Symptoms

A Polycom HDX serial telephone device that is used in a Lync audio-video conference cannot hear audio from a remote HDX serial telephone device after the mute function is engaged in Lync Server 2010.

Consider the following scenario between three participants in a Lync Server 2010 audio-video conference:
  1. A Lync client calls Polycom HDX telephone device A.
  2. A Lync client calls Polycom HDX telephone device B.
  3. The user on Polycom HDX telephone device A presses Mute.
  4. After 10 to 15 minutes, the user on HDX telephone device A cannot hear audio from the device B.

Cause

This problem occurs because the Lync Server 2010 Audio/Video Conferencing Server inadvertently enables an audio codec to support Forward Error Correction (FEC) when it processes the mute operation for device A. The Polycom HDX endpoint does not support FEC. Therefore, the Polycom HDX telephone device A cannot receive audio from the conference.
