I can't hear others in my space

Walk through these steps to troubleshoot audio issues.

Can you hear me now? No? Try following the steps below to troubleshoot audio input issues. 

  1. Check the volume on your computer to verify your speakers or headphones aren’t muted. (We've all muted ourselves by accident before.) 
  2. Check your Katmai audio output settings. This is done by clicking the settings cog beneath your self-view in the top right of your screen. Select/re-select the correct output.
  3. Refresh your browser window and re-select the settings in the A/V setup menu. 
  4. Check your internal system preferences to make sure the audio levels are up.

  5. Bluetooth headsets or microphones can occasionally cause an issue, so we recommend using wired or built-in speakers in Katmai. Try switching Bluetooth for wired if you run into audio issues. 
  6. Google Chrome is our preferred browser. When troubleshooting, if you are using a different browser (e.g. Safari or Firefox), try switching to Chrome. If you’re already using Chrome and still running into issues, check for browser updates. See: how to check and update your browser.
  7. Other video conferencing apps can monopolize audio on some machines, so if you are also running Zoom or Teams, try closing out those apps to fix audio issues in Katmai. 
  8. If you have slow internet speed on Wi-Fi, switch to ethernet or to a different network, if possible. We generally recommend a download speed of 100 Mbps and an upload speed of 10 Mbps or higher. If you’re using a wired connection, make sure Wi-Fi is turned off. You can check your speed with the Cloudflare Internet Speed Test
