Tapo C500 - No audio from camera to phone
Update.
It was the little pinhole just below the camera lens/leds. It was filled with something probably caused by a bug.
The rear holes are from the speaker.
Don't get confused with those.
It worked as normal(original) after cleaning.
Just got the same issues today. C520ws
I heard a lot of noises and then it got quiet.
There's some internal static noise and I think the volume is really really low.
Touching tapping it sounds more normal. Panning /tilting sounds muffled too.
Not sure maybe the pin hole is clogged or something inside. Can't see it yet have to take it off from the inside of my window.
Of course just over one year now.
My shop says still 9 month Warrenty.
I hope so. Otherwise I would take it apart to see what's wrong. Mostly cheap membrane microphones. Easy to replace if known which type is used.

Running latest firmware 1.3.3
Model C520WS
Don't think that's the issue.
Didn't rain last days but today was very hot outside. It stopped working while already being in the shadow for hours and only gets morning sun. But outside temperature was 37 degrees.
Microphone is bad anyway.
Sound levels far away to low and nearby way too loud over all too low, always have to put the volume at 100% and close to my ear.
And bad quality. Hard to understand listening to voices.
Way too much issues with wind noise.
Adding some foam in future models and mayve better filtering would help.
