"I kept talking to you, but you didn't seem to be able to hear my voice for some reason or other" - this is good. "I continued to talking to you, however, you seemed unable to hear my voice for some reason or other" - this is a bit more natural than what you wrote. "I went on talking (to you), but didn't get any response from you" - since there needs to be some conjunction here. "I went on speaking(talking) to you, I couldn't get any response to me." - no, we generally refer to the source of a response (from you). So your previous sentence is correct (with a conjunction).
