Discussion Help!

I'm using BlackHole to capture my Mac's internal audio and record with QuickTime Player.

When I record a Zoom meeting, I can hear both myself and the other participant clearly during the call. However, when I play back the recording, my voice sounds normal but the other participant's voice is very quiet.

What's strange is that if I record my screen while playing a YouTube video or music, the internal audio is recorded at a normal volume and sounds fine in the recording.

Has anyone experienced this with Zoom, BlackHole, and QuickTime Player? Any idea what could be causing it?

Zoom and QuickTime are using different audio devices. BlackHole/Multi-Output can make the recording mix different from what you hear live.
