Microphone stop working during calls.

Hi to everyone,
i have a problem with my iPhone 4 iOS 4.1 received on 28th September from the Apple Online Store.
When i call or when i am called, in the middle of the call (after about 2-3 minutes), my microphone stop working: so i can hear others but they can't hear me.
This happens usually when my phone switch from 3G to EDGE (3G -> °). In other apps the microphone works well.
Is this a software bug? Or is my iPhone faulty?
I looked in the forum but unlucky i didn't find a real help, because none seems to know what is the nature of this issue (i know other guys have a problem like mine).
Thanks a lot,
Mattia.

The same thing is happening to me and most of the time I don't even get 2-3 minutes into the call before it happens.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but it only started happening once I updated to the new OS 4.2

After upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!!

after upgrading to IOS8.1 my microphone stopped working. cannot make a call, cannot record a voice memo, but Siri works !!! Surely this must be software since I presume there are not two microphones, one for Siri and one for everything else. Tried resetting, rebooting, switching off noise cancelling. What else is there?

Tab S8-50L microphone stopped working

Hello,
I recently bought this tablet and the mic was working (recorded a test video with sound). Now the sound is not recorded, neither when using sound recorder nor video recorder nor even Serviceit (Lenovo diagnostics app).
Already tried the following solution:
Settings -> Language & Input -> Voice Search -> Bluetooth headset [TICK]
Unfortunately it didn't work, still nothing gets recorded.
I would like to believe this is a softfare problem, because my tablet didn't fall or get wet...

I think that I figured out my problem, hopefully this will help others if you are encountering a problem with your internal microphone stopping working.
I changed:
FROM: Stereo Mix, Realtek High Definition Audio working (checked/default) -- unchecked now...
TO: Microphone, Realtex High Definition Audio working (checked/default) and it works fine now.

USB Microphone stopped working in 10.6.2

I have a CyberAcoustic headset that worked perfectly in 10.5 but since I upgraded to 10.6.2, the microphone stopped working (sound output to headphones still works perfectly). I checked the System Preferences Audio panel, the "USB Device" (which is my headset) is selected for input and the level is set to max. I tried it on three different machines, two of which were running 10.6.2 and one 10.5.7 and got the same result - 10.5.7 works perfectly while 10.6.2 doesn't. Are there any recommendations as to how to troubleshoot it and figure out what could be wrong? My uneducated guess would be that there's some device ID is missing in plist but I'm not sure about which one.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
JD

Hi JavaDuke & welcome to the forums...
Sorry if I missed it - did you run 'Audio MIDI Setup' (/Applications/Utilities) and see if settings there mesh with your current configuration expectations, etc....

Integrated microphone stopped working suddenly on my HP i-7 DV6! I tried everything!

Hi guys! Thanks to anyone seeing this. My laptop's integrated microphone stopped working suddenly. I have daily skype meetings and it worked perfectly fine but today it suddenly didn't work. I didn't make any significant changes before that.
I tried uninstalling and installing the drivers from the website but when I uninstalled, the new drivers said that a device is missing. I cannot paste the error message exactly how is written for you because it is in greek. but the translation is that a device part is missing or something.
after that I've done a system restore went back 4 days and I have now my drivers back but the microphone still isn't working.
I figured out that if i plug my apple headphones i can hear audio but it doesnt detect my recording. (i dont know if it's supposed to anyway!
Thanks in advance to anyone that might have a solution!

Thank you for this. You are amazing for trying to help me. I kept on not being able to find the solution for 2 days and no voice application worked until yesterday evening. I logged into an online shop and bought a headset costing £10. As long as I entered my details and pressed PAY, my girlfriend called me on skype and voila, she could hear me. I think there might be something wrong with the insides of my laptop! Might be a significant amount of dust and dirt.
Thank you very much again. If this happens again I will read this post again carefully and get back to you.

Internal microphone stopped working today - Pavilion G7 - C2M31UA#ABA / Windows 8

Hey there
I am using Skype quite often, but today my internal microphone stopped working. I restarted Skype, my laptop and I also followed all steps of you trouble shooting page. No change ...
Any ideas?
Thanks
Bettina
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Enter your device manager.
Can be found by pressing windowskey + x.
Press Sound, video and game controllers.
And right click and remove the one called Realtek high definition (should be something like that).
Reboot the computer, this should make it reinstalll the driver på itself.
If this doesn't work, search for the program called recovery manager. In here you pick the one furthest to the left, called something with reinstall driver. Here you find the one called IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver check it, and press install.
Since it used to work, and you dont have windows 8.1. If this still doesn't fix it, it must be some setting regarding your microphone. So try right clicking your speaker icon down in the right corner, when in desktop mode and pick recording units (translating directly from danish). Please let me know what you see in here.
Best regards
ThaCrash
Troubleshooting Steps:
1. Reinstall Adobe Reader.
2. Turn it off and on.
3. Press Kudos star.

Built in microphone stopped working

Hi,
I have a NW8440 notebook running XP Professional Service Pack 2 with SoundMax Integrated Digital HD Audio.
I have used both the built-in microphone as well as a headset with microphone plugged into the headset and microphone jacks for several months, both with Skype and with recording software. Within the last week, both microphones stopped working with no error messages. Speaking into the microphone in Sound Recorder shows no change in the recording level, and playing back the recording only plays random noise. Playback of saved files or internet downloads still works fine.
I tried updating the SoundMax driver to the 10/1/2007 5.10.1.5210 version on the HP website with no effect.
One thing I'm wondering about is that several websites I've seen indicate that both the playback and recording dialogs of the Volume Control should show a column for microphone. In my case, however, microphone only appears as an option on the recording dialog, and when I click Options | Properties to click the checkbox to add it to the playback dialog, I find that microphone is not one of the listed choices there either.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Ricky,
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

ITunes Helper Module has stopped working

I just downloaded the new version of iTunes and now iTunes and Quicktime wont open at all. When I click on iTunes or when I first turn the computer on, a window pops up that says the iTunes Helper module has stopped working. Then another window pops up right after that says "iTunes has stopped working". It checks for a solution to the problem and then says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." When I try to open QuickTime, it says "Runtime error! Program:C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QuickTime Player.exe This application has requested the RunTime to terminate it in an unusual way." I have Vista which seems to cause problems with the firewall and iTuens, so I turned off the firewall from my security software, switched on the windows firewall, and made sure the settings were right. I even tried doing a System restore to the previous version (same problems) and then tried reinstalling the new version (Still same problems). Anyone have any suggestions?!?!

hey stess,
I have the exact problem you have. I tried deleting (went into program files and deleted the folders ) from my system and reinstalling it. It worked until i rebooted my system, I am still on xp. The restore doesnt help either. It cant be my ipod ( its quiet old!) as it isnt even connected to my system at start up. I think maybe a bug with the new version that will eventually have more and more users affected when they update. I f i find a solution I will post asap... good luck

TS2634 My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone is set/settings/sound. It used to ring. I think it has to do with updating to IOS 7.0.4? After updating IOS 7.0.3 my microphone stopped working. Had to clear/reload.

My iPhone 4s does not ring for incoming calls. Ring tone set and used to ring. I think it has something to do with updating the IOS 7.0.4. When I updated to 7.0.3 the microphone stopped working. Had to call Apple Support and cleared phone and reloaded. ($57 charge). Any suggestions?

Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion. There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field. if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it. If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.
