Enhancing What You Hear on a Zoom Call with SoundSource from Rouge Amoeba.

I was on a consulting call last week with a client who had asked about how to improve the audio coming in from their co-workers on Zoom calls.

The study included four men and four women who drove 500 miles each. The first 250 miles was driven in silence and the second while listening to music. Items such as speed, acceleration and braking were carefully tracked. Footage of the participants driving was reviewed and interpreted by London University psychologist Dr. Simon Moore. His conclusion: different types of music affect your driving style. Specifically, rock and hip hop are especially dangerous for drivers.

Usually, these built-in amps are too small to send the power a high-fidelity custom stereo system requires.

In no particular order, those factors are:
