Mic cutting out in SKYPE.

This is frustrating me to the point where I am making a forum post. I have had several mics in the past, all with the same problem. Currently using the logitech G930. When I talk in skype, my mic cuts out mid sentence, sometimes to the point where people can't understand me at all.
I know it is skype, because if i fraps a skype call and play it back (being windows sound is recorded, not skype), there is no cutting out; even though you can hear my friends clearly saying "You're cutting out, I can't hear you"
Please help me

I tried this (the same problem hapened to me and is happening)and the only tab in "microphone" is the general tab. If there is any other solution that you can give me then thank you.

Blue Snowball Mic cuts out/too quiet

I bought an excellent and professional microphone made by the company of BlueMics. The model I have is the "Snowball Aluminum". Apparently when I talk with a couple of friends my mic either cuts out, or is too quite. I boosted the mic fully on my Windows and Skype settings to the highest but all it doesn't really do anything. I can't tell if my friends are just f***ing with me that my mic is "cutting out" and "too quite". I'm not sure if it is my friends screwing with me because my mic seems to be quite good for other friends, or very clear when I am using Sony Vegas Pro for videos. Would I probably need one of those muffles over the mic or whatever they are called to center the sound waves from my voice to the mic, or a program that can boost the mic sensitivaty more. I tried moving the mic closer, it made it more clearer than where I had it before, but apprently it is "still to quite or cuts out". Help would be greatly appreciated.

You are very limited what you can do with USB audio/recording devices. You can try the device in another USB port. One that is directly on the computer vs. a hub as that can make a difference. If you have access to another PC run the tests yourself to another Skype account. That way you can rely on your own judgement and not your friend's. Other times audio issues can be due to the Internet connection/routers between the two of you. I had one of my contact's claiming I kept cutting out. Skype technical details stated my audio was being relayed. With my contact's permission I remoted into his computer and router and updated it to the latest firmware. After that I had a direct connection (not relayed) and the audio no longer cut out on my end for that contact. In some cases, ff your Mic volume is set too high/sensitive that may cause issues as well, so you might actually try lowering it to see if that make a difference.

USB Mic cutting out

Well, here's my problem. I play WoW (World of Warcraft) and my guild uses ventrilo (speex codec and it works fine). I use a plantronics usb headset which is great, but every once in a while my computer will lock up (sometimes just for 5 seconds, sometimes I'm forced to hold down the power button and restart). The problem, aside from the lockup, is that if it is just a temporary stall, all sound stops and my guildmates cannot hear me speak, but I can hear them. I've made sure the mic isn't muted, I've restarted ventrilo and nothing seems to work. The only thing that solves the issue is restarting my computer (I don't think I need to mention how inconvenient that is).
If anyone knows a way to fix this problem please let me know. I'm not sure what causes the freeze, but when it happens I stop all actions and restart. A faster solution would be so nice.

Mic randomly cuts out after internet upgrade?

Hello, i recently upgraded my net from adsl 2+ which was about 700 kilobits/second to cable which is 36 megabit/second. Before the upgrade my skype worked fine. After it got upgraded my mic cuts out randomly during 2 person calls and small group calls. It works in larger group calls fine but a few select people (about 3 i know of) cant host due this issue. Ive searched for about a month now for an answer.

I should also point out that the issue is specific to Mac OSX. This computer has a Windows XP partition. I just tested the issue on the Windows partition, both with screen saver and standby, and it was able to sustain its internet connection with no issues whatsoever. To clarify, multiple computers with Mac OSX have not had this problem, and this computer, using a different operating system, has not had this problem. The issue is totally isolated to this one specific machine, using one specific operating system.

Can anyone tell me if there is a solution to this.....since downloading the new 07 software on my iPad, Skype talks are always cutting out after a minute or so.

Since downloading the new software 07 onto my iPad, I have endless trouble with my Skype talks always cutting out after every few minutes or seconds of talking. Can anyone tell me if there is a solution to this? Many thanks

You are adventurous. Nothing wrong with your Mac. If I were you I would leave terminal and Console alone until you get familiar with your Mac. Even then unless you absolutely know what you are doing in Terminal you could end up with an expensive door stop. Play around with iPhoto, Safari Address Book, iCal. Read some Mac books from your local bookstore. Hang out at the forums. in short just have fun.

