I have sound, other end only static

Using iChat via AIM on G4 iBook. I can see and hear fine. The person on the other end can see me, but reports hearing only static. She has cable DSL, so it's not a bandwidth issue on her side, I don't think.
Any thoughts, or, alternatively, anyone willing to try to help me troubleshoot the issue?
Thanks.

Hi Steve,
Go to System Preferences > Sound > Input tab
Is the iSight you have selected here ?
Is the volume adjusted for a response to halfway up th e scale at least.
Go to iChat > Preferences > video Section > Microphone drop Down
Is the same Mic selected here ?
Can you see a green response bar here when you talk ?
In iChat go to the View Menu.
Are the Show Status items for Audio and Video selected (tick) ?
In iChat go to the menu to the right of Buddies (Can be Video or Audio).
Is the Enabled Microphone Item selected (ticked)
(and the Camera Enabled ?)
Next you should start a chat.
your Buddy should open the Connection Doctor from the Video(Audio) menu.
Do they see your incoming Audio as a green bar and a percentage ?
Report the findings.

Not all the sound docks accept both analogue and optical on the auxillary input - I don't think the portable ones does but may be wrong - check the user manual.
As I said earlier all the mini optical (min Toslink) adapter does it make the optical connector fit a smaller socket, it does not convert digital audio to analogue for an analogue only auxillary input.

I have the iPhone 4. and when I updated the software to iOS6 My notifications don't make a sound anymore, the only sound that I get are text messages, or Email. I checked to see if the other apps were muted and they weren't. How do I fix this??

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

I am using duel thunderbolt displays with a MacBook Pro. I only have the option to have sound come from one or the other. Has anyone thought of making the left channel come from both speakers on the left Monitor and the same of the right? If yes, how is that done? The MacBook Pro could even be a center channel if configured in that order.

See the following thread on the same topic:
2 Thunderbolt displays MBP = sound coming from both displays?

Why can i rotate screen and have sound at the same time. Why is only option one or the other

why cant i rotate and have sound at the sametime? why does it have to be one or the other.

Do you really think it's not possible to do both and set them up the way that you want them to be set up? You just don't understand how the process works.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice.

In my first iPhone 5, the speaker didn't work and people could not hear me on Speaker phone when I used it. When I used the video recording it did not record sound at all only a hissing/static sound, no voice. I wished for a software fix. I did a hard reset, nothing. I did a full restore to factory settings not putting my backup on and the problem persisted.

I did every step in the link that i have been provided with (thank you), but I’m
still experiencing the same issue. My experience with Apple has been
excellent and this has been the first time I have experienced something
like this with an Apple product. I hope we can find a quick solution.
In order to get the iPhone 5 as soon as it launched (being a major fan of
Apple products!), I purchased my iPhone 5 from the UK through a friend of
mine who lives there.
My question is: can I have the faulty device replaced within Saudi by one
of the official resellers here (we have 3: STC, Mobily and Zain)? I want to
avoid the disruption, complication and expense of sending it back to the
UK.
Could you advise whether this is possible or not, and if not how should I
go about having the device replaced?
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Nice try! Take a hike.

When making a phone call, the other end of the line hears a strange dial up sounding noise. Its loud and quite annoying. What do i do?!

Loud screechy noises are heard on the other end of the line when my iphone 4s is in a phone call. It has to be my phone because multiple people and myself have confirmed hearing it. Its sounds like dial-up. BUT REALLY LOUD!

I just replied to a similar post and I'll copy and paste my response here. I was having the same exact issue. Here is my possible fix.
Yesterday I updated the OS to the latest release. Then right after that I called AT&T and they reset my sim card. Or something like that. They did some sort of reset.
I then got in my car and drove around to test the phone. Because that is when the problem is worse. FINALLY they claim to be able to hear me clearly!!!!
I think it was the combination of both the OS update and the sim card reset that fixed it. Hopefully..... It has only been one day but so far so good. I'll update this post if things change.
Try this and let us know if this works for you.

