My microphone in FaceTime is permanetly muted. Cannot unmute.

Nowone can hear me on FaceTime but I can see and hear them. Works ok on Skype. Cannot unmute microphone. Symbol has a bar through it as if I muted it. Selected the internal mic in setup not line in. Ant ideas?

To anyone having a similar problem....
Well troubleshooting reveals nothing wrong this end. The pblm was determined to be the contacts ROUTER. Possibly a firewall setting. I see now I could eliminate pblm by having my contact take the IPad to a coffee shop to eliminate ROUTER pblm. Then I'll address the contact's router settings.

    The UAE and several other mostly Middle Eastern Countries ban FaceTime. Because of this all devices manufactured for sale in those countries does not have FaceTime and FaceTime cannot be installed on those devices.

    I'm assuming that you have tried the mute/unmute icon?
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • 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.

  • Cannot unmute

    Today, the red touchkey icon above the function keys indicating the sound is muted was activated and I cannot deactive it; i.e. I cannot unmute my computer, and thus no longer have sound. I can unmute the sound via the volume control, but the red icon still stays on. If I press it the mute shows up again on the volume control. Any help would be appreciated.
    I have:
    HP Pavilion dv4-1465dx
     Vista
    Thanks!

    OK every one i read some more and i think i found out how to fix the problem with no sound:
    1 go to Control Panel
    2 go to Device Manager
    3 go to Sound, video, and game controllers
    4 double click the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
    5 go to Driver on the top of the IDT screen
    6 click Roll Back Driver...yes it takes away the most recent update but it worked for me
    7 after it is done rolling back go back to the IDT screen and go back to driver and click the Update Driver... button...don't interrupt it let it do a search and update
    if after those steps your audio still doesn't work properly then i cannot help any further
    hope your sound comes back

  • HT4085 are third party media apps (youtube, grooveshark, etc.) grouped in the muted or unmuted category?  Since music and podcast (default apps) DO mute and games DON'T mute I thought it worth asking.

  • [SOLVED] .xbindkeysrc: Muting works, unmuting stopped working.

    I have had these lines in .xbindkeysrc for a long time and they worked fine:
    # Mute
    "(mute)"
    m:0x10 + c:121
    Mod2 + XF86AudioMute
    # Volume up
    "(vol-up)"
    m:0x10 + c:123
    Mod2 + XF86AudioRaiseVolume
    # Volume down
    "(vol-down)"
    m:0x10 + c:122
    Mod2 + XF86AudioLowerVolume
    Pressing "mute" would toggle between muted and unmuted. But some time ago, toggling stopped working. Now, I can still mute, but pressing "mute" again will no longer unmute.
    Any help appreciated!

    Oh my. I did not notice when posting...
    "mute" is script of mine that toggles mute:
    amixer -c 0 set Master toggle
    But thanks to your reply I was lead to the cause. With "-c 0" amixer succeeds to mute, but fails to unmute. When I don't specify the device number, it works at least for my current sound card. I'll see if it works for my USB card as well.
    Thanks, brebs.
    PS: Interestingly, "-c 0" works for the volume up/down commands as it does for muting. Just not for unmute.

  • Cannot unmute my Macbook Pro?

    I cannot unmute my Macbook Pro.  Why?

    Hopefully one of these steps should solve the problem.
    1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
        Highlight  Internal Speakers
        Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
    2. Remove the headphone.
        If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
        in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
        Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
    3. Reset PRAM.  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
        Choose the method for:
        "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
    5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
        Audio Devices window
        Side Bar
        Click the Built-in Output.
        Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

  • Muting and unmuting sound

    I've had my new Satellite S855-S5254  for less than a month. One thing I've noticed is that there is a delay when muting and unmuting sound.  Not a huge deal, but this is a brand-new powerful machine and I'd like everything to work right. Is there a solution?

    Never heard of such a thing.  Mute is instantaneous on my 3 Toshibas. Assuming your sound driver is Realtek, try reinstalling THIS one.
    If that doesn't work, go to THIS download site and try these:
        1.  Toshiba Audio Enhancement.
        2.  SRS Premium Sound HD Utility.

  • Macbook pro microphone muted in ichat, cannot unmute

    So I am trying to iChat with my Dad who is in Kunming, China. We had an iChat a week prior to him leaving the U.S., everything was fine. I have had iChats with him in China before, no problems.
    This time, for some reason the mic on his MacBook Pro is muted and no matter what he presses in iChat he cannot un-mute it. The video part of the chat works fine and he can hear me. He doesn't use any other programs that would use the audio input. I had him check in system preferences and the internal microphone is listed and active. He's 80 and not super savy with the MB Pro yet, though he's better with it than most people half his age... So many web sites are banned over there, he was concerned somehow or another his audio is being blocked. I can't imagine that would be possible, I'm sure it's either a setting or possibly a malfunction with the computer. If I have him reset his PRAM, would that cancel out any other program that may have hijacked the mic? We've tried on 2 separate occasions and he's restarted and no luck.
    thanks!

