In FaceTime calls, other person's audio cuts when mine is sending (when I'm talking)...

I seem to remember a time when this wasn't the case... Maybe I'm misremembering?
In a FaceTime call, when I'm in the middle of speaking and the other side speaks, they can't be heard until I stop speaking.
I.e. Audio only goes one way at a time it seems.
This is extremely problematic in slightly noisy areas where there's some background traffic where I am having to mute my end everytime I finish saying something just so I can hear the other person at all.
Bandwidth is not an issue, and it
Am I crazy, or didn't it used to allow me to use the headphones as well as the microphone at the same time?

I have the exact same issue... I've been using a Jabra Extreme2 and just this weekend, bought a Plantronics Marque2 and today had the same issue, so it's clearly not the headset but the phone or OS.
I might try a restore and see if it helps...

I have recently upgraded to iPhone 5 from 4, call line identity doesn't work when call other iPhones. It works when calling any other brand of cell phone. Network carrier assures me problem is not on there side. Any assistance will be appreciated.

WHEN USING FACETIME, THE OTHER PERSON CAN SEE AND HEAR ME BUT I CANT HEAR THEM AND THEIR VIDEO IS A STILL PICTURES.. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ANSWERS???

When using Facetime.. the other person can see and hear me, but I can't hear or see them.. Does anyone have any solutions?? The only thing I can see is a still picture of them

Hi mduggan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the other person can't see you during a FaceTime call, first use the Camera app on the iPhone to make sure the camera is working properly. If you don't see an image when using the Camera app, try these troubleshooting steps first:
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
You can find these steps and more information here:

If the camera is working normally, next troubleshoot FaceTime using the steps in this article:

While on facetime the other person can tell when you are getting txt, any way to stop this?

On facetime other person kept asking whos texting you??

Alternately, just pay attention to the person your on Facetime with and wait to text until your done. Then, both people get you full attention and no one gets jealous.

HT204380 Why does it say the other person is not available when they are. My kid can call me but I can't call them..

I have an iPad 4 and they have an iPod 5 th generation. We have a wifi in the house. Getting ready to go away and want to make sure it works..

If more than 1 device is using the same Apple ID this issue can happen using FaceTime.

Audio Cuts when recording is enable. (Quality Manager)

Hi
I have deployed a recording QM solution (QM 8.5.2(SR2), CCX 8.5.1(SR4), CUCM 9.1) and I have a critical issue about the quality of the calls.
I'm using a Network Recording using Built in Bridge phone feature.
When a caller call to the agent and the recording is enable, the audio from agent to caller has a lot of cuts. Most than 50% time.
When the call is no recorded works fine.
Any idea?
Thank you
Best regards

Fix it.
It was g722 and iBLC codec. They were activated in service parameters. Just desactivated them and reset the phones.
I hope it helps.
Best Regards

HT204380 How come when I make a call on Facetime the other person can't see me?+ but I can see them?

My guess is one of the two of you has less than a robust, good, fast WiFi connection.

My girls were yelled at when FaceTime called wrong person

Face Time called someone else... Idk how or what happened.. I(mommy) uwas at work and getting ready to go home when my girls facetimed me.. I told them I was driving home so i'll see them soon, of course being 7 n 6, they facetimed me three more times waiting til I answered said love you and hung up.. Whatever.. So I see it ring once and then stop.. Ok??? So I try them and dad picks up screaming at me because some jerk just threatened them for accidentally getting the wrong person.. They are in tears, super upset.. Where's mom? Why can't our call go thru to mom? Who is this mean guy? And as freaked out as they were, I feel awful.. Dad tried face timing my number from his other ipad and it went to the guy.. And he yelled at him, asking if he realized he just threatened two little girls, who thought the cops were gonna really come and arrest them. :-(
so any suggestions on what else I can do to try to prevent this from happening again??
Obviously going through all accounts to double check they have the right info, explaining to the girls what happened, but can't obviously do anything about the jerk, so .. What now? :-(

Call: other person tells me the volmue is very low

Is there a way to control the volume that the phone sends to the other end?

Also check that in Call settings - Microphone noise suppression is unticked

My ipod touch 4g's microphone isn't working. When I facetime the other person can't hear me. If I put headphones with a microphone on it then it works. Help?

Help? It doesn't seem to be working.

does it work with voice memos? If it only doesnt work with FaceTime then you should press the lower left button and maybe that will work...

When using Facetime on my iPod touch, I cannot hear the other person. Help!, When using Facetime on my iPod touch, I cannot hear the other person. Help!

No, the mute button isn't on. Yes, I've shut down and rebooted and did a backup/sync as well.

Hi, I have an iPod and my cousin has a MacBook Pro, but whenever we try to FaceTime each other, it doesn't work. Plus, we don't know what to put besides our names in our contacts. What do I put for his contact number?

How can I FaceTime him without getting, "This person is not availible?

Settings > FaceTime. Be sure you have an Apple ID on file, and you should also see a header that says "You can be reached for video calls at:" where you can add an email address. The email address that is entered here is the email address you should use to FaceTime the other person.
