Why your wired Ring doorbell won't ring inside the house is common issue with several causes. First, Ring doorbells often require internal chime kit and compatible mechanical chime, if you have digital or incompatible chime, internal ringing may not work, check Ring compatibility list, some digital chimes need diode. Second, if you did not enable Ring's in home chime setting in Ring app under device settings, chime options, it will not ring mechanical chime, you must set chime type to mechanical and enable ring my in home chime. Third, insufficient transformer power, Ring wired requires 16V 30VA transformer, old 10V transformer may power camera but not enough to trigger mechanical chime. Fourth, wiring error, loose wires or incorrect connection to front and trans terminals. Fifth, if you have Ring battery model used wired for charging only, it may not be designed to ring mechanical chime, only battery models with wired trickle charge ring via app not chime. Solutions, check transformer voltage with multimeter, ensure app settings correct, ensure mechanical chime compatible and diode installed if needed, check wiring. Alternative is to use Ring Chime plug in accessory or Alexa devices to announce doorbell inside house if mechanical chime does not work.
