Solved Google Voice telephony not working in Vivaldi
-
Hi,
I'm trying to set up my tower to make and receive calls. I have a usb microphone which is working fine. In Slimjet, I can use the mic and speakers to talk and hear calls. But in Vivaldi the call is placed, but then total silence on both ends ensues.In Vivaldi on my laptop (Win10), the setup, including the same usb mic, works as it should.
Back on my Linux tower, a second clean profile in Vivaldi also works correctly. So I concluded that an extension must be blocking things, but disabling them a group at a time did not solve the problem.
I have the mic allowed, notifications allowed, sound allowed, flash allowed.
For some reason the dialog to use the mic doesn't pop up when I make a call, so I have to click the small mic icon to bring it up, which is a pain, and then OK it. But the main problem is the sound not working at all in GV. (I can use the mic to record outgoing messages; it's just the calls that are not audible).

Thanks again. Starting with all extensions officially disabled did not change anything. The mic/speaker are working fine in Vivaldi, I can even hear the phone dialing, but then there is no phone sound once connected.
All the other parameters don't seem to me to be at issue, since they all work fine with Vivaldi otherwise, and I can even use them in phone calls successfully in a clean Vivaldi user profile.
I guess I'll just open that other profile when I want to make calls. It's not too difficult a workaround.
Thanks again.

I've now tried disabling all the extensions in my Vivaldi profile, and GV still does not work. I'm not clear how this would be different from my new profile, where GV does work. Moreover, Slimjet has many of the same extensions my Vivaldi profile has, and GV works in it.

Hi Gwen, and thanks for responding. Do you know if there is any way to discover and remove hidden plugins? I've read that since the changes in GV, the old Google Talk and Hangouts is incompatible and to remove them. But I don't see them anywhere, and vivaldi:/plugins no longer works.

Just checked on how to report a bug. I have no idea what codecs are installed. I think the instructions would be better if more detailed. Just saying.

I am also unable to make calls from Gmail in Vivaldi.
I am unable to do so in either Windows 10 or Linux (KDE Neon 18.04).
I tried the suggested workaround of opening a new profile window. I opened a guest window, but still was unable to make calls from Gmail successfully.
