Zoiper Community edition users are welcome to share their questions with the Zoiper Support Community.

 

Hints:

Zoiper 3.13 and above users experiencing no audio issues:

Run Zoiper, go to Settings -> Preferences -> Audio -> Disable "Use WASAPI" -> then go to the "Device" sub-tab and disable "Use Generic HID" -> click "OK" and restart Zoiper.

Go to Settings again -> Audio Wizard and check if you are able to hear the test sound.

Troubleshooting

Note that Zoiper is not controlled remotely. If your initial setup have been working as expected for the time prior to the issues, and then a problem suddenly appeared, the most probable cause for it would be a network change, a change on the server-side or some other change in your environment.

 

Our Support and QA engineers would require some specific details to be able to assist you in the investigation.

    • Is it Windows, Mac OS X or Linux?
  • Are there any specific facts about your environment / setup? *

Debug information

Also, our QA and Support engineers would ask for a set of log files.

 

In case Zoiper is crashing or freezing, we will ask you to collect a debug log and crash dumps.
You may need to enable the debug logger manually.
