| 1471376 | 2020-08-25 02:29:00 | My wife and I have been watching some Zoom meetings put out by our local U3A. I have a laptop hooked up to our TV & stereo so we can watch streamed movies, concerts etc on the big screen in comfort with good sound. Audio/video go to the TV via HDMI and the digital audio signal goes from the TV to the stereo through a SPDF connection. All works just as it should - except when using Zoom. Then the sound insists on coming out via the laptop speakers, even though the default audio output is set to the HDMI. I can connect a pair of speakers to the laptop speaker socket so we can hear what's going on with reasonable sound, but my question is, why do I have to do this? It is almost as if Zoom somehow overrides the audio output setting, forcing it come out via the laptop audio. | Jayess64 (8703) | ||
| 1471377 | 2020-08-25 04:43:00 | Try this: After logging in. On the top right under your sign in name normally with your 2 initials. There is a spanner nut icon - settings. Click that and then click audio. You can change the speaker output to the same as the system use or you can also ask Zoom to use a different output. What might be happening is that Zoom sound is not set to the same as your system, it might be set to your laptop speaker instead. FWIW on my Zoom set up which I have not changed it from factory. It is also set to my computer's default PC motherboard speaker output. It is not set to whatever is my system default. Maybe Zoom think with conferencing most people would be using something more up close than their LCD TV ....... |

| 1471381 | 2020-09-01 04:39:00 | Today was the first opportunity to check the changed sound setup for this morning's Zoom meeting. I tried Agent_24's suggestion and sure enough, that did the trick and the sound came though the TV. No doubt Nomad's idea would have also worked, but the Zoom setup being used goes pretty much automatically - just click a link in the email invitation and away it goes. |
