Volume change sound effect won't stop

So I changed my preferences and unticked the "Play feedback when volume is changed" option. Basically all is good for a while then a week or two later I'll realise the sound effect is back when I change the volume. But the option remains unticked in preferences.
Anyone else having this problem?

Simple, the device even if off can pick up signal noise from any other device or items. Stereo speakers have in the past gave off a whirl sound from radio stations, police and cb radios, high frequency pick up is not unheard of. There are cases where radio receivers have picked up cross talk while off.
With computers broadcasting on the 2.4 and 5.0 frequency many times microvave ovens, other electrical items can cause the sound the original poster complains about. (Chirping) Cell phones are just radio transmitting and receiving devices.
You don't need a 500 foot antenna to pick up sounds. Even if the phone is off it has an internal antenna.
interference is quite possible, and frankly there are not many people posting about radio chirping to believe its nothing but interference .

  • When using side buttons, volumes says sound effects

    Not sure what happened here.  Is it a mistake by a 3 year old or a bug issue.  Started about a month ago that when i open apps that have sound the volume goes mute, meaning sound and keyboard and lock too.  Even when i close the app down and open say a video type app, there will be no sound.  I will push the side buttons and the gray box that should say volume says sound effect.  I have already done the reset with holding home and lock buttons, can't remeber how many times.  I have also reset the iPad,  i have synced it too.  Please help

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

    It's just the Google homepage tribute to Pacman turning 30 today. A playable game starts up automatically, use the arrow keys to move Pacman. It's fun!
    You can get Ms Pacman to appear in that game by clicking the "insert coin" button twice and using the WASD keys to move :)
    You can also just change your homepage to something other than google until tomorrow.

    Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
    You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
    If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
    There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

  • How to Change the Volume Changing Sound

    How can I change the volume changing sound? I don't want to turn the sound off but I dislike the sound it makes when the volume changes currently.

    Eireannsg1 wrote:
    Yea, that reason sounds silly.
    There are always 1001 reasons why it isnt being done because someone just doesnt WANT to do it.
    It only sounds silly to you because you don't really understand the reasoning - obviously. Back in the days of CEP, this software did have a direct link to whatever mixer was being used - almost invariably the internal Windows one. And it was removed. A lot of sound devices simply don't provide links into their mixer panels any more - you run them standalone. On top of that, sound devices these days don't always use the same driver system, and also a lot of devices access Audition by external linking software, like ASIO4ALL. All of these things combined make it not as simple as you seem to think to implement something like this.
    So it's not a case of no-one wanting to do it - it was actively removed, because strictly speaking it's not something that Audition should be legitimately addressing. Audition is an editor, and multitrack system, not a machinery controller. That's why its internal mixer is a purely virtual device, and has no direct influence on any of the hardware, except to determine the available inputs or outputs that it addresses.
    So typically with the devices I use, if I want to control the physical attributes of them I leave their control panels open, almost invariably on a second monitor. And that is entirely sufficient.

  • Why does I pad volume show sound effects not volume

    My I pad used to show volume control now it shows sound effects.  Also keyboard clicks not working

    All these effects are part of the loops in the iLife Sound effects loop package, that was a part of the application bundle iLIfe '11 (iPhoto. iMovie, GarageBand '11).  These loops are neither installed by GarageBand 10.0 or GarageBand '11, nor MacOs X, you need an iLife '11 installer disk to get these loops.
    And GarageBand 10 also does not have the Sound Effects instruments any longer, that let you drag samples onto keys. It is one of the sorely missed features, that have been discontinued in the new version GarageBand 10. even if you install the previous version, GarageBAnd '11, to add the Sound effects instrument to GarageBand 10. it will not work properly, because GarageBand 10 will not save the custom instrument with the samples. You will have to complete your song in one session, without quitting GarageBand.
    You may want to send feedback to the Apple Developers about these missing features with a feature request:   Apple - GarageBand Mac- Feedback

  • Volume change sound Stopped Working! HELP!

