A few days ago Zoom started exiting immediately whenever I try to start it. No error, and barely even any time to see the window before it closes itself.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS

Graphics: NVIDIA Corporation TU117 [GeForce GTX 1650]

Sound: Alesis Multimix 4 (although there's also a mic in my webcam but it's not the one selected)

Video and sound work for other applications.

I've tried restarting, reinstalling using snap, Software Center, and downloading the .deb. The behavior is the same in all cases.

The following is logged in .zoom/logs/zoom_stdout_stderr.log each time:

I tried running : $ pulseaudio

the output is:

I also tried running: $ ps aux | grep pulse

and the output is

I'm very confused about what's happening here and why. Does anyone know how to address this?

We are a woodturning club who have members do active woodturning demonstrations.  We stream our meetings out on Zoom.  We use Rode Wireless Go II mics, one connected to a rearable headset on the demonstrator.  Using the audio settings options, we have tried Zoom Optimized Audio, and Original sound for musicians settings so far. The issue is  that with the lathe running and the demonstrator applying a tool to the project, audio in the recording cuts our completely, including the demonstrator's voice.  We haven't tried the low, medium, and high filter settings yet, as this is going on in the active meeting, and the problem only shows in the recording.  

Has anyone found a happy medium solution where you can hear both the demonstrator and the machine?

I get the message "We detected an unusual login from a device or location you don't usually use or have not used in a while". We are a non-profit and several people act as host. How often would I need to login as hoston my personal PC  to not get this error message? The code to proceed is sent to someone other than me.

(This is a new laptop so I don't know if this is a zoom issue or a computer issue.  This does not occur in the camera app)

On zoom, green "noise lines" flash periodically (but not in a regular timing) in one corner of the video (only in my video not on other attendees that is visible to myself and the other attendees).  The video itself stays fine but these flashes occur.  The attached picture shows one of the flashes.  Is it a setting to change or a computer issue?  It also happens when I am the only person in the zoom meeting.  The version of zoom is 5.13.7 (12602) and the camera is the built in camera on a Lenovo computer.

SInce the last update, I can no longer toggle between my work account and my personal account...when I go to the "switch account" option...te only thing there is a SSO option back to my work account....??? WHat's the work around? Anyone else have this happening?
