this happens a couple of times a day. The audio functionality (Microphone and Speaker) stops working and I'm not hearing sound when live streaming Arlo Q.
so far I had to restart the camera everytime to fix this. is there a permanent fix to it?
Arlo Q settings is checked and made sure microphone is enabled.
it is not the web browser issue casue I checked the PC and my Iphone app and both had the same issue.

Contact Netgear Support
Also some of the Pro cameras had hardware issues

I have exactly the same problem. I have two Arlo Q Plus cameras and one Arlo Q. For all of them, audio cuts out after a short amount of time. First, audio gets choppy, then a few hours later, it's gone. I have a 24h recording subscription for one of the Arlo Q Plus cameras and when audio cuts out, it completely stops recording audio as well - it's not just an issue with the live stream.
If I reboot the camera or simply turn the camera off or on again, the issue disappears for some time and then comes back after anywhere between 12 and 24 hours.
As this is an issue I'm having with all three cameras, I'd say it's probably not hardware-related but rather a firmware bug.
So far, I've tried:
- switching PoE adapters (I've used tp-link ones, one made by ZyXEL and now I have them hooked up to my PoE master switch. Didn't make any difference
- I've hooked them up to a variety of WiFi APs (Unifi, Fritz!Box etc.), no difference.
- Various apps (Android, iOS, browser), no difference.
I have a 500mbit/s (down) and 25 mbit/s (up) cable internet connection with gibabit LAN all over the house - that can't be the issue. I've recently replaced all the switches in the rooms with Netgear ProSafe models and the ZyXEL PoE switch in the server room is also new (before it was also a Netgear ProSafe). None of that made any difference. I should also say that I have other cameras in use (Netatmo Presence outside, as well as one Nest Cam and a MyFox camera that came with my alarm system). All of them support 24h recording and all of them work perfectly.
This has been really frustrating. I've wanted to add Arlo Pro cameras outside in the garage etc., but I'm putting that on hold until support can resolve this problem.

Already did. they advised me to remove it first and then add it again. I'll do it today and let you know if that helped.

I've done the same thing as well. Completely removed both Arlo Q cameras and re-added them. It would work for maybe 18 hours and then the audio portion would cut out and then the video would be buggy. Really thinking about returning this. Let me know if its good for you after a couple days.

I contacted the support and after a couple of days trying to resolve it, they sent me a replacement. I'll see if I have more issues with the new one.

This camera also has cvr running on it and the cvr audio is missing too. The microphone obviously works because videos are being triggered by audio,
This is a change in behaviour that has occurred without any setting changes by me.

Are you sure the WiFi signal is good? The symptoms sound like a weak signal or interference could be an issue.

Mine are hooked up via ethernet (500 mbit connection from the ISP, 50 mbit/s up) and I still have the same problems. It's not a WiFi issue.

Reset did not resolve the issue permanently for me, restarting the camera would fix the issue for 3-4 hours. I tried to troubleshoot with a Netgear support technician for a couple of hours (which he checked everything like device signal strength, internet bandwidth, etc.)
I am a senior network engineer at cisco, so when it comes to connectivity I know what I'm talking about. I suggest stop wasting your time and contact support. Most likely they will replace your camera.

I'm having the exact same problem with my Q. The audio cuts out during CVR recording and only comes back if I restart the camera. I also noticed that when the audio has cut out, the video skips around and gets digital noise (blocks) when people are moving across the frame.
Unsure what the problem is as the camera works fine for random amounts of time (usually between 12-24 hours) then a restart is necessary to fix the audio & video issues.
This problem doesn't happen if I take the camera off CVR and only use it for motion recording.

I just bought my arlo q on amazon. It worked perfectly for about a week and now I have no sound. I am thinking of returning it.

I really think it's a problem with adding the cameras to the CVR plan; weather the 24/7 record causes hardware issues after x time, or if it's temporary wifi interfearance that goes away but then causes transmit issues with the cameras untill their restarted...
I detailed my experience with the Q & Q+ on CVR in another thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Arlo-Q/CVR-and-motion-detection-videos-3-4-second-lag/m-p/1298752#M...
Q works perfeclty fine when not on CVR, when on CVR there's always issues with audio, black video, not being able to live stream (all occur after a period of 12-24 horus of record time); all issues resolve after a restart of the camera. But it's not pratical to restart the camera daily.
