I'm sure you have checked, but make sure your mute button on the keyboard is not on , also check that you haven't touched the space bar during a call as that mutes it.
Check your settings in Skype>Preferences, Audio/Video tab. Here's what mine look like:

  • Mac Freezes When Using Skype and Watching Video

    I have a Mac (OS X Ver. 10.6.8 Build 10K549) with 4 GB Memory and 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 Processor. My Mac freezes, and requires a hard reset. **Everything** freezes, keyboard and mouse click no longer works. Sound may continue. This happens all the time I use **Skype** and sometimes when I watch **video** online. This happened before when I was using Mavericks. It reached to a point that I could not use my Mac. I basically installed **Snow Leopard** back again. Problem was solved until the last two days. I deleted and re-installed Skype. This did not solve the issue. Unfortunately, I could not find a solution to my problem after a research in these pages. Thanks.

    I had the same problem but it seemed to stop after I installed a program called Caffeine that prevents your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. I haven't had a freeze-up as long as I have it enabled.

    I have a iPod touch 5 generation and I've reset my settings to it and I need help fixing it any help would be very helpful. If you know what's wrong with it please email [email protected]

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Other users have had the same problem.

  • Y50-70 Touch Built-In microphone doesn't work

    Hi,I recently bought a Lenovo Y50-70 Touch and after couple of weeks I tried to skype and realized that the microphone doesn't work. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and also I checked the microphone level in the mixer but non of them solved the problem.Can someone help me with this problem? How can I send my laptop to be physically checked?Thank you!

    I have this problem as well. I installed the latest Realtek audio driver and that had no affect. Not sure what to do - everything is updated - SP3, bootcamp version...

  • I just noticed that when I talk on skype, my friends can not hear me as clear. I went to sound setting on the mac and noticed that my voice was getting picked up to good regardless of chaning the setting. Has anyone got any idea??

    I just noticed that when I talk on skype, my friends can not hear me as clear. I went to sound setting on the mac and noticed that my voice was getting picked up to good regardless of chaning the setting. Has anyone got any idea??

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore.  Has any of this been tried?
    It is possible that dropping the device has caused the issue.... regardless, it's unlikely Apple would do a warranty exchange since there is obvious user damage.
    If basic troubleshooting does not resolve the issue, take it to an Apple store for evaluation... if determined to be a hardware issue and you ask nicely, they may be able to assist you, but they may also only provide the option of an Out of Warranty replacement.

  • Really Apple? OSX 10.8.5 disables built-in camera functionality with third party apps such as Skype and Gmail video chat. I do not have time machine on my 2013 MB Air. How can I get back to 10.8.4?

    Really Apple?
    With the release OSX 10.8.5 Apple has once again showed its true colors, and continued its efforts to create a closed Apple system, which eliminates third party vendors, unless, one can only assume... they pay.
    Included in this OSX update is the disabling of the built-in camera to work with third party applications such as Skype and Gmail video chat. No surprise the camera works just fine with Apple apps such as Facetime and Photobooth.
    The answer I got on my call to AppleCare to ask for assistance in reinstalling 10.8.4, so that I may Skype again, was we can not do that. You can not go back unless you have a time machine bkup.
    Can anyone help me get back to to 10.8.4 on my 2013 MB Air?
    I do not have a time machine bkup as this computer is not used to store important documents.
    Thank you.

    Don't panic. Skype simply needs to update its app.

  • Frequently the earphone and microphone doesn't work and I have to turn off in order to work, it ocurr  whit skype and the ipod function, what I have to do?

    Frecuently the earphone and the microphone doesn't work, specially with skype and the music (ipod), and I have torestart (turn off) my Ipad !.
    What I have to do?
    Thanks in advance for your support.

    Have you reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen? If that doesn't resolve this, you can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but all device settings will have to be entered again.
    If that doesn't fix it, your next step might be to backup then erase all content and settings or restore the iPad to factory settings. See how if goes if you reset all settings first.

    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.
    http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/
    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:

  • I bought one Iphone a 3 weeks ago and I can´t listen what people speak with me, because de microphone doesn´t work, I need  to use the speaker, somebody know what I need to do?

    I bought one Iphone a 3 weeks ago and I can´t listen what people speak with me, because de microphone doesn´t work, I need  to use the speaker, somebody know what I need to do?

    Just thought that I'd report that I've decided on my solution.
    It seems that just making do with what I can find on the US store is the easiest and perhaps also the best way of going about it. All other methods mean trouble. I'm lucky that China hasn't outright blocked the US store, as they HAVE blocked iTunes music store in China already (something about a song about Tibet caused them to block the store entirely).
    So yeah, just going to deal with it I guess. I should be grateful I'm getting anything at all, considering the country I'm in. Still, I just feel so ripped off sometimes when I pay for expensive devices and I can't even get much out of them do to my region. iPhones cost around $700 in China because there's no company like AT&T that you can just sign a contract with to get one, so you have to pay up-front for the phone, and get less features out of it in the end. Makes buying smart phones look like a waste of time and money sometimes, since you can't use the device to do what it was built to do due to censorship and not having any content for your region (though they do have a lot of Chinese apps that I can't use due to not knowing Chinese).

  • HT1688 When I take pictures using the front camera the photo saves as if it were flipped in the opposite direct. How do I get it to saved as the picture was originally taken?

    If you are talking about landscape pictures, hold the phone so the camera is at the top and the volume buttons on the bottom. If you hold it with the volume buttons on the top, the camera is upside down.
