Why is the outgoing volume low on facetime?

When talking to people on facetime, they can barely hear me. Their volume as is mine is all the way up. Happens to multiple users. I have closed down facetime, and restarted it, I have turned off my device and back on as well. Still having this issue. Any ideas?

This is not macbook any model, it is for users with workstation towers

  • Why is the max volume so low on my ipod 6th gen

    why is the max volume so low on my ipod 6th gen

    Well, my volume control certainly does influence the start up chime and I cannot see why yours shouldn't.   Use keyboard buttons F11 and F12 to adjust your sound level last thing at night and if your machine auto starts in the morning it will not wake the household.
    True, if volume control is turned down to a lower level, you would have to adjust it for other sound output that you do want later, iTunes and videos on browsers etc, but it requires little effort.

  • Why is the speakerphone so low in iPhone 3GS?

    Why is the speakerphone so low in iPhone 3GS? I have a maximum volume still it is not clear, Is there a way to increase it by any other method?

    I have the same issue. Low volume while using speakerphone function. At 1' (30cm) it measures at almost half the dB of a blackberry pearl speakerphone. Basically renders the speakerphone function unusable in anything but the quietest environments, and even then its questionable. There are several people in the office I work at that have a 3G and 3GS phones. 3G phones tend to be a bit better but still quiet compared to Motorola, Nokia, and Blackberries. The other 3GS phones were just as bad as mine. This is definitely not a user error.

  • Why does the ringer volume display frequently on 3gs

    Why does the ringer volume keep displaying on my 3gs? Seems it may do this when the phone is picked up or shaken.

    This just happened to me today. The ringer volume display just remains on screen. Tried hard rese, nothing. It happened right after I dropped my 3GS - of which I've done many times but had not affected it because of the silicone case taking the brunt of the shock. Hope someone has a solution to this.

  • Why is the earpiece volume so low

    for some reason, I can barely head on my iphone ear piece. I have to use the speaker to hear anyone

    Yes, you can use the volume buttons on the left-hand side of the phone to raise/lower the volume while on speakerphone.  Is the volume all the way up?

  • Iphone 4: why is the ringtone volume louder than playing music?

    i have a custom ring tone on my i4. i just happened to realize this, but when i played a song from my phone in the ipod section, it doesn't sound as loud as the ringtone version of it.
    why. is. this??? oh please tell me there's a way to adjust the volume so the songs in my phones library can sound as loud as the ring tone. and i mean, it's considerably louder.
    why on earth don't the songs play that loud in the FIRST place???

    The song will fade out completely before the ringtone starts. On top of that you might have the vibration catching your attention and/or notice the display lighting up with the caller's info. Plus if you let it ring for some time the ringtone might loop, further catching your attention.
    Cheers

  • Why is the resolution so low when trying to display netflix content under Yosemite?

    I am using the new Safari that came with Yosemite to display content from netflix, but the new native mode resolution is much lower than what I was getting before with Mavericks and Silverlight.

    It doesn't work for me either with Firefox 15.0.1 under Linux.<br />
    It does work with Firefox 14 and Firefox 16 beta and later, but not with Firefox 15.0.1.<br />
    It freezes completely with that version and the only thing left is to kill that process.

  • Why does the iphone volume randomly gets turned off/down.

    Around 4-5 times a day I have noticed that the volume on my iPhone has been turned all the way down. Anyone have any suggestions what is doing it?

    well i just did two test videos.
    just like a while ago when I first encountered this issue.
    take a video with the volume buttons up = upside down when played in VLC
    take a video with the volume buttons down = normal.
    such a shame when they released the feature to use the volume button as a shutter button.
    this wouldn't be such a big deal if I could upload 1080p to YouTube from my phone. But NOOOO, but I have to first upload it to my computer, then upload it to YouTube, and thats where the problem comes to play.
    so whatever. ill just have to remember to take videos with the volume buttons down.

  • Why is the memory bandwidth low?

    I am very concerned about this, because I've also seen it in the EPoX NFORCE3-250 board. Using DDR400 the bandwidth should be about 3000MB/sec, but it is only at about 2650-2700. I hope this is another BIOS issue and it will be fixed.
    By the way, has anyone tried the initial BIOS of the K8N Neo PE board, that MSI gave to benchmark sites for reviews? I'm starting to be interested in it.

