If people cannot hear me when on FaceTime, is it my IMac microphone?

All of a sudden when I am on Skype or on FaceTime from my IMac, people cannot hear my voice.  I attempted to look at my audio settings.  Then, realized that I have audio when downstreaming a movie, or playing Itunes.
Is that an indication that my microphone has failed??

When you see the same issue on more than one hardware device, it means that the problem is likely to exist outside of the hardware.  Two things to investigate would be the software/firmware on the backup and issues with the cellular network.  It's probably safe to rule out the cellular network as well.
First, make sure that you have imported copies of all the information (pictures, videos, documents) on the device.  Do this thorough itunes, and the applications (photographic and document processing) on your computer.  Perform a firmware update then restore the device as new.  If the problem persists, then you may actually have the worst luck and discovered two devices with an identical issue.
Read each of the steps before initiating the DFU.
!.  Connect the iPhone to any computer running a fully updated version of iTunes.
2. Press and hold both "home" and "sleep/wake" buttons
3. After eight seconds let go of only the sleep/wake button.
4. Keep holding the home button until you see a popup mesage in iTunes.
5. Read all all the popups, then use iTunes to update the iPhone's software.
If the popup fails to show, repeat steps 2 through 4

    At times people cannot hear me when I call.  Is there a setting I should check?

    Having the same issue with iphone 4s, I can call another iphone, a landline another cell phone and I cannot hear the person and they cannot hear me unless I toggle the spearker button on the iphone... just got apple to exchange for a new 4s and there is no difference, I am still having the issue, on top of that, Apple store even, though the girl experienced the issue with me in the store, told me they could not verify the problem and then noted on my account it was an unverified problem exchange when they changed my phone.  I have yet to book another appointment since the people at the apple store made me feel like I was lying.  yet I see over the net a lot of other people are having the issue, and as I was walking out of the store I over heard another man explaining the same issue to another apple employee...............

  • TS1630 people cannot hear me when they call me in my iphone, what is wrong? it's either I need to keep tapping the phone or they will not hear me

    I am having difficulty with Iphone4.  For two weeks now, when people call me or I call them, there are times that they cannot hear me.  At times I need to tap the phone and it will work but most of the time it does not.  What is the problem?  Is this a major problem?

    Hello arendss1,
         Thank you for sharing your audio concern with your iPhone 4S! As your wireless provider, we want to make sure that you are able to get the maximum usage out of your device! I would like to partner with you so we can get this issue resolved once and for all! May I ask is there any physical or liquid damage on the device? Also, what software version do you have on the phone? Below are some steps to try to resolve the audio issues.
    Turn off bluetooth and wifi in the Settings Menu.
    Verify that the headset jack is clean.
    Adjust the volume from the Settings menu. (Settings > Sounds > Ringer and Alerts)
    Confirm that "Change with Buttons" is on.
    Perform a soft reset by pressing & holding the home key & the sleep/wake key for 10 seconds.
          Once you have tried these steps then please retest to see if the audio has returned to the device. I would also like to suggest test the device on speaker phone and with a wired earpiece as well. If the issue persist then please advise of any changes as all new information may prove to be beneficial in achieving a resolution.
    Thank you...

  • Ipone 4 people cannot hear me when i make calls.

    I synced my iPhone 4 and now people can not hear me when I make callow. Tried.connecting Bluetooth and same issue.
    I tried presenting and this did not fix either.  Please help.

    Hello TbOne,
    I highly doubt this Issue has anything to do with your recent syncing to your computer, it is a common fault that is becoming more and more predominate globally as time goes by.
    You merely thought back to the last interaction you had with your phone and connected it to your current Issue.
    May i ask if you can record a Video or use skype and see if you can hear sound, if indeed you can hear sound then your Phone is faulty and if you haven't a permanent loss of functionality of the microphone for voice calls there soon will be.
    My Advise would be to first see if the sound works when recording videos.

  • People cannot hear me when talking to them

    Recently, my 8900 has been acting up and whenever I talk to people, after a few minutes they can no longer hear me. It happens randomly but often and often I have to call them back later on. If someone would be kind enough to help me sort this out it would be much appreciated. 
    Thank you.

    You can also try taking the battery out of your Mobile phone(while its still on) and putting it back in. Then turning your car on and then off again.
    We have found that to work with the Nokia 6120 and the Ck-100 carkits quite often.
    I'm not sure if it has been solved via a software update but it does happen sometimes to our customers.
    Worth a try before you buy a new mic and go to all the trouble replacing it.

  • People Cannot Hear Me When I make Calls on iPhone 4, Bought a new iPhone 4, uploaded all of my own information from the backup, and it still doesnt work, help!

    I went in to apple, they couldnt figure it out, I am on AT&T so I was figuring on going into their store today and seeing if its something with the network, if not I am going back to apple, but this is literally a brand new phone i bought yesterday, not refurbished or anything, brand new, does anyone know why this isnt working? Everything else works fine, the mics both work, its just when I make calls or someone calls me the mic doesnt work.

