My laptop is running F 31 and Xfce, fully updated. I'm trying to use
Zoom to participate in meetings of a club I belong to but am having
trouble with the microphone. If I use a headset and mic, I can usually
hear OK, but nobody can understand what I'm saying. If I use the
internal speakers and mic, the sound is sometimes OK, sometimes not.
However, I'm told that there's so much static from my mic that the host
mutes me before I can even say one, single word. Does anybody have an
idea as to how to correct this without throwing money at it? Buying a
new mic right now is out of the question, especially as I can't try it
before I buy it.
