There are lots of audio setups that will work, but below is a path you can take, focused on simple, affordable solutions that will all result in a professional-sounding interview. In this path, you will use a third party audio routing tool to broadcast certain applications from your computer, bypassing all other device sounds like notification sounds, update reminders etc.