  • People cannot hear me when I am on skype, as you have disabled extension 5.3.0.7280

    I downloaded one of your updates and since then I have not been able to be heard when I am on skype, everything else works. You did send me a message saying - Skype extension 5.3.0.7280 has been disabled by Firefox as it was not compatible. Firefox will keep checking for compatible add ons. Nothing has happened and I am still having trouble with problem above, what can I do.

    Check the Skype website for an updated version of that extension.

  • People cannot hear me at the start of our call on the Iphone 4s?

    People cannot hear me at the start of our call on the Iphone 4s. What could be the problem? IOS? Home button? Lag when I swipe?
    ONLY when I am getting a call, I will swipe the home button and the awnser option will lag a little bit, therefore the caller cannot hear me right away. After saying "Hello" the second time, everything returns to normal. I have tried everything and I am not sure what the problem is? It cannot be hardware since Skype, Memo, Facetime, all work perfectly. Everyone on these threads has the problem from both sides, while I only have it when I receave calls. I have tried it with head-phones and it does not fix the problem. What can I do? Will it be fixed in the upcoming IOS?
    Although its a small problem that doesn't effect other parts of my phone, I would like to find someone who faces the same problem.
    Thanks

  • People cannot hear me properly, problem with speaker?

    I think there is a problem with my phone when I talk to people, they say I sound like I am far away I have to shout, or cup my hand to the bottom of the phone in order for someone to hear me.
    I have done, i have restarted my phone, removed the battery, checked the settings. Still people cannot hear me. It has only been seven months, I never had a problem with my old BB Bold.

    First, make sure your mic isn't full of pocket lint. It's right below the "k" in BlackBerry on the front of the device.
    Then go to the Help app. At the bottom go to Testing. You can do different diagnostic tests in there and one of them is the mic. Does the test pass for the mic?

  • On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when on calls using internet based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. Voice memos work too and have already tried different SIMs

    On my iPhone 4, people cant hear me when I make and / or receive normal (GSM) phone calls. But when I make/receive calls using internet-based / native apps like viber or skype, people can hear me just fine. I have tried recording my voice using voice memos - this works. And have already tried different SIM cards but the problem persists.
    I have taken my phone to an authorized Apple service center, where they restored my phone to factory settings, but still facing the same issue. They service center directed me to Apple Customer Care Hotline, where I have now spent 3+ hours explaining my issue and yet no one can resolve it. The easy answer if to replace the phone - and since it is out of warranty, I am expected to pay for it.
    Additionally, the customer service has been so rude and confrontational that it has completely changed my view of Apple and its customer focus. I am a disappointed and angry customer today - people would be surprised to hear just how rude customer service was including making statements such as "Apple doesnt make infallible products, that's why warranty is needed for our products" and that "every product undergoes a problem at some stage, so do ours!" There goes whatever confidence I had...
    My concern is simple - if no one at Apple and / or its CS hotline is able to address my issue comprhensively and keep telling me that they have never encountered a precedent before, then with what right can they expect me to pay for a replacement?! I am NOT here to fund Apple's research into their product faults and manufacturing.
    And even though a customer is out of warranty, is it too much to expect an Apple product to work well for at least a 'reasonable' period of time. My phone is less than 18 months old and has been facing this issue for the past 2 months - surely the longevity of Apple products is more than 18 months!
    Just a sad sad day for an Apple customer, compounded by unjustifiably rude and aggressive staff. And still no resolution to my problem.

    I am having the same issue - with my last 2 iPhone 4's. My first handset each time I was on a call wether it was up to my ear or on loud speaker, the call would automatically mute even though the mute button wouldn't show up as highlighted. Pressing the mute button on and off during the call doesn't fix it either. I rang Apple and asked what some of their trouble shooting solutions were. I got told that it might be a software issue and to install the latest software update. This failed. I then got told to uninstall the software on the phone and do a complete restore. This also failed. After trying the troubleshooting suggestions, I took the phone into my provider and they sent me out a new phone within a week under warranty claiming it was a hardware issue and probably just a "glitch" with that particular phone. This was not the case....
    After receiving my second iPhone 4, I was hopeful that it would work. For the first couple of days, making/receiving calls was not an issue. Until after about a week, the same problem started again. In one instance I had to hang up and call back 4 times and the call would still automatically mute after about 5 seconds. Also on the second handset, the main camera located on the back of the phone has red and blue lines running through it and can't take a decent picture. So back to the store I go to get another replacement - Again.
    For a phone that is rated highly and as a keen Apple product purchaser, I am a bit disappointed with the experience I have had with the iPhone 4. Let's hope they find a fix sometime soon because this is becoming a bit beyond a joke.....!!

  • I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me when I use the speaker function on my iPhone4.  Are there any fixes?

    I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me when I use the speaker function on my iPhone4.  Are there any fixes?

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

  • HT4972 People cannot hear me properly on my iPhone 4, although I can hear them very well. Would upgrading to iOS 5 perhaps sort this out, or any other software matter, or is it more likely to be a problem with the microphone?

    Still sounds like the mic to me. There are 2 on an iPhone 4 one on the top of the phone one under, each has a separate task. Sounds to me like your top mic is on the blink.

  • Callers cannot hear me when?  I can hear them.
