[NFBCS] zoom problem

[Steve Jacobson]

Another approach is to establish a meeting and then just dial in on a phone.  This is obviously lower fidelity, but it allows time to experiment.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

Easier than recording and playing back is to simply use the "Test Microphone and Speakers" option. You can do this in a meeting and I'm 99% sure you can do it from the Zoom client before joining a call.  If you are in a call and on the Zoom Client for Windows the test can be found by tabbing to the Audio Option which is one tab after Mute/Unmute and one tab before Turn Video on or off.  In that menu you'll find a listing of all input devices, then all output devices and along with the test.

The test is easy to use, first it'll play a sound to ensure speakers work, then you'll hit yes that you can hear the sound, then you'll speak and pause your speaking for a moment, after just a second or to you'll hear yourself.  You can also test if JAWS is heard by simply having JAWS read the time then pause and see what you hear if anything.  I use this sometimes if I'm assessing what background might bet picked up on a call.

Hope that helps.

Best,

That is how I make my YouTube videos.  I zoom myself and edit in reaper the video.

Zoom even separates the audio from the video for you.
Under settings you can set all channels (people and computer)  are all separated.  Really handy if you want to remix the conference.  Lower volumes of some people.

You can see sample on my youtube channel

Hello,

I didn't know you can zoom yourself.
I'll have to experiment with this.

Thanks,
Bryan

Only thing I can think of is the microphone is not working.

Sharing sound would grab screen reader sound.  Your voice comes through microphone.

Easy way to debug.

Zoom your self. Share sound. Turn on recording
Sing like you can. Then please stop. End recording.
End session
Recording will be compiled.
As sson as done play it back.

Hi,

Would someone know how to fix an audio problem when using zoom?
The other person on the call hears the jaws voice and does not hear my voice.

Thanks,
Bryan
