I suggest you check your microphone gain level. To do it, try the steps mentioned below:

Choose Recording Devices

Finally, move the slider to choose the level. It will raise the Microphone and Microphone Boost option.

Use the microphone in a Zoom meeting

Hello @Bluewind, *Smile
Start Zoom app, then right click on the Zoom icon in System Tray > Settings then select Video from Settings -

Do you see yourself or any image from camera? Then next click Audio from same Zoom settings window and test speaker and microphone. See if that helps confirm your camera, microphone, and speakers/headphones are recognized and operational in Zoom.

I have found the Zoom app very useful for confirming my camera, microphone, and speakers are working on my PC *Smile Much easier than Windows anyway.
