I do not use zoom and I don't have a webcam. But in the past I have used skype on
Linux with a Logitech Bluetooth headset and the audio in both directions was crystal
clear.
You've recorded audio with another program? How did it sound?
Have you tried remote audio with something like skype?
I've done test recordings with Zoom and with Cheese. They both sound
terrible.
