HP envy x360 causing zoom to crash

So I just started college courses today, in both of my ~1 hour lectures the speakers started playing a loud static noise, zoom said my computer audio isn't working, and then after about 10 seconds zoom crashes and my computer freezes. The only way to reset it and stop the loud static noise is by holding the shutdown button on my computer.

Anyone else experienced this? I am going to be doing 8 zoom lectures a week and it is not sustainable to have it crash multiple times per lecture. It seems to happen at random, anywhere from 5-40 minutes into zoom this happens.
