However, technical difficulties can arise, such as audio issues on Zoom.


In this blog post, we'll show you how to fix Zoom audio issues during online piano lessons by enabling original sound in the settings and during the call.

Zoom has a built-in filter to reduce background noise, and this filter is especially noticeable on some iPhone and iPad devices. While it can result in a clear voice, it can cause problems when playing an instrument like piano or guitar. The sound may be cut entirely, and intervals may be lost. But there is a fix.


Step 1: Enable Original Sound in Settings

Firstly, you need to enable original sound in the Zoom settings. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open Zoom and go to Settings.

  2. Click on the Audio tab.

  3. Check the box that says "Enable Original Sound."

  4. Choose "High Fidelity Music Mode" for the best audio quality.


Step 2: Enable Original Sound During the Call

Next, you need to enable original sound during the call. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Start your Zoom call.

  2. Click on the arrow next to the microphone icon.

  3. Select "Audio Settings."

  4. Check the box that says "Enable Original Sound."

  5. Choose "High Fidelity Music Mode."


By enabling original sound in the settings and during the call, you'll be able to hear the piano with the best audio quality possible. This will help you to follow along with your instructor and learn more effectively.

In addition to enabling original sound, there are a few other things you can do to improve the audio quality during online piano lessons. For example, make sure that you have a good internet connection, use headphones to reduce background noise, and position your microphone close to the piano.

In conclusion, if you're experiencing audio issues during your online piano lessons on Zoom, don't worry. By following the steps above to enable original sound in the settings and during the call, you'll be able to improve the audio quality and have a better learning experience. Happy playing!
