CAN'T HEAR OTHERS OVER ICHAT BUT THEY CAN HEAR ME

I am unable to hear others over my bonjour ichat network. They can hear me fine - but I can't hear them. I have ny audio sticks selected for my sound output - but I've also tried with my built-in speakers and still nothing.

Hi Llakel,
It sounds like (forgive the pun) that they have not selected the Mic in either Sytsem Preferences > Sound > imput tab (or not adjutsed the volume high enough here).
Or they have not selected the Mic in iChat > Preferences > Video section > Microphone Drop Down. (It has to be the same mic as the above selection).
There is also the chance they have go the Micorphone disabled in the Video (or Audio menu) to the right of Buddies. It needs to show a tick next to it.
If you are not hearing 5 other people but they can hear you and each other it sounds more like a Port issue either in the routing device or your Mac Firewall if it is On.
If the Mac firewall is On you have to add port 5353 as a New item to the firewall settings
System Preference > Sharing > Firewall Tab.
Select the NEW button.
Select "Other" from the top box/drop down of the pop out
Add port 5353 as a UDP line
Give the entry a name in the description field.
Add entry
Make sure it is ticked before exiting the Firewall.
(Also check the Advanced button has not "Blocked ALL UDP Traffic")

  • In my viber, Ican hear the other persons voice but they cant hear my voice! please help! emmergency!!

    pls it has been going on for some days! the caller cant hear my voice but I can hear thrm! how can I make my sound correct

    I too have major problems with Viber, the caller can hear my voice but I can't hear anything. Viber can ring, but I can't hear anything when I pick up. And If I make the call, there is no ringing shound either. If the other party picks up, it is absolute silence on my end but they can hear me.
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing, doing this over itunes, wifi and 3G. Tired using another iphone 5 with the same failures. Used another sim card and also the same result.
    Software is all up to date. The iphone software is 6.1.3 and viber is 2.3.1.
    I am at a total loss to understand or think of further solutions.  Could someone please offer some assistance?? this has been going on for a week now.
    Thanks.

  • HT201412 All sounds are mute tho mute is not on. Keystroke sounds and other phone sounds but they ring tones and notifications are still working period I have tried turning the phone off and on please help

    All the keystrokes sounds in different sounds that go with the phone have stopped working do you know how to make them go again? The ring tones and notifications down this still work but not that keystrokes are other in phone sounds. Is there something I can do other than turn the phone off and on to restore them?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
    If the basic troubleshooting steps don't work, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and probable replacement.

  • HT1386 my contacts won´t sync, it says that calendars and contacts will be synced over iclouds, but it isn´t. I can´t get my contacts on my iphone

    My contacts won´t sync to the iphone. In itunes there is not even a check I can make to the contacts for syncing it says they should sync over icloud, but they won´t

    Are you syncing your Mac Address Book contacts over the air with your iCloud account which is selected with your iCloud account settings on your Mac? You need to do that first followed by logging in with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser to confirm your Mac Address Book contacts are available in your iCloud online address book.

  • Can you hear other people, but they can't hear you? Here's how I fixed it.

    If you're having the same problem I did where you could hear other people on a call, but they couldn't hear you and your microphone worked fine for everything else then you are in the same boat I was.
    After a week of trying to fix it, a friend and myself have our phones working correctly again and my phone has been working fine for the past 3 days now.
    To fix the problem, we re-downloaded the 4.2.1 file outside of iTunes and did a restore on the phone. (We both restored from a backup and it still worked). You can find the specific file download links on the 4th post on this page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052794&page=5 or through apple's support downloads page. Once downloaded, double click the file to open it (iTunes should open) and plug your phone in then do a restore. We both did ours from a backup and it still worked fine, the thing that has to be reinstalled is the update, which is what the restore will do.
    It took my friend three tries of downloading until his worked, but for me it worked on the first try.
    Good luck to anyone who also had this problem!

