I received a copy of Zoom version 5.6 to test and I'm finding that my JAWS audio shares when I share a screen with computer audio. To stop this from occurring, I changed my JAWS sound card (JAWS, Utilities menu, Sound Card) to be a plugged in set of headphones
(either USB or a 3.5 mm jack). When I changed this setting and shared my screen with computer sound via Zoom, my JAWS audio did not come through since Zoom was using the device my computer was using. This meant that I had JAWS in my headset and Video audio
coming through on external speakers... It seemed to be working ok? Have others tested this out recently? </div>

I'd also be curious if others are using a different method for separating JAWS audio and computer sounds (i.e. a video) on Zoom. </div>

Last week we discovered an issue with the latest version of Zoom (5.7.6) and JAWS, so I’m sharing what we found in case anyone else has the same trouble.</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:12pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">

The person who reported this is an expert JAWS user, so we were able to quickly rule out JAWS and Windows settings as the cause. Previously, they have found teaching with Zoom to be fairly accessible, especially since Zoom improved a11y of polling. However,
when this person attempted to lead their first online class of the fall ‘21 semester, they realized Zoom started mixing all audio from both soundcards and sharing it to all attendees while screen sharing with computer audio. This caused a major distraction
because students were required to closely analyze an audio track synchronized to text, but JAWS was talking over everything during the entire demo. Normally, the separate soundcards allow the instructor to limit JAWS audio to just their earbuds and the rest
of the class never hears it.</p>
<p class="x_x_MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size:12pt; font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">

After some troubleshooting, we rolled the user back to the last known version of Zoom they used in the spring where the issue didn’t occur, which was 5.6.0. Sure enough, rolling the version back “fixed” the problem. However, when they relaunched Zoom later,
it automatically updated to the latest version again and the issue returned. One of our campus Zoom admins was able to provide a non-updating version of the installer for version 5.6.0.</p>

We’ve reported this issue with 5.7.6 to Zoom support, including video evidence, and last I heard it has been moved to their developers. Hopefully they will apply a bug fix with the next release since we clearly demonstrated that Zoom was the cause of the issue.
In the meantime, if anyone else experiences this same issue, please reach out and I can provide you with more specific details about the workaround.</p>
