Where to find it

Preferences → Audio & Video

DinoX distinguishes call devices from recorded-message devices. A working voice message does not automatically prove the correct call microphone is selected. System Default uses the operating system’s selected device.

What to do

  1. Choose the microphone, speakers and camera under Audio/Video Calls.

  2. Further down, select devices for voice/video messages.

  3. Run the offered tests: listen to the speaker tone, check a short microphone recording and view the camera preview. These tests do not call anyone.

  4. Refresh the device list after connecting a device. Check the camera cover, system permission and whether another application is using the camera.

What do the choices mean?

Call Network Mode: Automatic

Normal setting. Changes apply to new calls.

Low bandwidth (2G, audio calls only)

For very slow connections; limited to audio calls. It is not a low-quality video mode.
