FaceTime not listed for microphone access in settings/privacy/microphone. What is fix?

Can not use FaceTime because it cannot access the microphone. FaceTime is not listed in the settings/privacy/microphone so it will not allow the use of the mike. Video works great! What is the fix?

iPad, iPhone OS 3.0

Settings - Messages - turn iMessage OFF

Sign out of Find iPhone

Sign out of iCloud


Do a forced restart - After shutting down all open apps using the app switcher - invoked by quick double press of the home button and swiping up on each app till it flies off the screen.

Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons down together till you see  logo - then release and allow normal boot up


Then sign back into everything and turn iMessage ON

Just your basic trouble shooting. Reset, reset all settings, restore.

Reset. Press and hold both the home an power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait until your iPad starts on it's own.

Reset all settings. Go to settings> general> reset> reset all settings. Be sure you have your wifi password handy, you'll need to re-enter it.

Restore. I don't have a clue, sorry.


Edit.

Talk about luck. The link to the Restore article is at the top of the page. I think it's about time I learnt that step. 🙂
