Windows 10: Why is music e.g. YouTube, Spotify muffled although speaking or singing is clear when Zoom...

GhengL · Feb 6, 2023

Hello! I’ve been having this problem since purchasing an ACER Aspire 5. Whenever I’m in a meeting on Zoom or Teams, the music that I play directly from my laptop or apps on YouTube and Spotify get muffled except for the speaking or singing. It’s like Zoom or Teams is cancelling the background music except for the singing or speaking. I’ve adjusted Zoom settings to no avail. Appreciate any advice please. Thanks.

:)

Music is the great connector. It unites us across markets, ages, backgrounds, languages, preferences, political leanings and income levels. At Spotify, we believe in music for everyone—and today, we are one step closer to making that a reality as we unveil a new, improved, and more personalized way to discover music and listen to what you love on Spotify, for free.

With a new design on mobile, Free on Spotify includes a number of new features to make the listening experience more tailored to what you need to hear, now.

“Our customers always tell us that music discovery and listening is a personal experience, and we are enhancing the free experience with this in mind,” said Babar Zafar, VP of Product Development at Spotify. “This is the beginning of an evolution for Spotify and we will continue to make improvements that mirror our customers’ needs. This is not only about giving users a more customized free experience from the day they sign up, but giving them more control over their listening experience so they can easily find and stream their favorites anytime, from anywhere.”

These new playlists are easily accessible on the new Home screen, which is always being updated based on your listening activity.

Create your own playlists

Playlists are the key to creating a mood, whether it’s morning workout or weekend dance party, and now it’s even easier to create and edit a playlist with Spotify. Just give your playlist a name, search and preview specific tracks, and add to your playlist. As you save songs, we’ll continue to suggest more songs that we think you will like.

Play music using less mobile data with Data Saver:

Music should be accessible to everyone, in every market—the love of a great song is what connects communities and cultures across the world. But many users of Spotify for free around the world aren’t able to enjoy music whenever they want, because of the volume of mobile data streaming typically uses. That's why we created Data Saver, a simple toggle switch that optimizes the listening experience to use less mobile data when listening to music.

The new free experience will be available on iOS and Android and will be rolling out globally to all markets in the coming weeks.

Happy Streaming!
