[NJTechDiv] strange issue with zoom.

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Ken.

Zoom doesn’t control the mic or sound.  That’s in another app, which I forget the name of.  But, when I plug in a headset or speaker, the sound app always asks me to identify it.  I’d think it would remember, but no.  And, if I switch sometime in the middle, especially from a headset to the computer mic, it gets real confused.  That’s in Windows 10.

Hi tech division ken with a question just now in chapter meeting when I couldn’t get denise into the meeting I decided to switch to my headset and a strange thing happened instead of the computer disconnecting my speaker I find myself listening to the meeting on the speaker but it is using the microphone on the headset.  Why doesn’t’ zoom recognize the headset for a sound source but it does know to change microphones. If I pull out the headset NVDA will say, your microphone has changed and the USB mic will be used. Why doesn’t it also know OK there is a headset there.  Funny thing is just now did a test and winamp is playing on the headset just as my computer is talking through the headset.  Strange.
