Step 5: How to enable ‘Original Audio’ for Mac
If you don’t have an Apple device and instead have Windows or Android, the instructions are quite similar, as stated below, but may be displayed differently.
Open up your Zoom app and scroll to the preferences section.
Then, under the Audio section, turn off the setting for ‘Automatically adjust microphone volume”. After doing this, you then set the setting for ‘Suppress background noise’, to low.
