OK i was breaking my balls since yesterday to get real usa sim to get google voice,yeah nice i finally go it. Jesus this was like a torture. So now once I have the damn number,speakers and mic is working when I press test but when I receive call I GET NO FREAKING SOUND,WHAT THE HECK? Seriously? I remember I used google voice 10 years ago and there was no problems and now I cant even hear a damn thing someone is calling me. Im total mental breakdown after this crap. I use web version,looks like nor in android or ios there is google voice app in my country. Anyone went through this crap?
 
First you need to enter the Google Voice setting then after turning on the specific setting you will be able to talk to USA and Canada numbers with Google Voice.
 

Check Your Device’s Audio Settings


  • Ensure your speakers/headphones are not muted or set to low volume.
  • If using a headset, unplug and reconnect it.
  • Try a different audio device (e.g., switch from speakers to headphones).
 
Are you sure it is not a browser issue. Maybe try switching to Chrome or maybe turning off any extensions that could be messing with the sound, mate.
 
Dude, that sounds brutal. I had similar issues with Google Voice a while back, have you checked your browser permissions for mic/speakers?

Great idea! Changing to Chrome or turning off extensions can surely assist in debugging the sound problem. It's always a good move to eliminate browser issues first before venturing into more advanced technical solutions. Appreciate it, bro!

Hey, I totally understand your frustration. Setting up Google Voice these days can be a real headache, especially from outside the US. You’re not alone, many people are facing similar issues. If your mic and speakers work on the test but you can’t hear anything during real calls, it’s likely a browser or settings issue. Make sure your browser has permission to use your microphone and speakers, and check the audio settings inside Google Voice. Also, try turning off any VPN, ad blockers, or browser extensions, sometimes they interfere. Restarting your browser or even using a different one can also help. It’s not as smooth as it used to be, but with a bit of trial and error, it should start working properly. Hang in there!
 
you check during installation, sometimes you have checked speaker and mic fully no problem but sometimes there is still problem in other factors, machine access can be reset and not allowed to access the above tools

Try GV in incog window, clear cache, recheck mic and spkr perm in browser. Use Chrome. Also check Hangouts not interfering. If still no sound, try diff browser or VPN location. GV bugs hard sometimes outside US.
 
Yeah, I had a similar issue once. It turned out to be a browser permission problem had to recheck mic/speaker access and clear cache, then it worked fine.

I got my Google voice number set up last week and having the exact same sound issue. Really thought it was just my setup but glad to know others are facing this too.
