SKYPE, no outgoing sound, iPAD Wireless only

[Caharo]

When doing the test call with Skype I can here the operator's voice (incoming) but not mine (outgoing).
I cannot find any settings to address this!?

Several members have had this problem and the 'cure' below seems to work (but also check you haven't got the Skype 'Mute' control activated!)


The easiest first way to try to solve ‘unexplained’ or ‘unusual’ problems with the iPad are:-

Force the offending app to close. If you have iOS 4.2 or 4.3 double-press the ‘Home’ button to bring up the multi-task bar at the bottom of the screen. Press *and hold* any icon until they start to ‘jiggle’. Then tap the top left-hand corner of the app that you want to close. It will ‘disappear’ from the list. Don’t panic - you’ve not deleted it, just closed it. Now tap the Home screen and the multi-task bar will disappear. Re-open the iPad’s app and see if the problem has resolved itself. If not, it’s on to possible solution number two!!
Restart the iPad. Press *and hold* the Power button. After a couple of seconds a slider control will appear asking you to confirm that you really want to switch the iPad off (this is all you’ll be doing). Slide the control to accept. A rotating white ‘bezel’ will appear in the iPad screen as the iPad powers down (it takes a few seconds, just like it would if you were shutting down your PC). When the screen of the iPad has gone completely blank, press *and hold* the Power button for a couple of seconds until the white Apple logo appears and the iPad starts to power up. This takes several seconds, so be patient. During the power up the automatic screen orientation function is disabled, so don’t panic. A few seconds before the power up is complete, the iPad plays a little ‘jingle’ and then you’re back to the Home screen. Restart the iPad’s app and see if the problem persists. Apple (and Forum members) recommend that you power down your iPad at least once a week, just as you might regularly completely switch off your PC. The normal procedure of just briefly pressing the Power button of the iPad merely puts it to ‘sleep’. Most Forum members have found that one of the two methods I’ve mentioned here cure a whole bunch of unexplained problems and are an easy first step to resolving most anything that happens on the iPad.

Solution 1 did not help however, solution 2 did!
Thank you very much, Tim.

I have an iPad 2 with the new iOS and the latest version of Skype which has this issue - no outgoing audio. Neither of these solutions works, and it is not the Skype mute. Anyone have any more ideas?

I am a new user and haven't found out how to ask a question yet, but I have the same problem with Skype and now Facebook. I have powered down and deleted the skype app and reinstalled. Both used to work fine. I don't have the mute button on.

I've been having this sound problem several times.. I missed my teacher's calls a lot and it kind of frustrating me. Sometimes i have to wait several hours in front of the ipad just to make to sure that i don't miss any of those calls ( and end up, not being called, hahaha ) But at the same time, i don't want to waste my time waiting..
I think i've tried solution number one but nothing changed. I'm going to try solution number two. I'll let you know if it works.
Thanks man..

Did you close the app from the Multi task bar? Do you have lots of apps and folders and just having trouble finding it again?

If you've done it from the main screen, you would have deleted it. Just do a Search for it......if on IOS7 swipe down on the middle of your screen to reveal the Search feature.....if on an earlier OS just press the home button twice or swipe as far to the right as you can go and the Search feature is found here. Type it in and it should appear. If not, then you have deleted it and will need to download it again. Hope this helps.

I found something under purchased in the App Store. It's got a cloud next to it. If I click on it to download, does it use my 3G data or should I wait for hi fi connection? Thanks for your help.

Yes, it will use 3G data to download it again. I would wait until you are on wifi if you don't have a large data allowance.

Let us know how you go when you do have a chance to download it again!

Happy Holidays!
