iPad mic problems.

[Farneyman]

For some reason the mic on my iPads no longer working. As a result I can't use Skype. Anyone have any similar problems or know what may hav happened. My four has use of it and may have switched something off but I can't seem to fix it.

Ta in advance.

found this after a google search, might help.


I just got the fix from posters on the Apple forums. My mic hadn't been working for 2 months. The problem isn't skype, or Facetime, it's the mic. Vacuum the mic opening using the crevice tool on your vacuum cleaner, getting as tight a suction as possible, using fingers to block spaces if necessary. You may have to hold it there as long as 30 seconds, but it worked for me in no more than 5 seconds of vacuuming. On the iPad 2, the mic opening is a tiny slot on the very edge of the iPad case, near the camera. Not easy to find, but once found, easily fixed!

If you are skypeing an android from an ipad the sound does to work. Something they are aware of but have not fixed. Skype that is
