Since updating to iOS 7.0.3 I can no longer use the microphone which is problematic for video recording, Siri and a couple of apps my daughter uses. I have the apps ok'd through settings-privacy-microphone so that's not the issue. What else can I do?
iPad 2, iOS 7.0.3
Turning on Siri should turn on the microphone. Then a microphone icon appears at the bottom left of every keyboard.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
Neither of those helped, but thank you for replying. I suspect its a problem with the new operating system.
I m also having the same problem of microphone not working in my ipad 2 after ios7.0.3 update. It's not working for Skype , facetime, video recording. The microphone settings is on. Please suggest.
Me too, can anyone help please
Yes I have the same issue...Loads of people are talking about it, so I'm sure Apple will send out a fix in due course...that's my hope anyway
I thought that perhaps Apple would do something about it as well, since it seems to be such a common problem. But this is the response I just got from Apple tech support:
"Software updates would not effect hardware really , the update would be coincidental to the mic going out honestly. A firmware update would be different but just a new OS will not cause hardware failure."
I said that in reading the Apple Support communities this seems to be a very common problem, and I was told that they're sorry, they can't help me with a bad mic on a product that is out of warranty. Way to stand behind your product, Apple! 😟 I understand electronics aren't going to last forever, but I DO expect higher priced items to have a longer life.
Same problem here, tried reboot, made sure permissions were on in settings, still no microphone. I don't see how apple can say it's not because of the update to ios7 when so many have had the same problem. Hey Apple, time to own up and fix this.

How many are "so many?"
I you google (microphone not working ios7) you will see plenty.

You'll also see plenty if you Google "earth is flat."
Again, how many is "so many?"
Just stating how it is, no need to be an ***.

You're correct. I'm just stating how it is and there is no need for you to be an ***.
