  Did you ever find out why this was happening? I’ve had my ring for 2 days and it’s been fine until today, day 2, I’m getting exactly the same that happened to you.

  I'm having the exact same issue. I installed the Ring 3 about a week ago, and it was recording audio with events just fine until a few days ago. It records 2 seconds of audio and then nothing but video.

  Hi @melo\_sm! Audio connection concerns are often related to wifi, mobile device, or Ring app communication variables. The best first thing to check is your wifi signal strength, or RSSI, which can be found in the Device Health section of your Ring app. Check out our [Community post about RSSI](https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Device-Tips-and-How-To-s/How-it-Works-Your-Ring-Device-RSSI-Good-vs-Poor/ba-p/751) for tips on optimizing this signal strength. Removing and reinstalling the Ring app is a quick way to ensure it is up to date and optimally integrated with your mobile device. On your mobile device, try testing audio on wifi only, and then on data only, to see if either connection is more efficient. Please also ensure bluetooth and VPN is disabled. I hope this helps! :)

  Hi @Marley\_Ring my RSSI is 56, power status is 'very good' and my app is up to date. I'm not using a VPN but I'm not going to disable my bluetooth on my phone. So if that's the solution, your developers need to come up with a better fix than making its users turn off their bluetooth. Considering that it was working just fine a week ago when I installed the device, and I had my bluetooth on at the time, I doubt that this is a user error. Fix your bugs.

  Also - I just used the wifi test that is built into the Ring app, and my download speed is 38mbps and upload is 67mpbs. so that isn't a problem either. I'm using the 2.4ghz band, not the 5ghz, as recommended in the installation documentation.

  I'm having the same issue, called support, which was a huge waste of time. The person in support was having me check the microphone on my phone, and all of these other things that quite obviously have no bearing on whether the DOORBELL is recording audio....very frustrating when we're told to contact support, but support is clueless as to simple cause and effect troubleshooting measures.
