The microphone does not seem to be working correctly--it is very low

When using Vtok and Google video chat, I discovered that I could see and hear my daughter perfectly on my iPad2 from her computer. She could see me but not hear me. A microphone icon showed on the bottom of my screen that was grayed out with a bar through the microphone.
I cannot find any way to make any changes to the microphone setting.  The sound was on and turned up full. 
Later I thought of making a short video to test the microphone. When played back, the sound was almost inaudible. I then synced the iPad and afterward the sound was slightly louder. But it is still not normal. Trying again to use Vtok or Google chat the microphone was still not working.
Any ideas on what I can do so I can video chat with my daughter? She isn't sure she can put FaceTime on her old Mac. And she successfully video chats all the time with all her friends from Google.
Thanks, Andy in NJ

Andy-
You might also try the iPhone App, Skype.  It works well with the iPad, and there is an auto-test server that will record your audio and then play it back.
I recall one other person who had an iPad 2 with a defective microphone.  That person could use an external headset microphone, but not the iPad's internal microphone.  If it is convenient to take it to an Apple Store Genius, they should replace a defective iPad 2 on the spot.
One thing to try that might help and won't hurt anything, is to reboot your iPad's CPU.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  After the iPad restarts, see if it has improved.

  • %@ page import="..." % does not seem to be working correctly

    Hi,
              I am running Weblogic 6.1 sp1 and I am having a problem with import page
              directive. <%@ page import="my.package.*" %> does not appear to be working
              correctly when I try to reference classes in imported packages (my.package,
              etc.) from the useBean tag.
              The following code works with Resin, but not Weblogic:
              <%@ page import="my.package.*" %>
              <jsp:useBean id="errorBean" class="ErrorBean" scope="request"/>
              If, I take out the page directive, and change the useBean tag to:
              <jsp:useBean id="errorBean" class="my.package.ErrorBean"
              scope="request"/>
              then the page compiles and runs just fine.
              Michael
              

    Here's a snippet from Sun's j2ee tutorial
              (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/tutorial/1_3-fcs/doc/JSPBeans4.html):
              <jsp:useBean id="beanName"
              class="fully_qualified_classname" scope="scope"/>
              But I agree with you, the excerpt you posted seems to include the
              useBean tag, which is misleading.

  • HT201401 my microphone does not seem to be working since i did the last software update. any idea's

    I can record voice notes no problem, but when i make calls the recepient cannot hear me.
    I did a full restore and had one succesful call and that was it.
    tried calling with and without the cover no luck.
    phone is only two weeks old,problem only started once i did the latest software update. vs5.1.1
    any idea's?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you've gone through ALL the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, there's really not much left to recommend.  You'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.
    Best of luck.

  • SMTP routing table does not seem to be working correctly.

    Why isn't the SMTP routing table working properly?
    <P>
    First, make sure you have the routing table setup correctly.
    Entries in the Routing table are in the following format:
    <P>
    <incoming recipient domain>:<route to this host>
    <P>
    For example, if you want all mail addressed to [email protected]
    to be routed to mailhost1.realdomain.com, you would add the following
    line to the SMTP routing table:
    <P>
    virtualdomain.com:mailhost1.realdomain.com
    <P>
    With the above option, any mail coming in addressed to <anyone>@virtualdomain.com
    will be routed to mailhost1.realdomain.com. The recipient email
    address will not be re-written, so mailhost1.realdomain.com needs to
    accept mail addressed to the original address, @virtualdomain.com,
    even though it is in realdomain.com.
    <P>
    Before adding, changing or deleting any SMTP routing table entries, double-check
    with the DNS Administrator that the host names you specify are valid,
    registered host names. If in doubt, you can use IP addresses for the
    "route to" host, but not for the "incoming recipient domain".
    <P>
    Wild cards can be used in mail routing table options, but they indicate that a
    hostname <B>will</B> fill that spot. For example:
    <P>
    *.domain.com:mailserver1.domain.com
    <P>
    In the above example, any mail addressed to <anyone>@<anyhost>.domain.com
    will be routed to mailserver1.domain.com. However, mail addressed to
    <anyone>@domain.com will not be routed. To fix this, add this
    line:
    <P>
    domain.com:mailserver1.domain.com
    <P>
    <B>Note:</B> You cannot use the SMTP routing table to route all mail
    addressed to a specific domain to a specific account. You would need to use
    a "Mail Pool" account for this, which is only available in Messaging Server
    3.5+.

