Airpods static on zoom only

I have new Airpods (second-gen), which are working perfectly on every device and app - my iphone, netflix & youtube, spotify... I have two different PCs, one for work and one personal, and they work across all devices EXCEPT when I'm using zoom. On Zoom, they have a loud background static. I can hear everyone and they can hear me, so they're connected, but the static is impossibly distracting. Huge bummer because I got them to use for work! I've seen a few others post about this issue but no actual resolution from Apple yet?
