Getting 2-way audio working can be challenging since it depends on so many factors. Start here: https://github.com/dermotduffy/frigate-hass-card?tab=readme-ov-file#using-2-way-audio

I did follow that setup instructions, but it still isn't working

I did follow that setup instructions, but it still isn't working

At the very least your config (as pasted in this issue) does not match the instructions.

[shwarnock]

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I found that doc after posting the bug and have since updated my config to be

cameras:
  - camera_entity: camera.front_doorbell_camera
    live_provider: go2rtc
    go2rtc:
      modes:
        - webrtc
menu:
  buttons:
    microphone:
      enabled: true
      type: toggle

This still doesn't work though

Make sure you are accessing Home Assistant over https. Do you have 2-way audio working with go2rtc? if you get it working with that, it should "just work" for the card. Make sure go2rtc supports 2-way audio for your camera.

I am trying to do this through the companion app. Does the companion app use https?

[shwarnock]

Ok @dermotduffy So I wasn't using https. I have now setup HA to use https. However, I still cannot get audio to work. Can you walk me through how to verify 2-way audio is working with go2rtc?

[shwarnock]

Ok I was able to get this working. I will need to clean up my config some more, but I did not have webrtc setup properly in frigate. After I got that setup, I was able to play audio from my phone's microphone onto the Reolink Doorbell. I still need to figure out how to get the audio from the doorbell back to my phone, but it is at least a step in the right direction.

Is the reolink doorbell the only reolink camera compatible with 2 way audio? The E1 Pro does support 2 way audio but idk if go2rtc supports that one.

I've got E1 Pro audio working with rtsp protocol and using rtmp with reolink NVR.

I would be cool to get the 2 way audio working as well, if you managed to do it, share the configs
