To adjust ring video doorbell 2 volume, open the Ring app and navigate to the Audio Settings for your device. From there, you can control both the speaker volume for two-way talk and the doorbell chime volume using separate sliders.
How to adjust ring video doorbell 2 volume in the app
Adjusting the volume for your Ring Video Doorbell 2 is done entirely through the Ring app on your smartphone or tablet. Follow these steps to find the correct sliders:
- Open the Ring app on your smartphone or tablet.
- Tap on the menu icon (☰) in the top-left corner of the app.
- Tap on "Devices" from the menu.
- Select your Ring Video Doorbell 2 from the list of devices.
- Tap on "Device Settings."
- Tap on "Audio Settings."
Once you are in the Audio Settings, you will see two volume sliders. To adjust the volume for Two-Way Talk, locate the "Device Speaker" volume slider. To adjust the volume of the doorbell sound when pressed, locate the "Doorbell Sounds" volume slider. Move the respective sliders to increase or decrease the volume to your desired level. These two controls let you independently set how loud your voice sounds to a visitor and how loud the doorbell chime plays when someone presses the button.
Troubleshooting common volume issues
Low volume
If the doorbell or conversation audio is too quiet, first confirm the sliders in the Audio Settings are moved to a higher position. If they are already high, the issue may be related to power. Understanding how a Ring Video Doorbell is powered can help: the Ring Video Doorbell 2 needs a consistent power supply to keep its speaker performing at full strength. Check that the device is properly connected and receiving sufficient power. A weak Wi-Fi connection can also reduce audio quality, so ensure your router is within range.
No sound
If the doorbell produces no sound at all, begin by checking the device's power source. Ensure the Ring Video Doorbell 2 is properly connected and receiving sufficient power. If the power source is fine, verify that the volume sliders in the app are not set to the lowest level. Also, test the doorbell by pressing the button to confirm the chime plays.
Distorted sound
Distorted or crackling audio is often caused by a poor Wi-Fi connection or interference. Try moving your Wi-Fi router closer to the doorbell or installing a Wi-Fi extender to improve the signal strength. Additionally, check for any metal objects or electronic devices that could be causing interference near the doorbell.
Echo or feedback
If you experience echo or feedback during two-way conversations, it is typically because the microphone and speaker are too close together. Lower the "Device Speaker" volume slider in the Audio Settings to reduce the conversation volume. You can also try repositioning the device slightly to lessen the echo effect.