    Hi,
    In iChat 4 and upwards the Video and Audio streams are on the same port.
    This would make it virtually impossible to block one without  blocking the other.
    Just to double check
    System Preferences > Sound > Input
    Ideally this should have the Mic chosen and the volume set to make the blue bar get to at least 1/2 way (3/4s is better).  It should not move so far that it bangs into the right hand end.
    This will cause the OS software to "Clip" the Audio to prevent feedback - which means no input is made and you will hear nothing.
    Next.
    iChat > Preferences > Video section.
    If there are two Inputs showing in System Preferences he will have a drop down
    It should list the same device.
    The green bar below the Video pic should also move (Although less than the blue bar did/does)
    Headsets
    If he is now using a Headset.
    Change the iChat Option to anything but the headset mic.
    Do the same in System Preferences > Sound > Input.
    Now set System Preferences > Sound > Input "First"
    And iChat > Microphone Drop Down "Last"
    He may need to do this for an Output choice if it appears in iChat and in the System Preferences > Sound > Output.
    He needs to be concerned with with getting Sound In to iChat as that is what you hear.
    It is easy to think that it is Output as it goes over the internet to the Buddy.
    More.
    The Video Menu of iChat
    In here the Microphone Enabled should be ticked
    Selecting this items toggles the tick on or Off (And the Mic On or Off)
    I would also check the View Menu
    In here make sure the Show Audio Status is ticked.
    This will show Audio icons next to the Buddies (Particularly if you deselect Show Video Status)
    Show Video should allow Audio but it will not hurt to check.
    In fact I would toggle the Microphone Enabled and both Show Statuses to make the App write the info to the .plist
    Then try an Audio Only chat
    You can do this from the Buddies menu (Or right clicking a Buddy) or by having Show Video Status Off.
    Yet more.
    I would also open the Connection Doctor from the Video menu at both ends during a chat
    This will report the stats.
    If his Bitrate is not stable then his audio may be effected.
    iChat will try to cope with changes by Buffering the Video which means dropping frames which then means the audio is dropped as it will not be in sync.
    You can try Limiting his Bandwidth in the Video Section of the Preferences to 500kbps
    This will smooth out large variances when using Extremely fast services that vary.
    500kbps is more than enough for a 4 way Video chat as Host but is a useful tool in iChat 5
    If his Framerate also varies it will be a sure sign that his Internet speed is varying.
    It may pay for you to drop your to 500kbps as well as hs end may be struggling to deal with high data loads from your end.
    As a Last resort try both end at 200kbps (Anything below this will not Video)
    Change one end at a time and keep an eye on the Connection Doctor to see when the end that has changed has settled.  The Buffering will smooth out the change.

  • Help I cannot unmute microphone in Macbook?

    I muted the built in microphone in my macbook via the midi settings app from utilities. However I can't seem to unmute it. There are three channels M, 1 and 2. Channel 1 and 2 are on but the M channel is grayed out. Do you guys have any idea what is going on? I have tried to record a video via photobooth but i hear no sound recorded.
    Thanks in advance!

    First, make sure that it is recognized in System Profiler.
    Second, open the Audio MIDI application. On the column near the side click the microphone (input). Near the volumn adjustments, make sure that it is not on mute.

  • Cannot unmute microphone

    Just reformatted my hard dri've and reinstalled Windows XP for the first time in 6 years of owning this computer, but my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 zs Gamer sound card did not come with the installation CD when it came with my computer. When I first got my computer years ago, my microphone line was for some reason muted by default under Creative Audio HQ program (why on Earth they would mute it there by default still confounds me), and no matter what I did in the Windows Play Control and Windows Recording Control to mute or unmute the mic didn't work. After hours of hair pulling, I realized I had to unmute the mic in Creative's Audio HQ FIRST, THEN it worked properly within all of Windows.
    But now after reformatting, I don't have Audio HQ installed anymore, the Windows XP cd that came with my computer doesnt have the Creative sound software suite on it, it's no longer on the Creative website as a download, what I found for the suite on Google only was for upgrading, and it needed a previous version installed to let it install. It isnt on my OEMs website, and they do not have the software either after dealing with their tech support guys over the phone. So HOW do I unmute Creative's control over my microphone channel if I can't get to that option anymore to do it's?
    I have 3 mics I've tried this with, to make sure it wasnt just a mic being bad. I am getting like NO sound from the mic whatsoever. This is really frustrating, and I don't know what else to do. Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    redb22,
    IIRC, the A2ZS Gamer card had the same installation CD as other versions. You can find it [url="http://www.filefront.com/5488235/SB_Audigy_2_ZS.rar/">here.[/url]

  • With OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, cannot record video with the iMac's built-in FaceTime HD camera. Cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar.

    Just updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and cannot find the "Import" button in the toolbar to record video on my iMac's Face Time HD built-in camera.  Trying to follow the steps found under "iMovie (2013): Record video with the FaceTime HD camera" on apple support posting but it seems to me that those were posted for another OS version.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hello Triunfo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you are using the current version of iMovie, 10.0.6, you can follow the directions in the help article linked to below to import using the built-in FaceTime HD camera.

  • Facetime iphone 4; others cannot face time me

    I am able to facetime others, but if someone tries to face time me using my phone number, they go to another person.  It is not anyone that I know.  The only way someone can face time me is through my email.  This has happened with 3 different people so I know it isn't the person initiating the facetime and must be with my phone.  Has anyone seen this before? 

    If you bought your iPhone from the UAE, Facetime will never be able to be installed on the phone.  Facetime is prohibited in the UAE, and all phones bought and/or used there will not have it.  Furthermore, if you take a phone from the UAE out of the country, you still CANNOT get Facetime on the phone as the hardware will not support it.
    There is nothing you can do to get FaceTime on your phone.
