Low Sound input/output levels

[RonaldH]

Skype to Apple users ... they complain that my sound to them is low, even when their tablet is at max volume. Is this a recognised problem of the Nexus 7 tablet and is there some way I can test its microphone output level other than (say) using 'Easy Voice Recorder' where the volume of my recorded voice is OK.

I have this 'low volume' comment from 2 different Apple Tablet users.

I don't use Skype but have used Hangouts for making phone calls with my Google voice # with no complaints. Remember the mic is on the side of the tablet so make sure you're not covering it with one of your fingers.

Thanks for your comment.I am aware of the mic position. Since I can 'record' at good levels, it could be something to do with the Skype or Apple settings. I will try to find a friend with Skype on Microsoft or Android to run a comparison.
