Can't hear chat notification sounds

I'm having a related issue. I just upgraded and it didn't resolve it. When I log in, I'm getting the log-in sound, but I'm not longer getting chat notification sounds at all. I went through the preferences and made sure there were all correct.
Even in the Prefererences drop down, when I hit Details and select "Sign-In" and change the sound, it plays a test sound. But when I "New Messages Received In Current Conversation" and select a new sound, nothing is played.
Please help!

Hi,
I am having the same problem. I also use MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013, running on OS X 10.9.5. (latest)
I am running the latest update I have available to me on skype as well: 6.19.
And no, my notifications are not set at Do Not Disturb. Everything in this section is left unchecked.
All my sound preferences in System Preferences are where they should be. Selected Sound Output Device, Alert Volume all the way up, everything checked.
In the notification center, it is also checked off to play sound notifications for Skype.
In terms of Skype, all that is supposed to be checked off is. In Notifiation overview: Play sounds related to calls, play sounds related to messages are on while stop notifications why recording or sharing screens is NOT checked (just in case).
In Details, First Message of Conversation & New Message in Recent Conversation: Play sound, bounce icon & display visual notification is on.
Also, New Message in Current Conversation has play sound & bounce icon on.
For a while now, I hear the ring tone when someone is calling, but no sound in any type of message, first message, new message in recent convo, etc. Nothing. Not when I'm full screen with the video, not one when I'm toggled onto Skype, and not when skype is in the background.
Please help! It is driving me nuts! I'm pretty sure its a glitch, but I am hoping it can be fixed!
Also, on a side note, someone mentioned this is the thread, and it is very true: people who are off line appear to be online ALL the time. It does not log them off like it should, and when you call it just never connects.

You should turn off "Auto input monitoring". I only have L8 and there you find it under Options->audio->Auto Input monitoring. Would guess that its in the same place in L9

When I call I can't hear the ringing sound or the other person talking to me unless I have the headset plugged in or when I have it on speaker. Help please !

Mine does this intermittently. Occasionally after dialing the number, I can’t hear anything. I routinely have re-dial and sometimes this does not work either. Sometimes if I close all applications, including the dialer, then restart the dialer, it will work again. Sometimes I have to close all programs and restart the phone. It’s definitely frustrating.

The only option you have is to put the phone on mute using the side control when you answer the phone.

Can't hear "new email" sound on MacBook Pro

This just started recently...
The first time I open up Mail, it usually makes a sound for new mail. When I leave it open and more new emails come in over the day, I never hear the sound.
Again, this problem only started maybe a week ago.
I have a MacBook Pro connected to a Thunderbolt display. My sound output is set to go through my display audio. Sound works fine using Spotify, etc...goes through display audio.
Thoughts?

TS4002 How can I get a notification sound when an email arrives?

I am using Safari and icloud to manage and check emial. I am not receiving a notification sound. How can I get an audiable sound to alret me?

Thank you. I meant new mail alert sound, but I didn't word it right I just want to know when new mail comes in, but its not happening. I have done different methods, including the one you suggest, but it will alert sometimes and most of the times it doesn't. For a while when I got my phone (Iphone4) and downloaded IOS6 it worked. It stopped working when I had to reset my phone to factory settings a week ago.
IOS has been updated and I have the latest software,. but it will not alert me each time I get mail. In few occassions I get the Ding of new mail, but for 15 mails I get maybe 2.
Thanks for replying to my question

After updating my ipad2, i can't hear the the sounds when using YouTube or Skype ..but can able to hear them when I'm using FaceTime.

Sound ID A2DP Problem - Can't Hear Ringtones, Alerts, Sounds in speaker

I just bought a Sound ID 510. Can't review much yet, but it's comfortable as ****.
Anyway, I upgraded the firmware so that I can use the A2DP. Well, it works...sort of. I mean, I can listen to music through it just fine. However, once the AD2P is on, I can't hear ANY sounds from my iPhone 4, except via the headset. I don't wear my constantly, and so that means my phone is effectively silent. Ok, so that's not such a big deal. I'll just turn the A2DP off when I'm done with it....well, that works, EXCEPT when the phone connects to the headset, it automatically goes into A2DP mode and then I have to open the iPod app and turn it off.
Are there not any other A2DP controls on the iPhone 4? This *****. If I can't fix it, I'll downgrade the headset and go without the A2DP, or I'll just return it.

I recommend you check that the phone is not set to silent mode. The silent switch is on the left side of the phone. When set to silent an orange dot is visible. Verify your sound settings in the settings menu. Raise the volume using the up/down volume buttons on the left side of the phone. Then reboot the phone if that doesn't help.
Are you using headphones? Bluetooth adapter?

