Music suppressed in Zoom on Windows 11

It appears that Dell computers work differently. Try this:

@nonfab, I can definitely say, your solution is the real ticket. Windows 11 -- BAD, Intel audio driver -- BAD. Workaround is what we get for poor testing by both Microsoft (HP too as that's how my student lost Original Sound), and disabling Intel Microphone Array. Also had my student walk through the steps to reverse the workaround to reenable the array so everything else worked correctly. ALL of my other students and collaborators still worked because none of us upgraded to BAD Win 11.

I was finally able to get this working in Windows 11 though, it's still not great. I'm using an LG Gram with Windows 11.

In my case, I was able to search for Realtek Audio Console (it also appears that it's an app downloadable from the Windows Store, but was already installed on my laptop).

In the Realtek Audio Console -> Recording Devices -> Microphone Array -> Microphone Effects

The setting was defaulted to Omni-Directional with the "AI Noise Reduction" setting selected. Unchecking "AI Noise Reduction" immediately allowed instrumental sounds through.

Going through the rest of the selections, we found the "High Quality Record" setting best, followed by "All Off". Instrumental sounds were better, but then any other non-music sounds were also quite pronounced. Hope that helps

Hi everybody.

Seems we're getting into some real solutions from now on. I have a Dell inspiron with windows 11, in the start I didn't have the sound of my guitar on zoom or bandlab, any kind of sound transmission was impossible.

I did the same thing as some of you, I disabled noise suppression in Windows, original sound for musicians in zoom and changed browser. Edge worked a lot better tnan google, but it wasn't perfect, (can audio be perfect in zoom??) . After that I went into Maxxpro and did the following:

Maxxpro is originally with noise suppression, even if you don't see it. you must enable the noise suppression and speakers choice before disabling it...

Now everything works fine, as good as it can, also on google.

Instead of working on noise suppression, Windows should have worked on sound improvement...

Have a nice day.

This helped I have an acer with windows 11 as well I went into realtek audio console by looking it up with the windows button went into speakers and found a sub-heading named "Sound effects" and below there was a switch that said "Speakers Noise Cancellation (Voice call)" and turned it off and it stopped filtering out Music

Bravo!
