Re: SoundStation IP 5000 Mic Volume / sensitivity low

Hello Andez,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

 

I am trying to understand the scenario of the call. What is the Laptop in this call ?

 

Does this only happen when you call a PC or also via PSTN ?

 

Did you test this without the expansion microphones yet ?

 

Are you using the right microphones?

The community's VoIP FAQ contains this post here:

Is this a brand new device ?
