What does not

Sometimes voice calls don't work because of the microphone.

Would not play media files, either video or audio because they wouldn't download. 

Cannot open an mp3 file because no program found to open it.

Could not add emoticons except KakaoFriends Classic emoticons. Basic emoticons would not find their way into a chat. 

Error was: fixme:richedit:draw_ole Couldn't get storage medium

Does not show Hangul fonts when setting Chat Room Settings. 

Chat Backup runs to 99% and then hangs.

Problems with backup and downloading files seems to be caused by KakaoTalk not having permission to write to a windows folder.




Workarounds

  1. For voice calls check PA Volume control and set the microphone input as default if there is no microphone audio.
  2. For emoticons that don't directly load into a chat, check whether they found their way to the recents tab. If so they will load into a chat from there.
  3. If fonts don't show up when setting chatroom settings then make sure the font being used is a truetype font. This can be checked and set in the Settings/Display panel.

Will install under wine 7.0, can register device, but can't login due to recv socket error.

Fixed in Wine 7.2; if enough people consider this fix as critical, we can propose backporting to stable Wine 7.0.x.

- The issue: Korean characters are not inserted as expected by ibus-hangul.
This is a well-known issue and you can easily search about this on the web.
I had the same issue, but hamonikr.org/used_hamonikr/82280 has solved my problem.