    Good news! I believe I have fixed my phone!!
    A friend of mine was having the same problem that I was having where you could hear other people but they couldn't hear you.
    We fixed the problem by redownloading the 4.2.1 update. 4th post down on this page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052794&page=5 is a list of links to the update files. I downloaded the one for my phone and did a restore (from a backup) after downloading the file and double clicking it so iTunes opens. Since I've done this my phone has been working perfectly again!
    It might take you a few tries, it took my friend 3 tries until his worked right and it worked for me on the first try. I'm guessing something was screwing up during the download.

  • When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic, I use the voice recorder all the time and I have no problems w FaceTime. My headphones and Bluetooth do the same thing as far as not being able to be hea

    When I make a call, I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. It's not the mic bc face time or voice recorder are not affected. I can't even use my headphones or Bluetooth to get around the problem. This has stumped 2 geniuses, they just try to swap it out for $150.

    I am having the same issue with my iPhone 4. I can hear everyone but they can't hear me. Visited Apple Store and they said speakers were out, both bottom mic and top one for speaker phone. Said they were busted. Reloaded all software and didn't work. Got in parking lot and worked for 1 call. Now it's out again. Wanted $150 for new phone, haven't done it yet. don't know what to do.

  • I connect my iphone5s to my 2015 Terrain using Bluetooth, when I make a call I can hear the caller but they can't hear me. Anyone else have this problem? How did you resolve it? Other phones connect and work perfectly.

    NNeed help I connect my iPhone 5s to Bluetooth in my 2015 GMC Terrain. When I make a call i can hear them but they can't hear me. Anyone else have this issue? How did you resolve it. Other phones work fine, just not my phone.

    Hello Sandylynn,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can connect the device with Bluetooth and make and receive calls but they dont hear you. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • When I connect via face time with my friend's ipad or iphone we can see each other and I can hear them but they can't hear me.  HELP!

    When I connect from my mac via facetime with my friend's iphone or ipad we can see each other and I can hear them but they can't hear me.  The mute is not applied, and the microphone seems to work with other applications.  Help!

    I have same issue in my MB Air with Snow Leopard.   It used to work fine but one day I found that the mic mute was locked on.   I went to System and ensured mic was working by seeing the bars move.   I went to Facetime > Video drop down and it is all greyed out so not active and the mic symbol in Facetime pane has a line through it (muted) and is dead.    I have tried everythinng to UNmute the mic.   Two way video is fine and I can hear the other party perfectly.    Seems like this happened about the time of a Snow Leopard update but may be wrong.    Issue is several months old and, well, getting old!    I love Facetime with my grandkids etc. who all use Apple stuff.    There HAS to be a way to reactivate the mic in my MB Air.    Could someone please help??

  • When I make a call I can hear the other person but they can't hear me?  Tried everything.

    When I make a call, I can hear the other person but they can't hear me?  Tried everything.  Took it to the local ATT store and all they could tell me is it shouldn't be happening and to take it to an apple store?  Any ideas?

    Try to isolate the issue. Use earphone and if the issue still happens then it might be the phone issue.
    - If earphone works fine then it may be the mic on the iPhone. Try cleaning the debris on the iPhone. Finally a restore of the device and try to set it as a new device. Tha will isolate if it is a software or hardware issue.
    - You can take the phone to Apple store once you have tried all this.

  • I can't hear other people but they can hear me - skype issue

    I was using skype on my mac and i closed the mac lid itself before opening it again, and when i joined the group call again, i couldnt hear anything but they could hear me. i restarted skype, restarted my computer, checked my audio, did the echo test, nothing. I even logged onto a windows computer and still nothing, so it must be something wrong with skype itself, but i cant find anything on it.i can hear notifications, see them, but i cant hear the ringing for the group call or their voices at all, with or without earphones.help?

    try resetting the phone- press the home and lock button together until the apple logo appears. or go to the apple store it seems like a software issue

    If you need to use the phone now, try using speaker phone until you can take it to an Apple store and have them further look into the problem.
