Microphone is not working when I use Skype, is this a common problem?

[Raul Nakasone]

I can't have a conversation using Skype, the other person can't hear me. It used to work just fine last week. Any help will be welcome. Thanks.

Mute button on?

Try an app like dictation or other voice enabled app to see if the mic is working...

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

When an app behaves strangely it is best to close it completely and then relaunch it. From the home screen do the four finger swipe up or double press the home button to reveal your multi task bar. These are all the apps that you have opened at one time. Long press the app until it jiggles and a red minus sign will appear above it. Press the minus sign, this will close the app, not delete it, now press the home button to return to your screen. It's also a good idea to close all these apps, as it helps the iPad run smoothly, let us know if this fixes the problem.

With new OS loaded to your Ipad:
- go to Settings
- choose Privacy
- choose Microphone
from Skype icon, turn on to make it green color.

Go back out, get into Skype and test it. I hope this will help.
Good luck.
