Zoom audio/ microphone.

Hi. I have a consistent issue when I am about to start a zoom meeting and have no mic or speakers recognised. I restart and this works fine after restart.

any ideas what the problem is? I only do zoom maybe once or twice a week so somewhere in between the devices are stopping being recognised.

Zoom / Microphone Issue Hi Everybody, When I log in to a Zoom meeting and test my audio, my speakers work (I can hear other people talking). However, my microphones do not work. (I am resorting, now, to using my phone for sound.) My microphones have worked in the past (on Zoom). I'm not sure if it’s just a coincidence, but the problem started happening after the most recent Zoom app update (about 2 months ago). Zoom video is working well for me. What I'm working with: 2013 iMac OS: Catalina, 10.15.7 Microphones: both internal microphone and external Tonor brand microphone are not working during Zoom meetings. Zoom stand-alone app (not browser-based) Things I’ve already tried: 1. Reinstalled Zoom. Didn't help. 2. Privacy settings (Mac) for microphone: checkmark next to zoom.us.app (Zoom is allowed). 3. System preferences (Mac) for sound: both outputs and inputs are at good levels. 4. Tested microphone on Zoom app settings: microphone *does* work when testing on Zoom app settings. 5. Tested microphone on the Voice Memo app (on Mac): microphone works. 6. Checked cord connection between computer and external microphone. (Everything plugged in correctly.) I'd appreciate any help you could provide. Thank you!

I can hear everyone on zoom but they cannot hear me When I am on zoom I can hear everyone but they cannot hear me for some reason. This just happened about a week ago.

The Continuity Camera is always upside down when using Zoom. The audio cannot be connected. The Continuity camera could only work the first time it was connected. After that, the image is always upside down and the audio function never works.

It is possible another app has changed the priorities of the mic & speakers. Try clicking on the menubar icon for the mic/speakers/audio to see if you can quickly change it to the correct device or check the Sound System Preferences.
