Having the same issue here. The windows post advises pressing the green button to activate the call this seems to make no difference along with the advice of checking sound output this also made no difference. Sound is working on other applications. Thanks Terence

Same problem. When someone Rings the door I the app on my Imac alerts me. However, I'm unable to communicate with the other person and I can not hear them. This was not a problem until about a month ago. Solution? Thanks

MHi @billbIII! As you have confirmed this working on other devices, have you tried remove and reinstalling the app on your mac mini, as well as check sound options? If so, please also check for any other apps that might be open and conflicting, or even a vpn that might be enabled. Feel free to let us know how this goes! :)

BHi and thanks for the response. I've removed the Ring app, plus all the files in the Library associated with it, then fresh installed from the app store. I rebooted, zapped PRAM and ran the app when the system booted up - same set of issues. The outputs are set correctly for sound and I do get sound output fine from other applications. The audio makes it to the recording from Live View, just not back to the app on the mac.

MHi neighbors! Audio should certainly be operational on any Ring app. The best first step here will be to remove and reinstall the Ring app on your device. Next, please check any sound preferences and ensure there is not a vpn enabled. If the above steps did not improve audio, please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406).

Ssame issue, from what I read above nobody was able to solve it by following the links, this clearly looks like a bug in the app

I have a similar issue right now. The sound does not come out of my selected output, but chose a different source (one of my monitors) for some reason. I can't change it to my speakers which is selected under the Sound settings.

Hi @dimloukas, when you open up the Live View on your Mac app, as you pressing the green phone icon in order to accept the call to then hear what is on the other side? It's also possible that you may be running into a concern that other Windows App users were having. You can learn more about the solution that worked for them in our Community post [here. ](https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-App/Windows-10-app-no-sound-in-live-view/m-p/22207/highlight/true#M2620)
