FaceTime sound stops working while talking

I tried running permissions too. Didn't help. I think it's more like tossing a folder and having the app create a new one. Either that or tossing the whole app and downloading it again only just tossing the app without all the essential folders might with it might be in vain too.

I was wondering how the fix you ran is working? I

I just experienced for the first time on my iPad 2 Facetime losing my voice after about 6 minutes.

I never thought the mobil devise was compromised until now. I just thought it was the app on the imac etc.

So how do you reboot Facetime on an iPad?

Has anyone been able to elimnate the possibility that your router or isp is not the problem? I am using a D-Link (DIR655) router with comcast/affinity as my isp and am having the same problem. BUT - when I am not at home, my audio has not been a problem. Maybe a coincidence???

May be coincidence, but I'm also on Comcast. Anyone else?

I have the same problem and am also on Comcast

Back to having this problem. I have Comcast too. Makes FaceTime useless when sound cuts out all the time.

I'm having the same issue on my iMac running snow leopard. I have switched ISPs (from Comcast to Clear) and can confirm it is independent of the ISP.

Anybody else come up with anything? I'm thinking about upgrading to Lion, hoping that will take care of it. Anybody tried this?

Still having the same problem. I'm sure it's nothing to do with my ISP - I'm with BE Unlimited and Skype works fine, it's only Facetime and specifically, only from the iMac - it's absolutely ok on the iPhone.

Could it be because I'm still on Snow Leopard?

I stopped by an Apple store today and asked about this issue. The specialist was puzzled. He said he'd never heard of this problem. I have been experiencing this issue when I FaceTime from my iMac with my sister who is using her iPad2. At first she would lose my audio after we had been chatting for a while then, I discovered that if I try to FaceTime her after my computer had been on for a while, (even a couple hours) she couldn't hear me unless I shut my computer down and try again. I have updated my software to Lion OSX and it did nothing to fix the problem. I have not had this issue with my iPhone 4s, and on several occasions I have had to end my FaceTime chat and use my 4s over the same WiFi connection in my home (AT&T). The specialist at the Apple store suggested I bring my computer in to have the issue diagnosed which I will be doing this week.

Same exact issue here. I think it's SL related as I don't have this issue on my Lion Mac...

I've had same problem with facetime calls between imac and ipad 2, ipad 2 user can't hear me after a few minutes of call. when I factime iphone users I don't have any problems at all.

Same here. It is driving me crazy. I have only noticed it the past couple weeks or so. Either that or it has been getting more frequent. It happens on my wife's mid-2009 13" MacBook Pro. I can't hear her after a couple minutes. If she quits FaceTime and restarts, that will fix it for a few minutes. Doesn't matter whether she's calling my iPhone 4S or my early 2011 15" MBP. She's running Snow Leopard. My MPB has Lion.

Having the same issue. Thought it was my iPad, but only have the problem when communicating with my wife's MacBookPro (2007?) running Snow Leopard. When she uses Facetime, her audio drops out after a few minutes.

Hi All... I am also having this sound issue, running Snow Leopard on a 2010 i5 macbook pro, maxed out with 8gb RAM and 1tb HD, everything on my mac runs fine (apart from an over sensitive touch pad which seems to push all apps off screen randomly), but I use this mac professionally everyday. The sound problem is SOOOO FRUSTRATING as I use both Facetime and Skype to communicate with family and friends across Europe.

As discussed throughout this article, the usual problems arise, conversation starts fine, then the recipient cannot hear my sound, usually after 10 minutes or so, then more frequently after that, until it does not work at all (during the same session). I have run disc utililty and repared permissions (whatever that is) and also experimented with the volume. No luck.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Cheers, Rob.

This same thing happens on Ipad to Itouch as well as Ipad to other Macs. However, it works just fine when talking Ipad to Ipad.
