Why is my microphone not working on my iPod 5

So I have a calling app and was just about to call my boyfriend but when I did call him it wouldn't work... So I was like "oh it must be the app" so I tried using Siri and still nothing it wouldn't hear me... So I went to the recording in app from apple but still nothing... I tried turning it off and back on but nothing... Can I please know what's wrong with it and what is it that I can do to make it work again...?

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- 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.

Why exchange email will not work on my ipod touch, but ok on iphone

Why will microsoft exchange email not work on my ipod touch, but with the exact same settings, it works fine on my iphone? What is the reason for this?

Try a soft reset, press and hold both power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 15 seconds, then release both. If still no joy, go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, back up your iPod to your computer then do a Restore to Backup, if that doesn't work Restore to new through iTunes. If a full restore to new does not work, you may have a hardware issue, contact Apple Genius Bar to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

Why does Apogee Jam not work with the Ipod Touch 4G

Hi,
I have a Apogge Jam an it works fine with my Mac Book, but it does not seem to be compatible with my Ipod Touch 4g.
Only the Gibbson L&M app recognize the Apogee Jam, but no other App (Ampkit, ....) :-((
With the IPhone 4 it shall work, can tell me anybody why Apogee Jam is not compatible with the Ipod Touch 4g (
although the Gibson-App works)?
Is there perhaps still other Apps which work with the Ipod Touch and Apogge Jam?
Thanks
Michael

I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5. If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

Why is my microphone not working only when making calls ?

Hello all,
I have a problem with my Lenovo S930 Smartphone to fix urgently.
(MTK6582 Quad Core 1.3GHz Android 4.2)
The microphone is not working when making calls (so people don't hear me talking.)
But strangely the microphone is working perfectly when recording videos.
It seems to me like a application problem but I am no android specialist
Where can I get help ? What can I do ?
thanks in advance for your support
Jean-Francois

Go to settings>backup & reset...there should be a factory reset option.
*Note: Settings names and location are firmware build number dependent.
**Backup anything important first.
Hope this helps.

Why is my microphone not working?

A real novice here... Microphone is not working for any application. Not sure what to do/check.

That's certainly a question we want to answer and find a resolution for, kellydarlene. What make and model phone do you have? Are you trying to use the microphone for a call or voice-to-text or other functions on the phone?

Why does itunes 7 not work with my ipod!?

I am able to oberlook the fact that whenever i plug my 60 gb ipod colour into a pc it doesnt work, and often messes up the pc.
But why do i now find that when i plug it into my own pc it wont work with itunes 7, when i googled this problem it seemed ALOT of other people have similar problems, if this is true why has nothing been done??? and why did apple even release this version of itunes if it doesnt work?!
Please please please resolve this or tell me a way i can fix it.
I have tried installing older versions of itunes but my ipod just wont work with them, and when i try to restore it it says that my ipod cannot be restored or isnt supported by this application.
I cannot be the only person to think that someone seriously dropped the ball here.
Please help!

I've also tried uninstalling iTunes and everything iPod related - then reinstalled everything...still my iPod will not connect to iTunes. Oh and by-the-way, uninstalling iTunes (suck-eggs) 7.0 and then installing iTunes 6.0 will not work because once you install the SUCK-EGGS version, an older version can not read the libraries and therefore can not open! Who said Apple doesn't create PC-like operational blackholes?!?!? Someone please help! I'm gonna call Apple...I'll keep you posted.

Why do some headphones not work in my iPod 4th gen.?

I got new earbuds for Christmas but when I put them in my iPod it sounds weird. It like remove the vocals and it plays them in the background really soft and the bass plays really loud over them. Other headphones work fine in my iPod and these work fine in other things so what's the problem.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
- Otherwise their either a problem with the headphone or the jack in the iPod

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Why iPhone 6 Plus sound microphone not working, but in the case of sound recordings in conversation mode work?

Sighhhh, wasted so much time yesterday and today going around Sony centre and then carphone warehouse. They told me to come back after Easter.
I came home, banged the phone against the wall and it worked.
Turned out that mic was working on loud speaker and when using headphones so I thought that the secondary mic is working and the main one (placed with the speakers) isn't. So I banged that part against the wall slightly (in plastic case to prevent scratches) then put the phone underwater, waited for it to dry and now it's working. Idk how well and if it's of perfect quality again but people can hear me well.

Why can the microphone not be working when I speak normally and be working when I use the speakerphone?

why can the microphone not be working when I speak normally and be working when I use the speakerphone?
anyone has had the same problem? Thank you!!!

Apple confirmed, it is an iphone 4S feature, that is intended for our 'benefit'. It is being solved by each of us using headphones to over-ride the muting function.

Microphone not working on iphone

Microphone only works when on speaker phone.

Hi,
I had the same issue here. bottom microphone not working on my iPhone4. tested an dtried some different apps and came up with the following:
during voice call: bottom mic not working
during facetime: YES other side can hear me
memorecorder: YES sound is recorded
video: YES sound is recorded
I've searched around the web and the apple support pages, and found some simple options to be taken to resolve the issue:
1 clean out the 2nd (noise cancellation) microphone (which is the little pinhole right beside the earphone jack)
2 restart the device (eliminating virtually all software / app malfunctions)
3 reset network settings in settings menu (eliminating network issues)
4 full factory reset on iPhone4 (make sure to back it up properly before) (why should this be the resolution if the restart didn't do it before?).
5 open up the backside and insert a little piece of cardboard (about 160gr/m2) as per the attached video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jhWxYTVxe4&feature=related
6 go to the apple store / make an appointment with the genius bar
neither 1, 2 nor 3 resolved my issue with the bottom mic during voice calls (I still could hear the other side, they could here nothing, or some static and crackling from my side). as gathered the 4th possiblity would not to make the difference (i got convinced this was more a hardware than software issue), i jumped to option 5.
AND IT WORKS NOW!!! yippieeeee (what would an iPHONE be if you can't call....)
all you need is a steady hand, good eyes and a ph00 or ph000 screwdriver.

Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen.
I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

Hey ajun,
Thank you very much for the information!
For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
Good luck, and have a great day!
