Zoom desktop for Mac with stereo mic (Shure MV88+) only sends mono audio. Original sound is on.

I just bought the Shure MV88+ to use for remote viewing / recording of a rehearsal via Zoom, but I can't get Zoom to send audio from this device in stereo, despite double checking all the settings.  

 

I have a Pro plan and have enabled stereo audio in the user meeting settings, and also globally under the admin settings.

 

The MV88+ microphone records in stereo on iOS and Android, and is also supported for recording in stereo on PC and Mac.  It looks like a USB input device with 2 channels of input and output, in 16 or 24 bit, and sampling rates of 44.1 or 48 kHz.  A test recording on the Mac in Audacity confirms the stereo signal is good.  You can actually connect a pair of headphones to a jack on the back of the microphone and monitor the mic itself, and any audio from the PC / Mac that is routed to the Shure MV88+.

 

Using the Shure MOTIV app, I've configured the MV88+ to the following specifications: +25 dB gain, stereo pickup (120º), light compression, and 75Hz high-pass.

 

In the Zoom app, I've set the following:

 

Original sound for musicians

 

- [x] High Fidelity music mode

- [  ] Echo cancellation

- [x] Stereo audio

 

After the meeting starts, I select the MV88+ mic as the input, then click the "Original Sound" button in the top left corner of the screen.  (FYI, Zoom **changed** a default setting in November 2022 so you have to enable original sound every time you start a meeting or even when changing microphones.)

 

After doing all this, I join the meeting from another computer and listen to the audio.  The received audio still sounds mono.  

 

My test signal is some classical choral music played through a hi-fi stereo receiver.  The speakers are Klipsch RP-600M and I've boosted the midrange (1-8 kHz) to help bring out the voices some more.  The MV88+ microphone is set up on a table about 4 feet away, pointing at the receiver with the speakers on either side, with the volume turned up fairly high (~75dB SPL).  Zoom shows a strong signal on the microphone icon from the host Mac.  The guest Mac is with me on the other side of the house.  I've checked it with wired USB headphones and also AirPods Pro.  There's just no stereo spread to the sound; it's clearly mono.

 

I honestly think this is a Zoom bug.  

 

Has anyone else tried a stereo USB microphone like the AKG Lyra or other products with Zoom meetings?

One person can't join my zoom room. It gets stuck with it saying 'joining' on my end and the loading circle doesn't progress on her end.

 

Other people can join my zoom room, and she can join other people's zoom rooms, so it doesn't appear to be a connectivity issue.

 

Any solutions?

Zoom record/playback

I recorded some session om Zoom - the host allowed me to do that.  I eventually got them converted but when I play them, all I get is the image from the webcam - not from the screen activity I recorded.  Any ideas anyone?

Hi All,

I have an issue in that when I send a Zoom link in advance, and then at the due time start the meeting, invited attendees see the message that I am in another meeting when I am not. They cannot get into the meeting unless I send the link from inside the meeting. It's causing me big problems! Knowledgeable suggestions about how to address this issue would be very welcome and much appreciated!

Can I add a message to the Webinar banner that tells the user to call me for the password when they connect to the meeting?  My organization is going to password protect a weekly Webinar. We have announced the new password requirement but I know that people will be confused. I would like to help them when they attach to the Webinar and are asked for the password. Thanks in advance for your help or ideas.

For months now my organization has experienced a frustrating problem: re-occurring Zoom meetings in which the passcode changes on its own.  When we log in for the meeting there is inevitably a flurry of emails from people saying the passcode isn't working for them.  Then we have to send out a new link which makes the re-occurring meeting practically useless.  It's extremely frustrating and inefficient.  We can log-in to the Zoom account that originated the meeting to see the new passcode but that doesn't really help when the passcode is wrong in the calendar invite that was sent out.  Does anyone else experience this?  Is there any way to prevent it from happening?