    For some reason out of the blue...the sound i hear when I turn the volume up or down on my mac suddenly stopped playing
    I went to System Prefrences > Sound and tried everything but i cannot get that feature back..and i did not even disable it!

    after an OS update, sometimes rarely a SMC reset needs to be made
    reset it:
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • HTC One is making a faint "chirping" sound and won't stop.  Please help.

    And did I mention that I just got this phone today after exchanging it for the one I got last week that had the same problem.  The people at the Verizon store heard the chirping and had no clue.  So, they just gave me a new phone.  Now this new one is doing the same thing and it doesn't stop...even when turned off.  I've uninstalled or disabled all the apps I could.  I've even turned off the quick boot function after reading a similar problem was happening with the HTC DNAs.  Any ideas out there?

    Simple, the device even if off can pick up signal noise from any other device or items. Stereo speakers have in the past gave off a whirl sound from radio stations, police and cb radios, high frequency pick up is not unheard of.

  • Flash Effect Won't Stop

    Could someone please explain how to stop the flash effect from showing up in every frame? I used it once, and each new movie I make using still images, the flash effect is added. I can't find an option to turn it off. Thanks.

    Hi, I noticed your thread. Did you know you are on the Flash Player Forum that is for the browser plugins?
    I'm not even sure which Adobe Forum would be the best but you can choose from here:

  • IChat AV effects won't stop

    I am running iChat AV 4.05 on a Titanium powerbook, OS 10.5.5. My video camera is linked by firewire. When I have a video chat, everything works well EXCEPT that iChat runs its effects, one after another, and sometimes drops in a random background. I can't find a command to turn this off and the "show video effects" command is greyed out. I've searched here but not found any answer to this, please forgive if this is an old issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I spoke too soon. Now the picture is "shaking its head" from side to side, then grey screen, then black screen, now bouncing, black and white, grainy fade-in, curtains opening, pixelated fade-out.....
    showing me all its stuff. My understanding is that since I have a powerpc and no Photobooth I shouldn't even have access to the effects! What gives?

  • Tried reset, taking off case, no Bluetooth but sound effects keeps appearing in middle of screen. If I turn down volume it goes away but then comes back. Sometimes immediately. Sometimes in 5 minutes. Am not touching anything on side of iPad at the time

    Cannot get sound effects icon to stop coming on.   When I turn down the volume, the icon goes off briefly and then it comes back on at full volume and stays in the middle of the screen, until I click the volume down again.  Doesn't help to reset, the case is not on and it still does this. Most annoying.

    Tried any basic troubleshooting steps?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

  • My volume button became sound effects, no sound at all

    Can anyone help me with my ipad2, my button volume became Sound Effects label, and my iPad has no sound at all.

    Hello Skeetercove,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue of having no audio output from your iPad's speakers.  Please note that even though the steps state it's for iPhone, the same applies to your iPad.
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.

  • Loss of sound effect when changing volume.

    Hi there,
    I have just purchased a Macbook Pro and everything was going well until I noticed that when I changed the volume using the F11 and F12 keys, the sound effect would no longer be produced. I have been through Sounds in System Preferences and checked all the settings are correct, even the 'play feedback when volume is changed' option is checked. All I have been doing so far is using iTunes and using the internet. I also loaded djay but I don't think this would have anything to do with it. Please help.

    iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted.  When you re-enabled photo stream you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.
    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    However, to avoid losing photo stream photos, before deleting the account save them to your camera roll (if not already there).  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Be sure to do this on your other devices first.
    To get the missing photos back on your iPod, create a shared photo stream that includes them on one of your other devices and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

  • Turn off sound effects for iTunes volume changes?

    I've started getting audible squirt-noises each time I use the F9 or F10 or F11 keys to raise or lower iTunes volume. How I go back silent changes?
    I've checked iTunes help and Googled a few things and unchecked all the sound effects in Apple System Preferences but no luck. I want to keep using the keys, not the slider.
    Thank you

    Did you mean to ask this in the Tiger OS forum? Your computer information says you are running Leopard. I can request this post be moved to the correct forum.
    In Tiger you can toggle "play feedback when volume is changed" in the System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects preference pane.
