No sound with external isight

Hi just upgraded to lion to find that I get no sound from my external isight.
Works fine with skype etc, but just no sound with facetime.
Apple please fix, worked great in snow leopard.

(1) External iSight's firewire mic is not supported in the Lion version of the FaceTime app.
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
The Lion versions of FaceTime require USB mics.
(2) For more info and possible workarounds, click here to search for "external AND iSight AND FaceTime AND Lion" (without the quotation marks.) One example on this topic is here:

(3) You can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
You will not get a response, but you can be certain
that the responsible Apple people will see your input
for consideration in FaceTime product development.

No ringtone with FaceTime and no alert sound??

I have not been able to get a ringtone with FaceTime nor can I get an alert signal. Mute is off and volume control works.HELP

There is a button on upper right hand side of iPad, just above the volume slider. In settings this button can be set to either Mute sounds or Lock Orientation. You may have chosen the setting to Mute sounds and simply moving the switch may solve your problem. If that isn't the case, double click your home button and when the botton row of Apps appears, slide them with your finger to the right. On the very left you may find a mute icon and if you do, touch it and you will unmute sounds.

Has anyone else noticed the lack of sound quality with FaceTime in iOS 6, over wifi?

FT has lost much of its fidelity. It gates out all the noise, which I'm sure is supposed to be better, but now it's more like like a cell phone call. Sure the warmth of sound is better, but it cuts off breaths and sighs. All the things that make it so great when talking to your kids and family when traveling on the road.
If this was the cost of getting FT over 3G, it's not worth it.

Hi there, I have the same issue with FaceTime an ios6. When using it with iPhone 4 and 4s, the sound quality has decreased when compared to ios5. Background white noise is now reduced but low volume sounds (such as sights and whispers) are cut out too.
This is qualitatively not an improvement, and much of the warmth of former talks using FaceTime is now gone.
I do really hope there will be an answer from apple's side soon.
Cheers

I hear no sound in FaceTime on iPhone while in conversation with macbook pro

i hear no sound in FaceTime on iPhone while in conversation with macbook pro

This sounds like something similar to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3388112?start=105&tstart=0.
Looks like the problem was on the Macbook Pro. Try ask the person using Macbook Pro turning down the speak volume (System Preferences->Sound->Output->Output Volume) or the microphone gain (System Preferences->Sound->Input->Input Volume).

My sound on FaceTime is not working after downloading iOS 6 ??

Ever since I have downloaded iOS 6 when I am on a FaceTime call nobody can ever hear me. Has anyone else had sound problems since the new update ??

Re: My sound on FaceTime is not working after downloading iOS 6 ??

same issue here... And a restore didn't do any good either.
Try backing up your information to iTunes, and Restore your devices as new with no content on it what-so-ever. If the issue persists after that, this may be a hardware issue. Check your Mic's for debris, and remove the case you have on the device as well to see if you have the same results. Then contact Apple Support if all else fails.

Problem with FaceTime after updating to iOS 4.3

Hi, since I updated my iPhone 4 to the iOS 4.3 I have been having issues with FaceTime. Either it freezes, or my camera doesn't activate when I answer FaceTime calls (I can see the other person's video, but the little square from my camera appears blank and the others say they only get a black screen). The only way to solve this is hanging up and making the call myself, then my camera will work just fine...
Before the update FaceTime worked beautifully... Is this a bug? Any ideas?

Hi bent71,
Can you try turning off application syncing and removing all apps and then downloading a fresh copy? Ensure that you "Transfer purchases" in iTunes first by right-clicking the iPhone and selecting that.
This should remove all applications and their data, but would be a way to test......
You could also ultimately try to restore your device and set up as new using the below information;
Setting up your iPhone as New: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3828
This would be more invasive though and would require you to migrate all your information across, it sounds simply that the application data has become corrupt and doing the above step should resolve this but you will lose all your application information.....
Cheers,

Problems with FaceTime and Time Capsule?

I was wondering if anyone who uses Time Capsule for their WiFi router has ever experienced any problems with FaceTime? I use that as my router out of state, and when placing calls to my Mom, she has a LinkSys router. Every time I go to try a FaceTime call, the sound is spotty, and then the call eventually craps out. However, Skype works just fine. During a recent visit to her home, I tried a FaceTime call and it worked just fine, which led me to wonder if it had anything to do with us having separate routers, or if it's a strength of the Internet connection signal? Was just curious if anyone else had similar issues? Thank you in advance!

Sounds like a Internet connection problem to me, probably too slow.
You can try identifing the more problematic router/Internet connection by FaceTime calling a iPhone on a 3rd Wi-Fi network. If it works from your location but not your mom's, then your mom's router or Internet connection is the problem. You can further narrow it down by switching routers after finding the location that has the problem.
You can check the speed of the Internet connect and make sure the wireless router is updated and configured correctly.
WTH.

Your only option is to sell the iPad and buy a new one.

Why is it that when I call my MIL with FaceTime I end up calling another person?

When I call my mother in law with FaceTime, I end up calling a total stranger. I use her number from my contacts and it is the right number, it works just fine if I make a regular phone call. Today, I called her and talked to her for some time and after a while we decided to switch to FaceTime. While on the phone with her, I pushed the FaceTime button on my screen, the call ended, FaceTime started and instead of my MIL it was a complete stranger that answered the call. What can I do to fix this problem?

Check to see if you have an old phone number associated with this person in your address book. When you call someone on Facetime it calls ALL numbers/emails associated with that persons contact sheet! This was my problem, this stranger has my husband's old phone number!

No sound with facetime
