I did, however, find a workaround for now, I'm just not sure of its stability/reliability: I saw issue #133, where a volume control UI was discussed, but deprioritized because of a lack of anywhere sensible to put it.īut since Zoom support can't seem to help me beyond "use audio sharing, if it's too loud turn down the volume at the source", it's kind of a necessity if I want to keep having music (which I do!). The problem with that is, it's now IMPOSSIBLY LOUD again, because I have no opportunity to intercept that signal and turn the volume down. So I have to abandon the "music as microphone" approach, and switch to doing it this way (which admittedly is a feature I didn't know existed until now): I can't really seem to convince support that a bug has been introduced, though, so ?♂️.)
(I guess with this "background noise suppression setting" feature they rolled out, they must have tweaked some of the underlying dsp code such that it applies some noise gating or something, despite Turn On Original Sound being engaged. Unfortunately, as of having updated the zoom client on that machine last week, this suddenly no longer works correctly the music is now silent most of the time and occasionally briefly cuts in. while avoiding the rearranging the meeting layout and dominating it that "share screen" would cause.
