    1. Make sure to uncheck<\/strong><\/span><\/em> the box<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/span> next to “Automatically adjust microphone volume”<\/span><\/strong><\/span> (this allows us to hear music as loud and soft without wavering)<\/li>\n
    2. “Suppress background noise” <\/strong>must be changed to<\/span> “Low”<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0(this is set to Auto by default to maximize clarity of the speaking voice, and will otherwise suppress musical sound as “background noise”)<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Check box to “Show in-meeting option to enable ‘Original Sound” <\/span><\/strong>(you’ll need to enable the box on your screen EVERY TIME you start a music lesson in order to have the musical sound conveyed the way it really sounds)<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Check box for “High fidelity music mode”<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Check box for “Echo cancellation” <\/span><\/strong>(this is really important if you don’t use headphones or ear buds)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      (note: if you don’t see the above in your computer audio settings, then either you’ll need to update or, if you have updated, then restart your computer to ensure that the new version is fully registered on your computer)<\/p>\n
