Zoom distortion/cutting out only with AirPods/AirPods Pro

[haralds]

I have AirPods (G2), AirPods 3, and AirPods Pro. They all cut out and have problems with only Zoom.
Has anybody else seen this or found a solution? I have tried lowering the background noise management, but you cannot turn it off altogether.

I'm having this same issue ..latest Mac OS (Monterey) and AirPods Pro firmware. frustrating. have you found a fix?

Oh, wow, was just about to post the same. ONLY on Zoom. Calls start fine, and then after some time, sound starts getting underwater-y, and worse and worse. Other participants also say my sound gets quite bad.

I disconnect and use speakers and MacBook Air mic, and all is fine, so it's not the Zoom connection.

Very new problem; last version or two, or perhaps the AirPods firmware update. This is really frustrating.

I think it's Zoom's noise management features interfering with AirPods.

Interesting. However, I didn't have any issues the past 2 years of Zooming, until a couple of months ago. So it's someone's update: either Zoom, or AirPods, or Mac. So many suspects....
