I need Electric Help... Any electricians out there?

The live from the transformer is attached to one side of the bell only (and not the buzzer), the other end from the bell gets attached to the buzzer along with the other neutral wire from the transformer. The circuit is complete when the button is pressed. Simple stuff

You have a bell and buzzer? Now I am lost.

Lol, see update

ETA
Let's try this again

From the transformer the live gets attached to to the 1st wire from the button, the neutral gets attached to one end of the buzzer. The 2nd  wire from the button gets attached to the 2nd side of the buzzer

So how are you getting 10v across the two wires, B/C? This is where I get confused.
From the transformer the live gets attached to to the 1st wire from the button = A
the neutral gets attached to one end of the buzzer = B
The 2nd  wire from the button gets attached to the 2nd side of the buzzer = C

How are you getting 10v at the two wires at the buzzer without pushing the doorbell? Or was this measured some other way?

It comes in at 10v AC, does that make sense?

The connection between the transformer and button is at the buzzer (can be seen in the OP picture covered in tape)

They are only using two wire runs instead of 3

Oy!

The buzzer arrived. I went and put on the two wires to test it and everything worked beautifully, after closing everything up bam it stops working. I can't figure what's wrong, it seems with the bell disconnected there is continuity between the two contacts somehow.

Tape the wires up well to ensure the conductors do not contact each other or the metal housing of the buzzer.

I took down the buzzer, no wires connected and there's continuity between the two contacts

There should be continuity between the two contacts of the buzzer, with the resistance of the coil of wire it contains. My concern was that when you pushed the buzzer against the wall to mount it, wires may have made contact where they shouldn't have, for example the two wires from the transformer touching each other, either directly or through the metal housing of the buzzer.

My mistake, I just looked up how these buzzeres work, there's continuity unless the dong hits the bell then it looses continuity.
I tested it with DC and the bell works, the only think I can think the problem is here is there's some sort of continuity between the two wires coming from the transformer. I tested with the multimeter it gets some numbers and not a real beep, I believe it was like that originally though and it was working originally.

I'm also trying to understand how the buzzer is supposed to work with AC and DC

If it's indeed the two wires touching wouldn't it short?

recently moved into a rented house, and there is not much smoke/co alarms in. (maybe 1 or 2) but I want more. however I want to buy ones that talk to each other, but....I don't want to have them hardwired in. so is there a combo co/smoke alarm that would work on battery power/or outlet but at the same time if one would get tripped from smoke/co then all of them would ring? like on bluetooth or some other connection?  thanks for your help

I have one of these on each floor: https://www.firstalert.com/us/en/products/alarms/combo-smoke-carbon-monoxide-alarms/sco501cn-3st-wireless-interconnected-combo-smoke-co-alarm-w-voice-alerts-sco501cn-3st/

seems like these are only for smoke alarm? or am i reading it incorrectly? i prefer a combo

Randomish question but why would someone want the interconnected detectors? I've had them forced upon me but wouldn't install them of my own volition. What's the advantage supposed to be, hearing false alarms amplified by 10 speakers at once? In a genuine emergency is there a big advantage to these? They'd only add value in a room where neither the smoke nor the sound from another room was noticeable

When you sleep, you don't want to wait till it's too late rl, detectors aren't supposed to be installed directly over your stove, i don't remember the last time we had a false alarm

Nearly every house has that scenario you mention in the last sentence. I won't necessarily hear the alarm in my basement when I'm on my second floor (especially if the basement door is closed). Beyond that, in a false alarm, you can silence them all from any alarm, not just the one that was triggered. And my units are have voice/location. That means it says [fire/carbon monxide] in [kitchen/basement/upstairs]. I had a dryer fire a few years ago. My wife had food on the stovetop /oven and wouldn't necessarily have reacted with as much urgency if it hadn't said fire in basement, because she would've thought it was from something in the kitchen.
