The microphone won't pick up my voice

Here's the situation.
My mic is working fine, I checked through windows. However, when I attempt to talk in skype, and skype ALONE, it will not pick up any sound in the microphone, EXCEPT the sounds my headphones create, that is loud enough to be picked up. I have the latest version of skype, restarted skype, and followed every instruction to find a solution to the problem.
I need help and I don't know what's going on

I have this same problem

When I try to record videos, the camera doesn't pick up my voice. Is it because I have over 1000 pics/vids?? Because Siri can hear me when I talk to her.... It only doesn't work on videos

Hi colin3!
It sounds like you could be having an issue with one of the microphones on your iPhone 5. Your iPhone 5 has three microphones that function together and separately, depending on what is using them.
Apple - iPhone 5 - It’s so much more. And so much less, too.

Enhanced audio on iPhone 5.
Apple EarPods are just the beginning of the improved audio experience on iPhone 5. It’s designed with three microphones: one on the front, one on the back, and one on the bottom. The front and back mics work together to achieve beamforming — a technique that helps iPhone focus on sound from the desired location for clearer audio. New noise-canceling technology reduces background noise. So when you hold iPhone up to your ear in a loud room, you hear what matters most: the voice on the other end.
There is an article available that can help you troubleshoot the issue a little further and can guide you to some next steps. That article can be found here:

TS1398 My iPhone 4s will no longer pick up or connect to any WiFi network. The WiFi button isn't greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up any of the networks I have been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck

The WiFi button is not greyed out or dimmed but the phone won't pick up or connect toany of the networks I have previously been connected to. I have updated to iOS 7, reset the network settings but no luck. Any suggestions?

If it's grayed out:
Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.

Microphone doesn't pick up sound when in speaker phone.

When using the iphone 5 in speaker mode, the mic won't pick up my voice when trying to talk to the person.

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved. If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation. Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.

Skype 7.0 is not picking up my voice after a black...

So basically what happened was I was skyping with my friend fine and suddenly PC got shut off due to a blackout. After a restart, my Skype (7.0) won't pick up my voice anymore. Only Skype won't pick up my voice. Steam, GTalk, Windows Setting all can pick up my voice. Tried to switch to front audiojack panel and it seems to work fine but quality is kinda bad (Skype 7.0 is not picking up my voice if my mic is plugged into the rear audiojack panel).
Things I've tried:
Reinstalling audio driver
Reset Skype settings
Clean reinstallation of Skype (Using Revo Uninstaller to uninstall)
Reinstalled Windows (Full Format)
I'm currently using Skype 6.14 which apparently is able to pick up my voice. Adviced needed :/

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

Microphone won't work for 4s only in videos?

If I take any sort of video on my 4s the microphone won't work at all. It'll work when talking, with Siri, even in voice memos. But if I do a vine or Instagram video or regular video it won't have sound???

make sure you fingers are not blocking the mic
it's in the buttom of the device beside the speaker

How do I get my microphone to pick up my voice?

The microphone on my 4S isn't working. It will not pick up my voice on regular calls, it will only pick it up on speakerphone. I have reset my phone. Still doesn't work. Is there someway for me to fix it or do I need to go into Apple?

You can't.

Skype won't pick up microphone audio unless someth...

Hello Skype community! So I am having this REALLY strange problem. My Skype won't pick up any audio from my microphone unless something else is monitoring/using it. For instance, if I have my "Recording Devices" tab open under my sound settings, my microphone will work. Same for Sound Recorder. I can't figure out what's going on. I reinstalled drivers, I upgraded Skype, and I've plain turned my laptop off and on again. The same problem happens in the Skype app.
I'm running Windows 8.1, using the lastest version of Skype (7.5.0.102).
Anything else that uses my microphone works just fine without issues; it's just Skype, and I can't figure this out for the life of me. Any help? This is really frustrating me

The record level being grayed out means the interface is selected and the input level is controlled by the interface.
Did you choose the correct input channel?
Did you turn on monitoring?
Do you have the gain level turned up on the interface?

IPhone 5s with hearing aids via Bluetooth. Need to use the phone for voice, what's the best distance that the mic will pick up your voice

I wear hearing aids that are made for Apple, the audio will go into the hearing aids via Bluetooth. I'll need to use my phone for voice only.. I drive for work and have a wok oh one too and both are synced to a bluetooh headset (LG). I'm trying to figure out how to talk on both phones ( use speakerphone on work phone?) without using a bluretooh headset. I don't know the range of the microphone on the IPHON, thinking about hanging it around my neck or put the phone into a stand/holder on the dash and use the speakerphone feature. Looking for ideas to make this simple

You can't do anything with that problem.
Take your iPhone to the closest Apple Store and they will give you new one for 200€/$ or if you bought your iPhone in less than 12 months you will get it for free.

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds.. What do I do?

My Radio on my Nano won't pick up a signal.. I cennected my headphones and am in the middle of the city, so there are plenty of stations to find. Also my iPod keeps pausing every like 30 seconds when I try to listen to my music. I just got it for Christmas and already loaded it with songs.. What do I do?

Push the headphone jack all the way in, you don't have it fully plugged in yet.

TS3376 The microphone on my i-pad mini does not seem to hear/pick-up any sounds when recording videos, facetime etc. Has anyone else had this problem?

The micro phone on my i-pad mini seems to have stopped working. The unit has never been rough housed and is always kept in a safe environment....we can hear everything fine, but no one can hear us and it does not pick up any sounds when recording video. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface.

Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface but does not arrive in Logic. The Loops works fine and i can hear. Is just the sound to record the voice it does not work. What can i do ??? I used Logic before in the same computer and it worked fine. Thank you so much, I´m a begginer recording myself.

Make sure you go into preferences in Logic and set the audio input to be your interface and the audio output to be either built in output or the interface, if that is hooked up to something else. It sounds like Garageband has the audio interface set as the input but not Logic.
Also make sure you close all other applications except Logic to ensure it is not running in slave mode...

I am not able to turn off voice over. I have tried to do settings - General - Accessibility - VoiceOver and then triple clicked it but the VoiceOver won't turn off. What can I do? I have even tried to reset the machine keeping the data, no use.

A few people have reported problems with the hand gestures since IOS 8. It's not normal, I have don't have the problem on my iPad 4. I doubt it's a major problem but if it happens regularly I'd have it checked out by the Genius bar at the Apple Store.
