    Hi @bigred. Have you checked to make sure your chime kit is compatible with the Doorbell 2? You can check our chime kit compatibility list in our Help Center Article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003008663-Ring-Video-Doorbell-2-Chime-Kit-Compatibility-List). If the chime kit is not compatible, it will not sound properly. If it is compatible and is still not working, try resetting your Doorbell by holding down the setup button for at least 20 seconds. After that, you can follow the steps under Set Up a Device to get it set back up in the Ring App. Should the chime kit still not sound properly, please reach out to our support team for further assistance. You can give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406). We’re taking additional steps to protect our team and help reduce the spread of COVID-19, so this has resulted in longer than normal wait times.
