Ring Doorbell Pro issue: doorbell/chime randomly rings when in LIVE mode speaking through the device
Everything is working great except for one thing. When I click to go live through my Ring Doorbell Pro and click the microphone so I can speak through the device, after about 5-10 seconds the digital in-house chime starts to ring multiple times in a row... I can’t figure it out. Is this a common issue where some setting needs to be changed?

I am experiencing the exact same behavior with my ring wired doorbell pro. Seems like a bug to me. Whenever I talk live the doorbell starts ringing. It is wired the same as my original wired pro and it never had this issue.

RP.s. If you had a old power kit in there you need to chang it out with the new one in the box

RHello, just following up and reviving this topic. Was there any other solution for this? I have a digital chime box (NICOR prcp2) and was told a pro power kit is unnecessary. Chime selection is set to Digital in RingApp.

Yes, it is the pro power kit. You have to install it in the doorbell chime box. Connect one side of pro power kit to trans and one to front. Leave alone the existing wires in the chime box

Hi Neighbors. If you are having this concern, theres a few things you'll need to check. First, make sure that your [chime kit is compatible](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/209028546-Ring-Video-Doorbell-Pro-Chime-Kit-Compatibility-List).

Lastly, in the Ring app, make sure that you have the correct chime kit selected in the General Settings menu, under the Device Settings tile.

Hi there, @Devin! This should definitely not happen, and is not a feature of the Doorbell Pro. As for settings, there is a in home chime type setting found in the Device Settings for your Doorbell Pro, in the Ring app. Ensuring this option is set to digital chime kit, as you mentioned having, it should work as intended. A Live View triggered from the Ring app should certainly not result in a chime ringing. I recommend checking wiring and that the Pro Power Kit is installed with your chime kit. As you mentioned this happening when toggling the two way audio, this is likely related to power or app variables. Try removing and reinstalling the Ring app, as well as ensure there is not a vpn enabled. If this concern persists, despite checking the above variables, please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406).
