Microphone trouble

[Joe Zeff]

My laptop is running F 31 and Xfce, fully updated.  I'm trying to use 
Zoom to participate in meetings of a club I belong to but am having 
trouble with the microphone.  If I use a headset and mic, I can usually 
hear OK, but nobody can understand what I'm saying.  If I use the 
internal speakers and mic, the sound is sometimes OK, sometimes not. 
However, I'm told that there's so much static from my mic that the host 
mutes me before I can even say one, single word.  Does anybody have an 
idea as to how to correct this without throwing money at it?  Buying a 
new mic right now is out of the question, especially as I can't try it 
before I buy it.
