Microphone issues using Zoom
A problem has appeared recently. After launching some of comm apps like Zoom my iMac microphone’s sensitivity is becoming lower than appropriate (about 5% of its usual amount). My interlocutors are complaining about excessively bad sound from me. This problem immediately transmits to other apps. There are only two ways to solve it — restart the computer or use headphones with an inner microphone.
It looks like MacOS reduces the microphone's sensitivity to a minimal level for an unobvious reason.
The last versions of both Zoom and MacOS are installed.
