Also, although you can change volume playback and recording levels of your phone by using the Sound application in Control Panel, it is not recommended.

Using the Polycom CX300 Phone as an Audio Device

I cannot hear sound from my phone.

Check the following:

•The volume level of the speaker of the phone device that you are using (handset, headset, or speaker) may be set too low. Raise the volume level by pressing the Playback volume + button on the keypad. Be aware that the volume settings of the handset, headset, and speaker are independent of one another. Changing the volume setting of one device does not change the volume setting of the other two devices.
