Ring doorbell speaker not working with Echo Show 5
I have just setup a new Ring Doorbell and a new Echo Show 5, along with installing the respective apps on a phone and tablet, plus linking the apps and accounts. Via the phone and tablet I can successfully have a two way convo with someone at the doorbell. Via the Echo Show, I can view the doorbell camera and hear someone speaking through it, but they cannot hear me speaking through the Show. This is both with the Mic enabled and disabled via the onscreen button on the Show. In short - confirmed doorbell speaker works if communicating via phone/tablet app, but doesnt appear to work if using Echo Show

RI was beginning to think that I was losing my mind! SO GLAD that I found this post and that I am not a complete fool . . . yes, everything is set up correctly. No, I don't have microphones muted. Contacted Ring tech support and they said that since it was working on my cell phones but not the Echo Show it was an Amazon issue and not a Ring issue. Contacted Amazon tech support and they had me try unplugging the Echo about 6 different times. Also removing and re-adding the skill, unlinking and relinking the accounts . . . of course none of it worked. It's an internal problem and I hope that it gets fixed soon. Otherwise, the whole bunch of stuff might just be going back. I mean, it's kind of defeating the point, right?

Exact same issue here too. New echo show 5 with new wired ring doorbell. The caller at the door can not hear the echo show if ring call button is pressed outside. Not sure what to do now. I suppose I will have to return both items. I will keep them if Ring replies with a time frame for the fix.

SI have same problem (Ring wired doorbell and Echo Show 5, plus Echo dots) - person who rings doorbell can't hear you, but you can hear them. Could @Marley_Ring or @Tom_Ring please let us know when this is likely to be resolved? There is another thread re this issue to which I have attached a comment asking Ring to provide us all with a progress update as well.

AProblem continues. I read in another similar thread that turning off rich notification would the trick. Going to test that out.. @SarahDiac

PNothing heard from either Amazon or Ring. I have raised topics in both their Support Forums and received nothing except generic advice of enabling/disabling the Skill etc. - all of which have been noted as not achieving anything by various other posters. I've certainly not had a request to collaborate in a demonstration of the problem or send equipment to them for testing. Not looking promising..........

Sorry to hear that this concern is persisting for some neighbors here. Our team is certainly investigating and working to resolve this. While we continue to share this feedback with our teams, please ensure to try the steps mentioned previously in this thread. [quote="Marley_Ring, post:5, topic:56150"] please ensure the microphone is toggled on your Echo device screen. You will see in our [help center article ](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017596112-Two-Way-communication-through-Amazon-Echo-devices), there are a few commands that will initiate two way audio. Check out the tips there to see if they work for you. If none of those methods or troubleshooting steps work, try removing and re-adding the Ring skill to the Amazon device/ app. Please also ensure that your Alexa device is within range of your router’s wifi signal. Additionally, try out the two way audio on different event types, such as live view, motions, and/ or Video Doorbell rings. [/quote] If these suggestions do not help to resolve your concern, our support team is happy to take a further look for you. Please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406). We’re taking additional steps to protect our team and help reduce the spread of COVID-19, so this has resulted in longer than normal wait times.

Thank you for returning to update us on your experience, @SarahDiac! I've also completed these steps on my personal account and can too confirm that two way audio is working as intended on my Echo Show, with all event types, and with Rich Text Notifications enabled. :) Hopefully this is now working as intended for all neighbors in this thread. If not, please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406). We’re taking additional steps to protect our team and help reduce the spread of COVID-19, so this has resulted in longer than normal wait times.

Identical experience here in Melbourne, Australia. I can have 2-way conversation if I ask Alexa on the Show 5 to "talk to the Front Door" but if I simply tap the Show 5 onscreen mic icon when the Ring 3 is pressed they cannot hear me. I feel I've wasted $400 because this is for a business location and it doesn't do what is advertised.