My iPhone 4 microphone that handles standard voice/sound cannot pick-up sound unless the speakerphone, or a headset is used to make/receive calls the other end caller cannot hear me. Any Suggestions? This seems to be common on forums.

Same issue on my wife's iPhone 4S. I suspect it is related to the recent 6.1.2 iOS update (Note: I have a 3S and the update did not cause any issues).
I've tested both bottom and top mics on the 4S using video recorder and both mics work fine. Speakerphone and headset during calls also work fine. The issue is only related to the bottom mic while making calls. I can hear the caller but the caller cannot hear me. If I hold the mic very close to my mouth, the caller can hear a very low level signal.
The problem appears to be software related, not hardware.

The callers on the other end say it sounds like im whispering

The callers on the other end say it sounds like im whispering is there any way to turn the voice intake up ??

My Pre speaker has also stopped working, now for the second time. The first time was within a week of getting the phone & Sprint replaced the phone, now it's happened again. Sprint wants to replace the phone again, but I really don't want to go through the hassle of re-downloading apps & uploading contacts.
I've gone through the troubleshooting steps & have noticed that it's more than just the phone speaker. Pandora will only play over my stereo headphones or bluetooth headset (speaker phone isn't available?).
It seems like this should be a quick fix, so any ideas would be great!

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

I have Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones. I am unable to insert the male end all the way into the IPAD3. I do have sound in the headphones, however. Is this common for most headsets on the IPAD3?

No, it's not common for any of the headphonse I've plugged into my iPad, but that doesn't mean it isn't normal for this particular set of headphones and iPad. That said, are you sure you've pushed the plug in all the way? I have found that on my New iPad, the headphone plug requires more effort to connect the plug than on my previous iPad 2. If they sound fine, I guess I wouldn't be concerned. If they don't sound good, it could be an issue.

Rt cnbc has no sound, while other videos have sound. Suggestions?

Rt cnbc has no sound, while other videos have sound. Suggestions?

Are the videos that still have sound those in the Videos app, or a different app ? If Videos app then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Why do I have sound only in one headphone, stereo and docking station?

Why do I have sound only coming out of one side of headphone, car, stereo and docking station when playing itunes?

Try cleaning out the headphone jack with a cotton swab.

High pitched static on other end is a software bug that needs to be fixed immediately

Every once in a while, the callers on the other line start hearing nothing but a high pitched static from me. I have no idea when it happens or what causes it. I can hear the other person just fine but they cannot hear me at all. I find out when the other person keeps saying hello and eventually hangs up. Once it happens, it happens on every call after that.
The only thing that fixes it is restarting the phone which is extremely annoying. This is most definitely a software bug and has nothing to do with whether you have good signal or if you use a case or not.
I tested this with by calling my wife's phone when she was with me after the glitch happened.
1) I had no case on the phone.
2) I was getting a perfect signal (also perfect 4g)
3) Switching to loudspeaker did nothing.
4) Turning noise reduction on or off did nothing.
5) muting and unmuting did nothing (except when muted there was obviously no static, but it came back upon unmuting)
6) Turning wifi on or off did nothing
7) Turning bluetooth on or off did nothing
Answering an important call and hearing "hello, hello, hello and click" is the most annoying thing ever. Because then I have to restart my phone which takes quite a while and the other person is repeatedly calling me in the meantime.
This needs to be fixed immediately. After all, this device is a phone first. All those smart functions come second. If I can't make or receive calls properly this device has to go.

Oh no! This definitely can be annoying!!
We have had others with the Droid Charge call/write in with the same issue. Replacing the phone didn't resolve which also leads me to believe it is a software glitch.
First, make sure you do have the most recent sofware version vy going to:
Settings>About Phone>System Updates>Check New You should currently have i510EE4
We have let Samsung know that there is an issue with some of the Droid Charge's having a high pitched noise.
At this time, they are looking into it in order to provide a resolution.
