Thanks a ton Chief for responding.
The issue happened before updating in Win10 as well and now the same in Win 11.
Screenshot attached again
The microphone works fine . Only goes off when I log in to zoom or teams or any online meeting.
While that message appears on the screenshot there is a notification that appears from Asus App asking to shut the Noice cancellation. Post I do that Mic works but the speaker goes off. If a couple of times I keep fiddling with the speakers etc in respective apps then it will start working for a while and then shuts off in the middle again.
Haven't tried plugging in the microphone as the laptop does not have a microphone port
frustrated to the core. Please help