Q10 skype app cuts out after approx 60sec

Please can anyone help, going on trip and need to comunicate with my family
The following issue started after the latest bb update
The skype app seems to load each time to use and then cuts out after 60 seconds and I have to repeat the process.
thanks in advance

Hi,
Just to be precise - does it disconnect you from Skype only or from Xbox Live entirely?
Also - does this situation happen specifically when you use Skype or it also happens when you use some other Xbox One apps?

Microphone cuts out

My microphone on my G72-C55DX cuts out when I try to have a conversation with someone on skype. Also when I play back a recording it skips. I never had this problem before, but just recently it has been happening. I've only had my laptop for a few months, how can I fix this?

I do not have your exact computer model or sound driver, but I can tell you what I did that fixed my microphone issues almost instantly for my G780!
My microphone also cut out during voip calls (such as Skype, G+ hangouts, etc) but my audio when using any type of recording software was fine!
So apparently for my laptop, there was a bit of additional software that was installed called Smart Audio which is also by Coaxant.
If you have this program, this is probably what is causing all the sporadic quality changes.
What I did:
-Open Smart Audio (it's not actually an installed program, it is a setting so I just searched for it in the start menu)
-Go over to the VOIP tab on the bottom, and click on Voice Over IP to DISABLE the features.
-The icon for the setting should now be disabled, along with microphone noise reduction and acoustic echo cancellation.
These settings in smart audio were the ones making my microphone sound so horrible. As soon as I disabled it, people on the other side of the chat immediately noticed a dramatic increase in overall quality!
Hope this helps!

USB Microphone cuts out all sound

I'm using Logic Express 8, with an MXL condenser microphone. At first everything worked fine. I could hear all the audio.
But now, when I plug in the microphone, it cuts off all sound. The computer is receiving an audio signal. Under preferences, USB Audio Codec is chosen.
I created an aggregate devise, but that didn't work. I chose the new aggregate devise in audio preferences. No luck.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks,
Michael

Mic stops working when Skype installed

Skype on my netbook (Acer Aspire One 522) has worked flawlessly for over a year and after several system formats. By last time I format it all and reinstalled windows, the microphone stoped working just after installing Skype, not prior to it since I used for some testings.
It is not a hardware or driver issue since the microphone is working and the system and drivers are updated, but when I install Skype it doesn´t work even if the mic is detected.
I did a clean reinstall of Windows 7 and the mic worked again, then I installed Skype and it just doesn´t work afterwards, as if it were mutted (sound is at 100% and the mic is detected by skype and the system) but doesn´t work (not on Skype or any other program like the windows utility microphone).
Should I just reformat my netbook and not install Skype to have my mic working?!
Any clues? Thanks for your help.
Solved!

That literally does not make an sense. I would have a tendency to believe your mic or rather onboard mic cable is failing or you have an issue with the audio driver package you are installing. There may be a windows update that could possibly affect your audio. There is nothing in Skype that modifies how your system audio/mic works. If Skype is installed and not running in the background, it will have no affect on your mic whatsoever.
The only time I have had a condition similar to yours is when I put a load on my onboard webcam using Skype. The onboard mic/webcam would work intermittently; usually once a reboot. Once I replaced that internal USB (data audio/video) cable, the problem went away completely. Think of the concept of a frayed wire, it may work, but use it for extended periods of time, or pass more current through it and it fails.
Try an external 3.5mm jack mic. If it works when Skype is installed, that points to the internal mic yet again. You can try plugging it in an out and see how it switches back and forth between your onboard and external mic. In any case, you can also try newer Conexant audio drivers from Acer for the Aspire One E1-421. It uses similar hardware and it's drivers are about 1 year newer than the ones for your model.

FaceTime audio keeps cutting out after a few minutes

Every time I try to use FaceTime on my iPhone 4, the audio cuts out after 5-10 minutes or so.
Even after hanging up and calling back, there is still no audio. The picture is fine, but I can't hear anything the other party is saying. They apparently can hear me fine, so it appears to be something with the speaker. However, the speaker works fine in every other app.
I also tried using Skype, and it worked with no audio problems. So the issue is definitely isolated to FaceTime.
I do not have this problem with my iPad. It works fine. I tried showing this to a genius at the Apple store, but they can't do anything because the phone is no longer under warranty.
I tried wiping the phone clean, and setting it up as a brand new phone, and still have the same problem.
Any suggestions?

