    Microphone problems


    Hi everyone, so my microphone has been not working on zoom calls. When I connect to zoom it says your microphone is not connected. I went to settings and the output works fine, but its the input that is messing up. I even tested my microphone to see if it works and it said the highest level it got was 0. I did find a temporary solution where I restart my computer and it will work, but I would like a more permanent solution so I don't have to keep restarting my computer. If you have any advice let me know. Thanks

    :)
