    How to troubleshoot no audio on my Canon VB-H43?

      candersonAug 28, 2025
      If there is no audio, check the camera's audio server settings and the sound and audio device settings on your PC. If using the Admin Viewer with administrator privileges, ensure the camera isn't connected to the RM Viewer or another viewer that's using audio. For VB Viewer, the Canon Network Camera Audio Receiver add-on must be installed. If you're using Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on a 64-bit system with the camera as a trusted site and protected mode enabled, disable protected mode.

      If you see a message that your web browser is not supported, use Internet Explorer 8 or greater. If you see a message to install .NET Framework x.x, install the corresponding version or enable the settings. If JavaScript is not available, enable [Active Script] in Internet Explorer's security settings. Ensure you've installed your Admin Tools Certificate and, if using Internet Explorer 9 or greater, registered the camera's IP address as a Trusted Site. Also, enable [XAML browser applications], [File download], and [Launching programs and files in an IFRAME] in Internet Explorer's security settings.

      First, ensure the LAN cable is correctly connected and that your network settings (IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address) are correctly configured for your network. If you changed the IP address, reboot the camera for the new address to take effect. Verify that the correct URI (camera IP address) is entered in your web browser. Also, check if the connection is blocked in [Access Control] settings or if there are any issues with the authentication method, [User Name], [Password], combination of certificates, and network rules for connection in [802.1X] on the Setting page.