    Thanks you guys. It was the 2T/1T setting.
    However I'm disappointed now with my RAM that works in 1T setting only with 1 memory chip in SLOT 3. It's no problem of using 2 DS memory chips. The problem is that this RAM works at DDR400 only in SLOT 3. Same story was with my NFORCE2 mainboards.
    At 2T it even does above 220FSB (AT 2.70v), but the performance is quite lower. And it's not the best period of time to purchase RAM

  • Why is the contrast so low?

    I had my iPod contrast setting all the way up and it was ok for a while, but now the image is very very faint and I can barely make out what's on it. The contrast is at max, and reacts to being lowered. What's the problem? It keeps getting worse!

    It may be that the screen is dying, but first try restoring the iPod's OS:

  • Why is the startup volume invisible when booting MBP from Snow leopard disk?

    I loaded Snow Leopard onto a new harddrive. It boots and operates my MBP (April 2009) just fine but the drive icon does not show on the desktop. What gives?

    Hard drives don't show up automatically in Desktop, so you have to turn it on. Go to Finder menu > Preferences > General, and tick "Hard disks", so your hard disk will appear in the Desktop. You can do the same with external disks, DVDs, iPods, etc.

  • Why does the iPhone 4 need to send an SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?

    Hi there.
    I keep wondering why iPhone 4 need to send a international SMS to activate FaceTime when the iPad 2 doesn't?
    It cost's 2,50 dkr ($0.48) every time it does that.
    I have a mobile subscription where i get 5 hours talk time, Free SMS, Free MMS, Free talk to all with same subscription and 5GB data for 129 dkr/month ($24.77).
    But the internation SMS is not free.
    And it really bugs me that my danish iPhone has to send an SMS to England to acticate FaceTime that i only can use on WiFi.
    I also have a iPad 2 (WiFi model), and it can activate FaceTime fine via WiFi. So why can't the iPhone 4 do that?
    I really really need a good explanation to why i have to pay to activate FaceTime.
    Why can't you make local numbers to send the SMS too, or do it via WiFi just like the iPad 2.
    The strangest this is that you have to be on WiFi to use FaceTime, so why use the mobile network to activate FaceTime?

    Where are you, what network are you on and where did you get your phone?
    The fact that it uses SMS isn't really the issue here and no-one on this forum can answer the "why" question. We are end users, not Apple. The accepted answer is if it's going to tie facetime to your phone number (which it does) then that's the way it's got to work.
    The puzzling part is why it would be sending one to England... unless of course, you purchased the phone in the UK and actually live in another region entirely.

  • Why is the Lumia Icon's ringtone lower than when previewing the ringtone in settings/system/ringtone sounds? (The volume is set at 30 in all cases.)

    Why is the Lumia Icon's (929) ringtone lower than when previewing the ringtone in settings/system/ringtone+sounds? (The volume is set at 30 in all cases.)

    Hello Lena,
    Yes, tried all those things.
    After going back and forth with Verizon's "tier 2" technical support over the last 2 days, a chat session with Nokia, no call-backs-as-promised by your technicians, then having them reinstall the phone's software -that didn't fix the problem. So they are sending me a re-manufactured replacement phone. But not a NEW ONE, because I didn't realize the problem within 14 days. You see at first, I just figured the phone had lousy volume, until I was previewing ringtones when setting the alarm clock. The phone is about one and a half months old. I have expressed my desire that a NEW phone be sent, but NO says Verizon.
    I've spent enough time, in good faith, Verizon would solve this matter, but in the process of their re-installing the software they've screwed up Backup Assistant.
    Thanks.

    Are you also using the same Apple ID for FaceTime, as listed under Settings > FaceTime?
    If so, don't.  While it's perfectly okay to share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, you shouldn't share an Apple ID with another person for the following:
    iCloud
    FaceTime
    Messages
    Use a unique personal Apple ID.  Whoever is the actual owner of the current Apple ID needs to keep using that.  The other person needs to make their own Apple ID, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime & Messages.  Maybe even Game Center to be on the safe side.
