Can sound effects in game apps be fixed?

I have a few game an puzzle apps.  The sound affects that come with them have stopped.  I had tinkered with my sound settings before this, but tried backtracking without success to fix it.  e.g. Angry birds, shanghai, shape puzzles.  Any solutions?

You probably have system sounds muted.
First check the side switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control. Try flipping the switch the other way. If you see the speaker icon when you flip that switch it was set to mute system sounds.
If that switch locked the screen, then do this. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. Swipe all the way to the right in the task bar. Look all the way on the left side and see if there is a speaker icon there. If so, tap it and see if the system sounds come on again.
You can set the side switch to either mute system sounds or to lock the screen. Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation or Mute. Whichever function you choose for the side switch, the other function will be available in the task bar.

  • The sound effects on my apps have quit. How do I fix this?

    The sound effects on my apps have quit. How do I fix this?

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.

  • No sound effects on games or keyboard sound since downloaded 8.1.3 this morning on iPad airanyone any ideas pl ? 

    no sound effects on games or keyboard click since downloading 8.1.3 this morn. At first no sound on anything then played about in setting and switched off and now no sound effects despite being on full volume. If I reset will I lose my games pl ?

    I Think you have system sounds muted. Don't reset anything just yet.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.

    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7 or 8. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.

  • Can't play videos and can't open Xbox games apps o...

    I have a Nokia lumia 800 and for some reason it won't let me play videos, whether it be my own or YouTube. It also won't let me open my Xbox games app and I have no idea as to why or how to fix it, can anyone help?
    Moderator's note: Your post was edited. More appropriate title was provided.

    I have a related problem: when I registered my Nokia Lumia 520 in Denmark, I also set my location on Xbox.com to Denmark. However, every time I tap the tile for office 365 I get shunted to a US registration site, and my location is listed as US! I have tried several times to reset my location, both on the Xbox.com site from a PC, and from my phone, but the same error happens every time...and I still don't have access to office 365!

    Hi PaigeH840,
    Thanks for posting and welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    Regarding your concern, are you getting any error message everytime you try playing a video? Also, when playing a YouTube video, what connection are you using? Is the phone connected to a WiFi or it's using the Network Data services? If you are using Data, try connecting the phone to WiFi and see if it fix the problem.

  • TS1702 I lost all sound in my game apps why?

    I lost all sound on all my game apps why?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    IDT Audio Installer - Windows 7.
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold  down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

  • How can i save itunes game apps to an external hard drive?

    Do a Time Machine backup to an external drive. It backs up everything.
    Instead of restoring from time machine backup, go into time machine and drag out the things you want to restore.

  • No sound w/any game apps. Suggestions?

    All games I've downloaded  open w/o sound.  Volume works fine w/music, videos, youTube, etc. Suggestions?

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and its the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • TS3274 Can not get my sound to work on games apps

    Can anyone help. Cannot get any sound on my games apps, I think my son has had his hands on it again. It has happened once before but I can not remember how to switch it back on.
    PLEASE HELP
    THANKYOU
    MIKE

    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.)
    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.

  • Can i use purchased sound effects off iTunes in an iOS app? - copyright issue

    basically I'm making an iOS app, and i need a sound effect that i purchased off the iTunes store, aka from some company. Can i use this sound effect in my app without being sued a lot of money? If i payed for the file i should be okay correct?

    Hello Aidan,
    Here is the statement from the Terms and Conditions of the iTunes Store:
    "You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use."
    We do not give legal advice on this Forum, but I think the statement is pretty clear.

  • The sound on all my game apps is gone.  What can I do?

    The sound or my game apps is suddenly gone. It seems to be working on other apps. It is not working for my keyboard either. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Someone said to make sure the side button is set to rotation and not mute in settings. I did and it was on mute. Don't know how this changed, but I was glad to fix it!
