You will need to use the ZoomAudioDevice driver. It is a bit fiddlier to do so, but ends up with a system that works well and is free.įor the Zoom audio settings use Built in Output for speaker and Built in microphone for the microphone setting. Alternatively, you can download one of three free loopback drivers and set them up to do the same job. You can use commercial programs like Rogue Amoeba’s LoopBack or their Audio Hijack program, and these are very quick and easy to use, but are expensive.
