Troubleshooting: Dialer Connection

If you're experiencing problems with the dialer, narrow down whether the issue is internet, device, browser, or application. This guide covers connection, audio, the 'Aw Snap' Chrome crash, and three-way call drops.

Before You Start: Which Browser Should You Use?

EnrollHere officially supports Google Chrome and recommends it for dialing. Other browsers (Edge, Firefox, Safari) work but receive secondary support — if you're seeing reproducible issues on Edge/Firefox/Safari, switching to Chrome is usually the fastest fix.


1. Verify Your Internet Connection

Make sure you're connected to a stable network.

  • Run a quick speed test here: Dialer Speed Test

  • When reviewing your results, aim for:

    • Ping: under 100 ms

    • Jitter: under 50 ms

    • Upload & Download: consistent speeds without dropping during the test

If your connection is unstable, try switching networks or restarting your router before continuing.


2. Check Your Hardware and Software

Before making system-level changes, confirm that your setup is correct.

  • Inspect your headset or microphone for any physical damage.

  • Verify the correct audio input and output devices are selected in your computer's sound settings.

  • Ensure the EnrollHere application is updated to the latest version. Outdated software can cause unexpected dialer behavior.


3. Perform a System Refresh

A quick refresh can resolve many temporary issues.

  • Restart your computer or device.

  • Log out of the EnrollHere application, then log back in to refresh your session.

After completing these steps, place a test call to see if the issue is resolved.


4. Chrome Says "Aw, Snap! Out of Memory"

The "Aw, Snap! Out of Memory" error, especially on Windows 11 machines after recent OS updates. Here's how to fix it:

  1. Close other tabs and unused apps to free up RAM. Each EnrollHere tab uses ~500MB; if you're at 8GB total RAM you may need to be aggressive.

  2. Disable Hardware Acceleration in Chrome:

    • Open Chrome and go to chrome://settings/system.

    • Find the setting labeled "Use graphics acceleration when available" (you can also search "Hardware Acceleration" in Settings).

    • Toggle it off.

    • Relaunch Chrome.

  3. Clear cache: Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete → check "Cached images and files" → click Clear data.

  4. Update Chrome to the latest version: chrome://settings/help.

  5. If you're on Edge and seeing repeated crashes, switch to Chrome. We officially support Chrome and recommend it for production dialing.

  6. Restart your computer one more time and test the dialer.


5. Flush Your DNS Cache

If problems continue, performing a DNS flush can help resolve connectivity and routing issues by clearing stored network records and forcing fresh connections.

⚠️ Important: You must have administrator privileges(on your computer) to complete this step. Restarting your device after the DNS flush is required for the process to work correctly.

For Windows Users

  1. In the search bar at the bottom of the screen, type cmd.

  2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

  3. When prompted, click Yes to confirm.

  4. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:

    ipconfig /flushdns
  5. Wait for the confirmation message:
    "Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache."

  6. Close the Command Prompt window.

  7. Restart your device.

📌 Failure to restart the device can cause complications with the DNS flush process. It is a required step.


For Mac Users

  1. Open Finder and search for Terminal.

  2. Open a new Terminal window.

  3. Type or paste the following command, then press Enter:

    sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
  4. When prompted, enter your administrator password (no characters will appear while typing — this is normal).

  5. Press Enter.

  6. Close the Terminal window.

  7. Restart your device.


6. The Auto Repair Tool

If a support agent has suggested running the Auto Repair Tool, follow their instructions. This tool resets your local connection state and clears common stuck-session issues. It's available from your agent settings page (location may vary as it rolls out — ask support if you can't find it).


7. Conduct a Test Call

After completing the steps above:

  • Place a test call in the dialer.

  • Note whether the issue happens once or repeatedly.

  • Write down any specific error messages or unusual behavior.


9. Before Contacting Support

If the issue continues, please gather the following before reaching out:

  • The exact time the issue occurred

  • How often it happens (one-time, daily, every call, etc.)

  • Your browser and version (chrome://version)

  • Screenshots or a screen recording showing the issue

Providing these details helps our Support team diagnose the problem faster.
