This is a strange bug.
In 3.0 i could talk with my sister which has a laptop with google talk.
With 3.1 she is not hearing me (no problem on her side, i tried with other PC and wtill not working) most of the time, if i drop the call/video and try again i have some possibilities it could work.
The microphone is working well, I try using the built in recorder and everything is fine.
I trien built in mic, cabled mic and even BT headset, still not working.
IS Anyone having the same problem?
nope im on 3.1. Ive done transformer to transformer and transformer to pc.

Haven't you heard the news?
You can't make audio/video calls on Skype yet, no microphone is supported as of today.
You can only use it for IM.
apk is here

It has been said a lot about those mics in that thread, but the OP made 2 different opinions about using skype. The other users only used those mics with Voice Recording(Tape-a-talk app I think), nobody was able to make a call with skype.
Could you please share your experience with the 3 pins microphone? (I haven't got any of them so I can't try)

Crashes for me as well. I was hopeful given the threads about 3 pin mic support. I have extra headsets--if you dm I'll send you one.
I only tried voice calling the Echo / Sound Test Service, and it doesn't crash. However, it does just hang up after it rings.
I was able to launch the Skype apk attached to this thread successfully. It allowed me to make an outgoing call with the Fire and using the Edutige EIM-001 mic, but it disconnected the call a second or two after I picked up the call on my cell. I wasn't able to hear my voice when I called my cell since it disconnected so quickly. Unfortunately this is a mic only with a TRRS connector so the speakers are disconnected when it is plugged in. I am going to do some tests to see if I can rig the mic to work without causing Fire speaker disconnect. I still have to test with Google Voice.
I would be interested to know about it very much. So far I have no luck to make a call using mic
I been working on the mic problem all night. So far I think this tablet is missing something. Skype loads but wen making a call it does not see a mic at all.
Changing settings I have got the mic to work with a recorder for a test done a 20 min voice test no problems at all. But other apps like talking tom so on give error of no mic found.
Still working on this but not seeing what the problem could be.

I have a successful call using Google Voice but unfortunately only one direction
I mean I could make a call and the other party could receive this call. The problem is that I could hear what that party talk but I can't get his voice. It looks that it works only incoming direction ... but it looks to me that mic itself is ok.
Anyone has has better experience?

What are the changes that you made? Were you using a standard headset mic?
Sounds promising....
I did no changes. I used mic: Universal 3.5mm In-Ear Stereo Headset w/ On-off & Mic for , HTC myTouch 4G Unfortunately I don't have enough technical knowledge to resolve the issue although it sounds promising
I was wondering if there was a way to use the tablets mic on PC for Skype.
Thanks for looking!
Also i am aware of the Skype App
I have and HD8 7th gen. It has been a while since i have owned a kindle. Amazon has improved it quite a bit, the only thing that I have wanted to do to it is I did sideload Google play store.
I have noticed that the Bluetooth audio connection stops every few minutes. I have to go to settings and disconnect the Bluetooth speaker then reconnect to get it going again.
Didn't find anything about this problem while searching, has anyone run into this?
same problem here, unfortunately no solution

You can use a wired audio jack instead of using Bluetooth connection.
Hi,
I bought a new bluetooth speaker of HP (S6500 Wireless Mini Speakers).
I was able to pair this with my FIRE HD 8 and listen music with youtube etc.,
But when I use Skype, the speaker is not working either for audio or for mic. When I change settings to Device speaker skype audio works back.
So, i would like to understand how to connect. Some where I read fire doesn't support BT Mic. But there should be some alternative i think like google play for fire.. Please help.
Can someone help??
This is surprising that no user in XDA has solution to Amazon fire Bluetooth problem......
