Zoom - improve background audio

Modified on Wed, Oct 1 at 10:51 AM

Is Zoom cancelling out the "background noise" when you need that to be heard?


- Within Zoom, ap user  profile picture in top right, then settings. 

- Audio Settings

- Audio Profile 

- Change to "Original Sound for Musicians" 

- Tick High Fidelity Music Mode and Echo Cancellation, leave Stereo audio disabled. 

- Scroll Down - Advanced button

- Change "Signal processing by Windows audio device drivers" to OFF


The above settings appear to stay configured after a restart of the PC, but may need to be reconfigured after Zoom updates. 


When in a meeting, in full screen mode, ensure it indicates "Original Sound for Musicians: ON" - clicking on these words toggles it on or off.