How can I disable the notification sound for remaining credit messages

My operator sends me a message after every call and text which tells me what remains of my monthly allowances. This is very useful and I don't want to turn it off. I've just got myself a Z10 and the only thing that annoys me about it is that I have not yet found out how to disable the notification sound for this type of message. The device is stock with the latest firmware and no apps.
I can change the notification for normal text messages in the settings, but there is no obvious entry to change for these messages. Does anyone know how to do it?

If the message comes in the (bell) notifications it can only be switched OFF globally.
If it is a text message, you can create a contact with the number, then Setting - Notifications - Contacts - Customise - Phone Calls, Email Messages, Text Messages, Other Messaging

N8 - Can you disable email notification sound

Hi all, Had this phone for about 3 days & its sending me insane. It gives me a loud beep every time I get an email, usually 4 -5 times through the night. ( My wife, alias "why did'nt you get an Iphone like mine") is not impresed. When I go into main menu settings, I can press about 3 to 4 differents icons eg - settings > phone>voice commands > settings & then it goes in voice mode & I can't do a thing with it. How can I get rid of voice commands & turn off my email notification,
Thanks Rob

I realise that you have 'accepted' a solution to your problem but I would like to suggest an alternative.
There is a Free application on Ovi suite called Nokia Situations. This allows you to set up different profiles for different situations.
I have a profile that I called Night Time which I have set Nokia Situations to activate at 11pm and deactivate at 8am. In this profile I have turned all sounds off apart from allowing the phone to ring if a member of my family calls. I also get it to turn off Bluetooth during the Night Time profile and other battery saving things. Nokia situations is very comprehensive and I guess I only use a small percentage of its features but I think it is superb.
I used to have to remember to switch to Night Time profile late at night and then back to General in the morning. Now, it is all automatic.
Hope this helps.
History: Always Nokia since 1994 including Nokia 2140, 7110e, 6150, 6210, 6310i, 6230i, N82
Current: Nokia N8 (Anna - I have no intention of going to Belle) - and delighted with it!

Recording Voice overs we can still hear the original sound

hi now im trying to add sound to the video and it works but the original little sounds from the camera are in there to like the wind blowing and my mom speaking and etc. etc, the music is there too but how do you get rid of the actualy sounds and make it so the music is only played during it and nothing else??
thanks

Hi, lizzixxx3,
As Sue pointed out, there is a checkbox at the end of the timeline that when unchecked, mutes the sound for that track. The reason there are 3 is that the first one is for the video, and the second 2 are for the 2 audio tracks. You can uncheck the one corresponding to the video track and your entire movie will be silent. Then after you add audio (music) to your iMovie, you should see the audio clip(s) in the second or third track, one of the audio tracks. If you leave those tracks checked, all you will hear when the movie plays is what you have added.
When you use the microphone, you should end up with an audio file that goes onto one of the audio tracks.
Post back if this is still confusing.
Regards,
Bev
{Hi, Sue!}

I dropped my iphone 4S and the screen is black. i can still hear the key sound but i can't see a thing.

My iphone 4s was dropped and i cant see a thing but still can hear the sound of the keys...

I would try restarting
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).
If that doesnt do it take the phone to an apple store and have it assessed

I can't hear music or sound on my iPod

When i try to play music on my iPod Video it starts playing but all i hear in any headphones are clicks and thumps and a small, quiet bit of the music. Same goes for the sound in my videos, the videos play but the sound doesn't.
It was working when i was walking through the airport, then i took out the headphones and put the iPod in my pocket to listen to the laptop i had with me. When i took out my iPod in mid-air, couldn't hear anything. I was out on vacation for 3 weeks with no iPod. I came home today and reconnected my iPod hoping that if it updated the music it will work. It didn't. I checked my iPod's Serial Number and it has a bit of warrenty left if the worse happens.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
iPod Video (5th Generation) I have it in an agent18 case if it matters.

Airplane cabins are pressurized, so the iPod should be working fine in them (they are pressurized to under 10,000 feet).
Also, he said he tried multiple headphones.
To the original poster:
If you've reset the iPod and it doesn't help, you will want to try a restore.
If you restore the iPod and the problem persists with multiple headphones, the iPod will probably need service...

When making a phone call, can't hear the ringing sound

On my iPhone 5s, when I'm calling someone, I don't hear the usual ringing sound until the person picks up. I'm not talking about the touch tones when dialing a number, nor am I referring to the ring tone when I have an incoming call. Simply the every-two-seconds ringing indicator once you've dialed a number, before the person picks up. Once someone picks up, the call quality is fine.
This started happening randomly this afternoon. I've had the phone for about a month; currently on iOS 7.1.1.

Picture is just for instructional purposes...

Can I make unique notification sounds for each app?

I have several apps that send me notifications. They almost all have the same tone. I would like to make them unique. For example I would love a tone for just email. I haven't found a way yet to do this. The apps themselves don't have the option to do it.

If you are using the default email app,try this: go to email app,tap on settings (3 dots) and tap on your email address. After this,scroll down to ringtone.
