Why can't I hear the person I'm calling???
Ok I know the subject line sounds like I'm a couple sandwiches short of a picnic. But honestly just a couple days ago my Blackberry phone rang, I go to answer the call and I can't hear the caller on the phone, but they can hear me. The only way I can have a conversation with anyone is by using my speaker. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happening and how to correct the problem???
I spent sometime with their on-line techs, they restored my phone to factory settings but the same problem was happening. Because I've still have a warranty on my phone, I was able to have it replaced.
If that happens to be your case, remember to back up or sync your phone with your computer. You'll loose all your information if not. Must be a batch of defective phones, we must be the lucky ones to have 2 of them huh?
Good luck!

Hi,
There can be several reasons.
1) They have their Mic Off.
In iChat > Video Menu the Microphone Enabled (or Audio Chat Enabled in Lion) needs to be ticked.
2) the System Preferences > Sound > Input tab Volume is not high enough ?
Slide it to the right (their end)
2a) the Mic selected here is not the one select in iChat > Preferences > Video section > Microphone drop down.
3) there is an issue with the speed differences in the internet services you both have.
If they are fast and sending lots of data and your end cannot buffer fast enough frame get dropped to smooth out video. There comes a point when the audio can no longer keep in sync and is dropped as well.
In iChat menu > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit set 500kbps at both ends
This also smooths out ISP variances.
4) after that it tends to be combos of things such as Processors involved, the Speed of those Processors and the speed or bandwidth available to the computers involved.

Why can't I hear the receiver of my call unless it's on speaker
Every time I make a call the receiver of my call picks up but I don't hear the dialing or anything on my end. The screen indicates that the call is in progress but there's dead air on my end. Only when I press speakerphone i can hear the person on the other end. The phone is only 3 weeks old.
Have you removed the plastic protective film that is on the iPhone when it was shipped?

I have a 4s with ios 6 but when I place a call I can't hear the person I' m calling, the volume is high but it's not working. Please help.
I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Just tried to place a call with my new iPhone. I can hear the person I'm calling but they cannot hear me. There is a line across the microphone icon, which I took to mean muted but nothing changes when I tap it. What am I doing - or not doing?
is your mute switch turned on (above the volume) ? remove case and screen protecter.
is volume turned up?
if so do this
account security
Please call apple @ 1-800-692-7753 in USA
ask for the account security team
you may want to add a credit card to your iTunes account before calling; so they will have a way to verify your identity.

Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works
Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?
Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet. Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem. -
Why can't I hear the caller on my phone?
I can't hear the person that is calling me on my iphone 4s. Is there something that I need to do differently?
Thanks for the solution. I kept the plastic on there as a protector, but cut the bottom off and completely forgot about the top of it. I feel stupid, but I'm grateful for the answer to the problem.

Hey guys,
I can play music and hear it just fine, with or without headphones. When I press on the keypad I can hear the noise it makes, I can hear calls with my headphones plugged in, or when the speaker option is on, however, unless this happens, I can't hear the person I am on the phone with.
I've tried restarting, resetting, earasing all content, and restoring it with iTunes and that didn't work.
I've tried cleaning the ports with a toothbrush, or pressing gently on the microphone and that didn't work.
I've tried calling with the headphone on, and taking them off in the middle of the call and that didn't work either.
I am currently outside of the US so I can't go to an Apple store, so I am wondering if any of you guys have been succesful at solving this problem. Your help is much appreciated
Thanks again,If you can listen to the other person on loud speaker, means your earpeice got damaged.
If you have warranty (1 year is basic, upto 3yrs if you bought an extended apple care), you can take your iphone to any apple store in the world for a free repair, yes, apple warranties are international.
But usually they replace it with another new phone.
So make sure you update your phone and backup everything on your itunes.
Even if you're ot of warranty, you can get it fixed from apple by paying extra.
For now you have to use headphone or loud speaker
Goodluck -
My Magic Jack is not working properly. I can make a call and the person I have called can hear me but I can't hear them. What can I do to fix this?
if it play not sound at all then it's likely the hardware issue where the headset detector gets stuck
like this the detector just is stuck in the opposite way

When making a phone call I have to put it on speaker to hear the person I'm calling.
When making a phone call I have to put it on speaker to hear who I'm calling. I can't hear when putting the phone to my ear.
I had the same problem just one hour ago. I could not hear the person I's talking to unless I put it on speaker.
I restarted my iPhone 4 and still the problem was there.
And it automatically started working again in one hour.
I would suggest to shake the iPhone a little and try to reboot and see if it's helping. -
Why can't I hear when I make a call?
Whenever I get a call on my iPhone 4, I can't hear the person on the other line, also whenever I record a video, theres no sound. Is it the internal mic?
unsure. try making a voice memo. can you hear yourself? that means your mic is working, so it's likely not a hardware issue. if the mic doesn't work and you can't hear yourself - you need a repair

Why can't I hear the first note until it loops around?
Hello Everyone,
I have a littlr problem. I have quantized a drum pattern so that the kick drum is on every fourth of a bar. The problem is....I can't hear the first kick until it loops around. Any ideas as to why this is?
Many thanks,
JVLook at the piano roll (or the event list) and make
sure that the first hit is on or just inside the
first beat of the measure. It might sound fine, but
if it's even a single tick in front of the first beat
of your sequence, then you won't hear it, since
playback starts at measure 1, beat 1, tick 1.
Most of the time when this problem occurs it is not because the note is behind the downbeat. And with note chase=on that shouldn't present a problem anyay.
And moving the beat one tick later than intended? If the tempo was right up there, say, 170 or something, maybe you wouldn't perceive that. But at slower tempos, a tick is a huge amount of time, especially for drums, and personally I wouldn't recommend changing the intended timing of your notes to suit the sequencer's inability to play things correctly on the downbeat, whatever the cause may be.
The easiest workaround for this (and it's not perfect, but still a workaround) is to start playback slightly before the downbeat. -
IPhone 4, I can't hear the person I'm calling!!
Hi Guys,
I'm hoping someone can save me, I have a new iPhone 4 not even a week old. When I have a call I cannot hear the other person unless I switch the phone to 'Speaker'. I have tried rebooting and restoring the phone to default factory settings and it has not helped anyone got any thoughts.
CheersI too am having this problem. I decided to call Apple support today and the first suggestion was to switch over to speakerphone (as Chatterbug suggested). I haven't tried this but was hoping for a better solution. She then told me she hasn't heard of this problem before and this worries because the device isn't worth keeping if I can't make calls.
She also said I should try to restore the phone and start from scratch and slowly add the apps back to find one that may be causing the problem. If that doesn't work, she suggested I take it to an Apple store to have it looked at.
I certainly hope I can find a troubled app becuase this is my second iPhone 4 and the first one did the same thing (it's one of the reasons I returned it). Issues like these are why I went to Apple products
I wish I had a better response for you Chatterbug and if I find one I'll repost. Please do the same.
