I have had my Google wired doorbell for about 1 year. This seems to be a common amount of time before the issue i am complaining about appears. The audio to my wired nest doorbell has stopped working. Shocking I know. Since there are literally 1000s of people reporting this same issue. Now Google AI just tell you to check the mic settings and or factory reset the doorbell. But these steps do not fix the issue. Google knows this. I mean after all they are pretty much the internet search engine. So why wouldn't they see these 1000s of complaints and yet still tell their consumers to follow steps that don't work. I still have video, and since video is more bandwidth then audio, it makes no sense for the audio to quit working. The only logical idea i have is the audio picks up on sounds as the doorbell hears them. Voices, people walking by talking, dogs bark. All these trip off the indicator. Over time i'm thinking the indicator get tired of this and just turns the audio off. Prove me wrong Google, fix this issue!!!!!!!

I can agree with you 100% google totally disregard their users. Google sell the product then abandon the user its pathetic and we as consumers only have reviews as a sort of defence against googles power.
The amount of ongoing issues with cameras doorbells and the home app ia farcical. Unless you're a user haha then its downright distressing.

Hi everyone,
@GenPain2U, thanks for reaching out here in the Community. To confirm, have you tried checking the Audio recording settings of your Nest Camera? When this is on, events in your video history will include everything your device's microphone hears, as well as the voice of whoever is speaking to a visitor during a talk & Listen event. When this is off, you can still listen live.
Give these steps a try:
Home app
Nest app
Hit this link for more information and let us know how it goes.

Hi-
As my original posts states. Nothing has changed that would require me to check my settings. There are literally 100's of reports of this issue. It is a Google defect. Thus Google ignores it's customers and just keeps telling em to try "the above steps"
