Zoom kills my sound!

I have a Lenovo P14 laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 installed with all updates.  When I open Zoom, my audio is completely dead... going into system settings and trying to test returns silence.  Close Zoom, and sound returns.  I'm at 6.4.10 (2027) and had the same behavior with 6.4.6 (1327) earlier today.  My sound devices are identified as Meteor Lake-P 

 

I'm happy to provide anything that'll help figure this out.

I wish there was a "laugh" option.

 

The solution was t turn off "Automatically adjust microphone volume"

As an audio and broadcast engineer I can tell you that computer audio can be very complicated. Did you go to "test speaker & microphone" in Zoom and make sure that Zoom's audio settings are correct? System settings don't necessarily control Zoom's settings.
