Arlo Pro weak audio

[Trucha]

Bought the Pro mainly to have the ability to speak through the camera when someone's at my front door the sound out of the Pro can barely be heard I would say you have to be two feet away to be able to hear. a
Anyone experience this?

Spoiler

You need to call support to help you .mind appears to be OK

Support does not have a fix to issue yet. They stated that it's an issue with app on post today 11-30-16. They told me mine was defective and on my second arlo pro and still have same issue. Support has no clue how to fix issue yet. What phone or device are you using Norm547?

I suspect a long-term fix will be in place but we have to wait for the app to be updated to support that.  Since the computer works fine, it's an app problem.

One thing you can do is to make sure you speak loudly and directly (~2 inches away) into the actual mic opening.  It can be cumbersome and isn't the way it should be but until a fix is applied, it's the best you can do.

Yes It does seem to be an app issue as it works fin from my laptop. I have all the latest firmware, apps etc and it is still not usable audio level

My new RMA cameras still have low audio on the Android app.

Norm547 I have a iPhone 6 with iOS 10.1 update and still same issue low speaker volume out of camera

[Cajun1985]

Support is no help until all apps are updated.

[jguerdat]

Question - is the mic volume able to be boosted on iOS?  It isn't in Android but would likely solve the issue.

[Cajun1985]

Yes, mic volume is all the way up and still low on speaker on camera.

[jguerdat]

I don't mean in the Arlo settings but in the phone settings.

[Cajun1985]

Yes. iOS is up to date and mic is all the way up. Sound comes in clear on phone but not on camera speaker. Thanks

[jguerdat]

Right now, your only option is to use a computer. Hopefully an app will be able to fix the mobile issue.

Any update as to when iOS app volume may be fixed?

[WWLightning]

I received an email from an open case that I have for a mic issue not being available (push to talk) for my Android.  They updated the app.  Not sure if it fixed the volume issue.  Haven't had a chance to really try it.   They suggest removing the app and then downloading the new version.  Give it a shot and tell us what you think.

[Cajun1985]

If anyone is seeing multiple images of their camera. You need to uninstall app and reinstall it. Just called customer service and they said they had a bug. Hope this helps. I tried everything and still having low volume out of speaker on camera for iPhone.

I just installed the arlo pro system. firmware updated to 1.090.0.0_9945.

Audio is so low it can't be heard coming out of the camera speaker. Return response from the camera is faintly heard on iphone. Audio is set at 100%. It looks like a common problem that has not been fixed. Any ideas?

[jguerdat]

Does it work ok with a computer?  If so, open a case with support so that your voice is added to all the others who experience this issue when using a mobile device.

[WWLightning]

Yes, make sure you put in a support ticket.  It's a longgggg process.  They are well aware of issues with this.  Make yourself heard by contacting support.

I have no audio on my arlo pro. Went to settings> devices
And there is 'video & Audio' heading. Under that is 'video settings' and ' Position Mode' . No audio settings anywhere!
I bought it for the two way speaker! Ugh!

[jguerdat]

You have to select a Pro camera since it's a setting for the camera. Don't stop at Settings, My Devices.

Suzanah1,

Under settings for Arlo Pro there are two separate clickable options for Video and Audio settings. What is the model number of the system you have? It sounds like you may have the original Arlo system (no audio), not Arlo Pro.

[Suzanah1]

Yes original so disappointed hope Costco takes return I need audio

[Suzanah1]

Thank you so muc for your help

[JeanS]

Is there firmware to fix the low audio on arlo pro? Cameras work great bit disappointed in the audio outside and inside.
