Polycom Trio 8500 - Audio Problems

[Oktay]

We are also having the same issue with 2 new Trio 8500 devices. One thing we also discovered is that there is around a 20% of packet loss while pinging the device. Tried other Polycom phones with the same cable and they all worked fine w/o any packets lost. Upgrading to lates 5.8.0 firmware did not help either. The only thing that comes to my mind is that these all are defective units. I have never come across this issue with any Polycom devices in my last 15 years.

Hello @Oktay ,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

We would need to look at this in support.

In order to raise a support ticket you need to work with your Polycom reseller as they need to do this for you.

End Customers are unable to open a ticket directly with Polycom support.

If this is some sort of an Internet discounter providing your MAC address or your Polycom devices serial will enable us to look up who would be able to support you. This may not be who you purchased the Polycom device from.

Please ensure to provide some feedback if this reply has helped you so other users can profit from your experience.

Hi Oktay

Did find a soltion for this? That is was there a setting to change or do i need to contact the support team?

[Oktay]

After trying many options like factory reset, firmware downgrade/upgrade, configuration change it turned out that it was a defective microphone. The RMA was approved and now we are waiting for a local distributor to send us the RMA form for a replacement. 

Regards,

Oktay

If your unit is really only that old ask broadbandbuyer.com to open a Ticket with us.

I have the exact same problem as Nils.

We a a problem with the speaker voice quality during a call.

If the microphone is muted the voice quality of the integrated speakers is excellent.

But if I activate the microphone the voice from the speakers is interrupted/intermittet and hard to understand..sometimes louder sometimes quieter.

This is the second phone I purchased that has this problem.  I bought this on Amazon and contacted the reseller per Steffen instructions.  They want me to return the phone and send a new one.  Each time I have to pay for my phone guy to prgram the phone.  This will mean I paid for two extra visits AND I still won't know if the third phone will work.  

Please help.

Hello @MarkAL ,

welcome to the Poly Community.

SCANSOURCE INC sold this unit 28/03/2019 back in so they should be able to open a ticket with Poly Support for you to RMA the unit so you can receive a new unit.

For your programming simply create a Backup via:

• Utilities > Phone Backup & Restore > Phone Backup > Phone Backup

Simply rename the PBU file into CFG and import back once you have the new unit via: 

• Utilities > Import & Export Configuration > Import Configuration

All you need to set is probably the SIP Password.
