Sound issues using FaceTime on Mac!!

Bump Bump Bump

Running 10.6.8. MBP FaceTime to iPhone 4/4S, I can hear them, they can't hear me.

MBP FaceTime to iPad2, no issues.

Have yet to try MBP FaceTime to MBP FaceTime.

Haven't run into any issues with iPhone4/4S FaceTime to iPhone 4/4S FaceTime minus a sometimes the sound cuts in and out.

Apple, Resolution please!

I am able to use FaceTime on my iPhone just fine, but when I use it on my iMac Snow Leopard, it works for a while and then the sound goes out. Very annoying.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having this problem... has anyone tried to go to the apple store and fix it face to face? Maybe if the store was flooded with people experiencing the same problem they would do something about it.

Thanks ichatlover! I haven't had a problem since I tried your suggestion that was posted on 3/22/12.

+1 I bought a macbook air just for this purpose - contemplating returning it.

I think finally someone has come up with a real solution.

Bring your newly purchased device back to the Apple Store and tell them you want your money back unless

they figure out how to fix the problem.

Thankyou. I'm sure Steve would have thanked you too.

I too have this problem. I'm using a Macbook Air running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, calling iPad 2 and 3. Works fine for a while then sound cuts out so that they can't hear me. Restarting the app and the Mac seems to have little effect. So we just end up going back to Skype.

It's particularly infuriating because calling my parents, who are in their 70s, they think they are doing something wrong and every conversation ends with them faffing about with the device for 5 minutes and then saying goodbye in sign language. "just works"? hmmm.

Same issue here. MacBook Pro is out of warranty and can't call Apple. Really frustrated.

I am using the imac 2011 version OS Lion. I have problems with sound on FaceTime too. It will start to have sound problem (noise and fade) several minutes after start chat. I can plug in the earphone instead using speaker when it happens, then I get the sound back to normal. Sometimes, it will start to have problem again a while after using earphone, then I need to unplug it and use the speaker.

I think it is one way to sovle the problem not totally, but you can try, it may work for you too.

Apple pushed the new mountain lion out to get extra $$ instead of give a service pack to solve our problem!

Can anyone please check if this is still happening on Mountain Lion?

Thanks!

The wife and I tried it last night after downloading Mountain Lion onto my Mac Mini. She is using an iPad2 and the problem seemed to have gone away. This has been a problem from the start. This time the audio stayed great and I've had (knock on wood) no problems yet. YMMV

Good to hear! Anyone else?

I also upgraded a few nights ago. FT seems to work now. MacBook Air to both iPad2 and iTouch.

Well this is good news for those running dualcore 2 chipsets. It isn a fix. It's more like extortion.

Facetime is working perfectly on my brand new air running Lion 10.7.4. Hesitant to upgrade to Mountain Lion now... you know what they say about if it ain't broke...
