Why can't I be heard when making Skype calls from iPad2 or iPhone?

Live in Costa Rica. Been making Skype calls to U.S. in excess of 5 years. During the past 3 weeks when I make initial Skype call with my iPad2 or iPhone and I can't be heard. I "Power off" iPad or "Turn off" iPhone, then turn on one or both and attempt 2nd Skype call. I can hear the party I am calling and they can hear me. Call quality is excellent. iPad and iPhone software is up to date. Skype Version is latest version (4.0.1325) released on 21 May, 2012. I have deleted App and reinstalled both numerous times. I connect using WIFI with Apple Extreme and Apple Express. I also connect to Skype using MacBook with no sound problems

Also sent this issue to Skype and was promised a response in 24 hours. Did not receive and decided once again to read current reviews of Skype In App Store. Did a search in App Store using "Skype", not Skype for iPad. Apps were shown for iPad, iPhone and iPod. Unlike the iPad App which shows "installed", the iPhone App displayed "Install". I installed the iPhone App to my iPad2. My iPad now has 2 App's installed. The iPhone Skype App display format on my iPad now looks like the Skype display before I upgraded to the current iPad version in late May. Made a call using both App's. Still could not be heard with Skype iPad App. Called the same individual using iPhone App installed on my iPad. Was heard and the sound quality was excellent! Will continue to make calls for several days before passing judgement.

Unable to be heard when making a call?

I am unable to be heard when making a call, but can be heard when using speaker or headphone

There may be some issue with your mic. I'd go to an Apple store

Why doesn´t music stop playing when making a call?

Why doesn´t music stop playing when making a call?
Shouldn´t that be automatic like it used to be in iOS6?

Ok, I just realised that this only happens if the current page in iBooks has a video on it. If the page has only text and images, there is no problem.
I still think it is a bug though. If the video is not running, I don't see why the music player should be stopped. If I choose to start the video on the page, THEN the music player should be stopped.

I get an error message "iPhone is already on a call" when making phone calls from Macbook Air. What can I do to fix this problem?

I have followed the instructions exactly according to Apple for making phone calls from my Macbook Air. Im signed in to iCloud on both devices. Im on the same wifi network. Wifi calls is turned off on my iPhone. Any suggestions?

Howdy jcannon130,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your Mac believes you iPhone is still on a call while trying to make a call from your Mac, please first reset your iPhone, and then verify you have the settings configured correctly on your Mac and iPhone.

just bought a new 13" macbook pro and when trying to use facetime with any iphone 4, the call just keeps ringing on either end and will not connect.

I Have the same problem that you have.
I find a trick to make it work, but it can be a little annoting sometimes.
Turn off your Macbook and then Turn it on, and re-open Facetime
It should work
Hope it will help

IPhone 6 seems to crash when making phone call from Mac

When using my iPhone 6 Plus to make phone calls from the Macintosh, (initiating call from Mac Contacts app in Yosemite) the iPhone continually brings up the Apple logo and does a quick restart over and over again. The phone call, however seems to work, but it's just that the iPhone looks as if it's going crazy showing the Apple logo and then the home screen over and over again. This had worked initially, but not anymore. Both iPhone 6 and MacBookPro up to date with updates.

If you never find an app that will do it then you could have a go at making one yourself-I don't think you need to pay Apple as long as you don't want to sell it.

Can't be heard when making a call

When I make a call I can't be heard by others- speakerphone and Bluetooth both fine.
Is this a quick fix or will I need a new phone? Traveling out of country Wed and don't have much time.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

Why can't i get creative when making an Email in my hotmail account using Firefox?

Font types and color menus in hotmail when creating an Email don't work right.Drop-down menus for font types/print-color flashes on & off with 1st try..works on 2nd but pressing the ''bold text'' button cancels out all font/color combs selected.

Had this problem for quite a while but found a work-a-round. I click anywhere in the text I want to delete and insert any character. I am then able to block and delete any text I want to. It's been working great.

Clicking sound when making a call from mac

When I try to answer a call or make a call I have a horrible clicking sound. Don't think a speaker is blown because I tried to play music and it sounds fine. Assuming I just have a setting that is wrong some where. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thank you!

I had this happen as well. Restarting my MacBook Pro (8,2) made it go away. At other times it seemed to appear when calling some phones (my wife's iPhone 4 and my son's Samsung phone) but not others (my land line), but this was not consistent. My phone is an iPhone 5. I'm hoping the iOS update due tomorrow will fix this.

IPhone 4 software issue. Cannot hear or be heard when making call

Hi there,
A few days ago, out of the blue, I lost the ability to be able to hear or be heard when on a call on my iPhone 4.
On a call, no matter which output I use, earpiece, earphones or speaker, I cannot hear the person on the other end speaking, and they cannot hear me talking. My phone will ring if someone is calling, and if I call someone their phone will connect, but from there I am completely muted/in silence.
I do not believe this is a hardware related issue as I have tested both the microphone and speaker/s by making a Skype call to a friend which worked absolutely fine. I can also play music from my phone successfully through all of the iPhone outputs mentioned above.
This is a super frustrating issue as I haven't dropped the phone or damaged any of the hardware.
The only one software related thing I notice that is out of the ordinary is that when I do make a call, the 'speaker' icon is selected by default. Obviously I have attempted to deselect it, but have had no success in this making any difference.
Any ideas?
Of course where I live I don't have access to an Apple Store, and everywhere I take it locally I get the response - 'Sorry, we don't repair iPhones'
Thanks,
Jeff

I forgot to mention that I have reset all settings and restored the phone twice - once as a restore from a back up, and then a restore as a new phone. None of these methods worked and I'm still stuck with the same issue!
Looks like I might be posting my phone to Apple

In an inline renderer, the compiler knows which document will be the “outerDocument” so it sets up special code to assign that value. I think you can use parentDocument or owner.document

I just tried to help another guy in another discussin with similar problems.
Headset input is not working
I would suggest a iPhone restore and fresh load from Backup... but it is no guarantee.
