Key notes
Regardless of whether you are talking about work of personal reasons, being able to send messages to others and make calls can be extremely useful. However, most tool s of this kind usually involve a lengthy login process and a client that needs to be installed.
However, that is not the case with Google Hangouts, a communications tool created by Google which is accessible as a web service. Unfortunately, things don’t go too smoothly with this tool, since a handful of users have reported having issues with the audio during calls.
Since Google Hangouts is quite popular, we’ve decided to write an article on the matter, so that you can finally enjoy voice calls the proper way.
What can I do if my Google Hangouts audio is not working?
1. Troubleshoot your hardware
3. Perform a PC reboot or simply restart the call
Note:The only web browser that fully supports Google services is Google Chrome. Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge also offer to support to google services, but they are limited.
2. Make sure that your Hangouts settings are set properly

4. Make sure that the other person is not the one with video issues
If none of the steps mentioned above worked, then make sure that the person that you are trying to call doesn’t actually have speaker issues. Advise them to troubleshoot their speaker settings and adjust their volume.
By following these guides, you should be able to fix all audio issues with your mics on Google hangouts.
