Ring Intercom and Videx 3171 Speaker Feedback

Hi All Received the intercom a couple of days ago which was great given it was not supposed to launch until the 1st. Setup was really straightforward however I have an issue I just cannot solve. I have a Videx 7131 intercom in my apartment which requires the B wiring and two wires into "L" & "-" which was straight forward. Checked and rechecked connections and all good to go. Started the setup and the intercom connected no problem, went outside to "dial" my apartment but when I tapped the app to say I had dialled (could hear my buzzer going off) but then just got a high pitched loud hum from the speaker. Tried numerous times and even with other 3171 derivatives just in case but the same. Decided to hit I could hear the voice and re-entered my call and the door unlocked. So I now have a system I can unlock the door with, and through Alexa, however I cannot hear or talk to anyone other than hear a loud hum from the outside speaker. Any ideas or help really appreciated. Can send photos or video if it helps

      Just a suggestion - add the intercom tag so that your post has better visibility on this site.

        Also, are you sure you mean Videx 7131 and not Videx 3171? [This site](https://intercomsrus.com/finder/#V) has details (photos, pin outs) of various Videx handsets.

        So when someone calls you from the outside door you cannot hear them?

          Hi DaveGG No cannot hear anything other than feedback on the outside unit, no sound coming through the app.

          Have you tried reducing the Intercom microphone sensitivity in the Ring app? Reducing it a couple of notches helped eliminate feedback on my system.

        Can I confirm with you that you have the unlock door button from within the app? I have the 3171 p and I do not hear what you describe. The only loud high pitched hum I hear is when outside the main entrance and when the door unlocks. It goes off after a min or so or when I end the call on the app. It sounds in mine like feedback? Everything else works though (except the app unlock button) David