Hello
To get a better handle on the problem, connect at least one computer to the router using an Ethernet cable. This can help isolate the problem further.
You can pretty much connect as many devices to the wireless side as you wish. The only problem you might encounter if you connect a large number of machines on the wireless side is lack of bandwidth. I can't imagine 5-6 machines on a wireless network would be a problem, unless one or two of them attempts a large file transfer. Even then, I would expect the wireless to be slow - not down.
What version of firmware is in your WRT160N? How long have you had your router, and has it worked properly in the past?

Ear phone cuts out during conversation, starts playing music

My new iPhone 4 S GSM-GBR earphone cuts out during my conversation and music starts to play, the conversation may or may not start again.
I borrowed a friends earphone and don't have any problems.
Is the earphone faulty?

This issue has been happening to me as well in the OKC area. Started about 2 weeks ago, have had apple send a new iPhone and problem persisted. AT&T claims it's not a network issue but almost everyone I know that has an iPhone in this area is having the EXACT same problem.... incoming audio cuts out after being on the call. I was told by AT&T that my mic or speaker was probably going out and when I asked them if that was the case for everyone else experiencing the problem their answer was yes ... no wonder we have such great service from this carrier! UUGGHHH!!! Obviously, since it's happening on numerous iPhones, is replicated on a brand new iphone, it's not a hardware issue and must be a network issue.

My iphone keeps cutting out when i ring people and people cant hear me when i speak what could it be?

when i ring people my iphone keeps cutting out, it connects but i can hear them talking but they cant hear me talking :s

Hey Ciara,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are having issues with others being able to hear you while on calls, the issue seems to be resolved by using speakerphone. This makes sense, as speakerphone utilizes a different microphone. I would advise you to take a look at the following articles:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting

iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic

How do I keep sound from cutting out on FaceTime?

I am a brand new Mac mini owner (2.5Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD, ATI graphics). I am also a brand new Mac person. Today is day 3 w/ my new mini and OSX Lion.
I have a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema HD 720p webcam (model H5D-00001) that I bought about a year ago for a PC, and the box states it is compatible w/ OSX. I have connected the camera and it works fine with PhotoBooth and Skype for video and audio with no hiccups. I started FaceTime to talk to my brother in another county in Pennsylvania (both on Comcast internet connections, mine wired via Ethernet to a Netgear WNR2000 router and his iPad 2 wirelessly connected to another Netgear WNR2000 router via Comcast).
The conversation starts fine. But after about 2 minutes, I start to lose my brother's audio on my end of the connection. The audio starts to get garbled, then it cuts out completely. We close and re-open the FaceTime session to fix it, but it keeps happening after the 2 minute mark.
I have closed all other connections other than FaceTime. It is also a BRAND NEW 4GB Core i5 Mac and his is a brand new iPad 2.
Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot or resolve this problem? Thanks.

Dear Apple,
I have been a loyal customer since 1991. I have enjoyed nearly every product. I love - LOVE Facetime.
But the audio dropout problem *****. PLEASE FIX IT.
Seriously, there should be an easy software fix to prevent the auto-volume control from dropping one party's sound so low that it is inaudible. You can do SIRI for crying out loud, surely you can FIX THIS.
Thank you!

If you are using Win7 Please try this:
Open Windows Event Viewer. Go to Custom Views -> Administrative Events. Look for the recent error messages. Click on any errors and post the details here if they happen at the time things fail.
Otherwise do this:
Using your Windows Control Panel:
Adminstrator Tools -> Event Viewer
Click on System and later Applications, do you see any errors logged during the times this happens, if so what errors ("If you click on the errors you can get more details and copy/paste them here")?
Also, please check times after you reboot to see if any errors are produced when you system is restarting.
Are you current with ALL Windows Updates and any Updates from your manufacturers web site for your system and any attached devices?
