Updated over 2 weeks ago

If you're experiencing issues with your Fieldy device not recording conversations or notice that the audio indicator isn't showing any activity, don't worry! We've put together this guide to help you resolve common microphone issues.

Common Signs of Microphone Issues

You might be experiencing a microphone problem if:

  • Your device isn't recording conversations

  • The audio indicator isn't moving or showing activity during recording

  • No sound is being captured when you speak

  • The microphone appears unresponsive

Quick Troubleshooting Steps

Step 1: Check If Your Device Is Muted

First, make sure your device isn't accidentally muted by clicking on the top right fieldy icon on the app :

  1. Open your Fieldy app

  2. Check the device status to see if mute is enabled

  3. If muted, simply unmute your device through the app settings

Step 2: Reset Your Device

A quick reset often resolves microphone issues. Here's how to do it:

  1. Press and hold the device button for 10 seconds

  2. Watch for the light cycle - Your device should cycle through four different colors of light (this confirms the reset is working)

  3. Wait for the device to complete the reset process

  4. Once complete, try recording again

This reset clears any temporary glitches and gives your device a fresh start. Many users find that this solves their recording issues immediately.
