Trying to use this XLR to USB lead to connect dynamic mic or condenser mic to laptop.
it appears to work when I use Audacity, but when try it on Zoom the mic is muted. What am I doing wrong. Instructions on YouTube seem to suggest it should work.

Go to the Zoom settings and make sure the mic is selected in the drop down menu in the microphone settings

Thanks for you reply, but I have done that, or think I have and it makes no difference. It is recognised in Zoom, so I don't no why it is muted. It's very frustrating.

I have now managed to get sound through my mic. Going through my default settings, I set video output program to VLC, and magically I then had sound.
