Hi,
1. The firmware version 1.0.6 is the latest firmware version of the Tapo C500 V2.

 

2. Can't you hear the sound from the camera when watching the camera's live feed on the Tapo app even if someone is talking or something making a sound in front of the camera?

 

3. Could you please send us a video showing the reported issue?

 

Best Regards

 hi  @Solla-topee no sound on recordings or live video, nothing makes a difference. on this video i recorded live, while the car on the right was started, and the engine running. if you turn the volume way up, you can hear static "Clicks" frown

Hi,
Please check if the following suggestion will be helpful.
1. Adjust the volume of the camera's microphone and speaker to maximum, and speak in front of the camera to see if there is any sound.
    a. microphone: go to the camera live view page in the Tapo app, and tap the microphone icon to adjust the volume.
    b. speaker: go to the camera's Talk or Two-way audio feature on the live view page, the volume setting is on the top right side of the feature card.
2. Make sure that there are no obstructions covering the microphone and speaker on the camera.
3. Ensure the camera is positioned to allow clear and unobstructed sound reception.
4. Do not set your phone in silent mode, and increase the media volume for a try.
Best Regards

  @Solla-topee hi. nothing makes any difference. when the mic is turned up, the static "clicks" and sounds just get more clear. all is good with the camera placement, and the mic is not covered up.