    is this entry valid for routing table in nms v 4.15 p6
    * : anotherhot.mydomain.com:5000
    assuming that my anotherhost is listening and accepting on port 5000 for smtp connections. and i wanna forward all the mails to that host
    regards

  • My spotlight does not seem to be working correctly

    This is the 3rd time spotlight has not found a document I knew was in my documents folder.
    How do I go about fixing this.
    thanks,
    Laura

    Hi L,
    Yes, that is usual, I had the same issue.
    Use the Finder's search for a while, Spotlight is constantly indexing and will collect metadata to perform better search in sometime.
    Do this kind of search:
    Give focus to Finder and hit COMMAND+F > from the drop down box where KIND is select choose OTHER > from the next window select NAME, CONTENTS, SYSTEM FILES, FILE VISIBILITY and others that you find useful > back to the drop down select NAME and CONTAINS or ENDS WITH if you know some part of the name or extension or then select CONTENTS if you wish > enter what to search > choose the place to look at right after "Search:" above the drop down combo. If this do not return results hit the + sign on the right and add System Files as included, hit + again to add File Visibility as Visible or Invisible.
    If search brings too much internet browsing history or other files you do not want to see hold OPTION and hit the "..." that were shown in the + sign to exclude or make other associations as you wish.
    Good luck.

    My keyboard attachment to the ipad does not seem to be working.  It has been recharged.  Is there anything else I should be doing?

    When you plug in earphones, or anything in the audio output port, it should be reflected in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>SOUND.  If not, try a PRAM reset.

  • How is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order!

    how is my laptop working even though I spilled iced tea on it? The keyboard does not light up but works normally, and everything else seems to be in order! The front of the bottom is hot while the rest if mildly warm. I don't know if its going to have a problem in the future. I wiped off as much as I could with a cloth and left it open and upside down for 10-15 minutes. Any idea if I am in the clear?

    Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. Do not wait.

  • HT1766 My touch screen does not seem to be working. The slide to unlock will not slide

    My touch screen does not seem to be working. I can not slide to open my phone or slide to turn off.

    You have tried restarting, right? Also, try holding the home and sleep/wake buttons together for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. See if that helps. If it doesn't and you think this is a hardware problem, taking it into the Apple Store is your best bet.

  • Bought iphone4 and the microphone does not work only if we use in speak mode. How is it possible to fix

    I bought two  iphone4 in Miami and one of them appared a problem that the microphone does not work in normal call only if i use the speak mode. I am living in Manaus - Amazonas - Brazil and we do not have an apple store to complain it.
    Question.
    How is it possible to fix this problem ?
    Maria Filomena Kimura

    Unfortunately, the warranty is NOT international. You will have to send the defective phone to someone in the U.S. and ask them to take it into the Apple Store for replacement, then have them ship it back to you. Apple will not accept the International shipment, nor will they ship a replacement phone out of the country where it has warranty coverage.
    There are 4 carriers in Brazil who sell the iPhone, including one which sells it completely unlocked. You probably would have been better off to purchase them there if that's where you live.

  • "Item Help Subscription" does not seem to be working

    Hi All,
    I am on APEX 4.0.1. and trying to use the feature "Item Help Subscription" which does not seem to be working.
    Here is what I have done.
    -> Created a forms page (page 2) that has an item 'P2_NAME'. Define the "Help Text" for that item.
    -> Created another forms page (page 3) that has an item called 'P3_CUST_NAME'.
    -> In Page Definition for Page 3, Clicked on 'Edit All' icon under 'Items'
    -> Clicked 'Utilities' and selected 'Item Help Subscriptions'
    -> For Item 'P3_CUST_NAME', clicked on the LOV under 'Subscribe To' field and selected 'P2_NAME'
    However when I am clicking on 'Apply Changes' to save the changes, it is not getting saved. The 'Subscribe To' field appears blank even after applying changes.
    What I want to know is - is it a bug or have I missed something ? Is anyone using this feature successfully ?
    Any pointers or help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards,

    My operating system does not seem to be working properly.  The system preferences cannot be accessed and itunes won't work either.
    My mac is OS X Version 10.4.11 so is quite old.

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Let us know if that helps or not, or any other problems.
