On Wednesday I had two staff members that were having problems with sound on their district laptops. Both indicated that they had issues that started in a Zoom meeting where they could not hear or be heard. Then they had problems with there being no sound in videos they played.

This reminded me of the issues we had during the pandemic. So I updated Zoom on their computers. I uninstalled the AMD High Definition Audio device and the Realtek (R) Audio, and finally scanned for new hardware. I created this video to show you how to do these three things. Please let me know if you have any questions on how to do this on your staff laptops.

Yes, there is such a thing as a coloring page generator. Take your own photographs and make them into coloring pages. I took a picture of Piggy and Elephant chilling out in the LMC today. You can adjust the slider to see what it looks like as the photograph or as a coloring sheet.
