How do I get the spinning wheel of death in Zoom to end / be fixed? (specifically the audio that doesn't connect)

This was not always the case but I can only get on zoom on my phone. My MacBook Air does not allow for the audio to be checked and then I get the spinning rainbow wheel. This has been happening now for months.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.14

Is your Mac paired with Bluetooth Speakers? Remove them, or verifying they are working first with the sound preferences/settings.


Is your Mac's audio anything more than 16 bit 48kHz? Audio Midi Setup utility in Applications -> Utilities can verify that.


If you are running any optimization software, remove it.
