This is driving me bonkers being unable to participate in class.

zoom doesn't detect mic on laptop or desktop, what the fuck

@siina
if you are on windows 10 then maybe your mic is disabled from the system

@mur2501 In Windows and Gentoo both, my microphone working just fine in other programs: I can talk to my sibling just fine. It is just in zoom that it doesn't detect my mic at all. :)
@mur2501 I have tried Firefox, Chromium, Vivaldi, and their electronshit download :)

@siina
The microphone works in doing otherstuffs from the same browser?

@mur2501 Yeps. I have already exhausted options :) it is okay though, I messaged the instructor and we're not doing any interactivity today.

@siina
Probably you should on the audio input devices available on tue system and which one is selected in zoom.

@mur2501 I said it doesn't even detect it, like it thinks nothing is there. :P I've tried replugging things.
@mur2501 It is something that zoom will resolve itself, I'm sure. It's not the first time this pile of shit has broken and fixed itself later.

@siina
It do looks like a zoom related problem, my classes happen on google meet instead of zoom which doesn't have much problems.

@mur2501 Yes, zoom is a flaming pile of shit that I wish I didn't have to use. This and WhatsApp. I had to get it just for this godforsaken class.

@mur2501
Our commiserations that you are forced to use that video conferencing system.
