Certain Sounds Muted

Hi, I was going on my usual rutine of watching a video when I get home. I'm then surprised when it's muted. Then, I check another video, same muted sound. Then, I open minecraft, I hear sounds. So, I go to turn up the sounds, used to the booping when I do so, I was once again surprised at the lack of that sound. So some of my sounds are gone, including Youtube. But the thing is, I still have Minecraft sounds. What is this?

It's more severe than I thought. I've just watched a minecraft video, and there was a voice for everyone else, but for me, all I hear are minecraft sounds. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Video Sound muted after a few minutes

Hi, guys. Since i updated my ipod and this happened a few time already. Video was playing fine but after a minute, the audio muted. Annoying, everytime i need to rewind so the sound will be back on. But again after a few minutes, the sound muted. Everytime i needed to rewind back a little to get back the sound on. Any idea of how to fix this problem?

You have to "update" it back to v 1.0 in order to stop these problems. It seems every single Ipod in existance will act this way with movies not bought through iTunes with ver 1.1.
Someone should sticky a thread where it's explained how to revert back to v. 1.0 and that it's currently the only way to prevent these stupid freezes.

Ipad speaker not playing certain sounds or only playing them softly

Not sure if this is the right category. My Ipad speaker seems to not be playing certain sounds, for instance on the song Norwegian Wood the sitar is near silent. Have to put my ear right against the speaker to even hear it. I've tried a few different versions of the songs on different sites and in different apps but it's always the same, and it appears to be like this on other songs. Any help? Is there something I can adjust or is it in need of repairs? It's still under warranty. Thanks

Assuming that you are playing the songs in the Music app and not some third party app, you should probably have the iPad evaluated at an Apple Store. But before you do that, try this. Then see what happens.
Quit the music app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

When I try to open an app on my phone or go onto safari, it will open then close on me. Also my phone freezes a lot and sometimes when I listen to music through my head phones, the song will sound funny and it will sound muted. Replacement?

Hi apple community
I've been having issues with my phone for about two weeks now. My power button doesn't work properly, whenever I try turning it off I have to try over and over again just to turn it off. I've also been dealing with a lot of freezing with my phone, my music on my phone sometimes doesn't play properly and when it does it sounds funny and the person who is singing has a muted echoing voice. When ever I try to go onto safari it will log me out straight away the same with all of the other apps on my store. It's really bugging me at the moment as I can not use the phone properly (iPhone 5) also I've got this app called "Kik" and whenever I go on there sometimes it'll come up with a pop up box saying "Error with code data".
I would like to know if my phone is faulty, and to be able to get a replacement or possibly an upgrade?
Thank you

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

Sound muting problem after missed calls

Using Skype 4.9, but confirmed with 4.7 as well.
Android 4.2.2 JB, standard theme.
After a missed call, my FM radio stops working, and also I find all other sounds quieter byt more than 40-50%. No volume control app helps (tried many), the volumes don't seem changed. The FM radio apparently finds stations etc. but no sound. As if it is muted, and all other sounds seem to be affected by some more master volume no app could affect.
This whole mess is fixed when restarting the phone, or when I make another call to Sound test service (or other contact) - just establishing a call is enough to fix the issue. This is not always a solution for variety of reasons.
Also letting skype exit (after signout) completely fixes the issue. But this "exiting" takes hours most of the time - its VideMonitor service stays for hours after signout, sometimes days. Unacceptable.
This is Very frustrating to the point i stopped using skype until this is fixed.
It seems Skype doesn't restore some volumes/mute after a missed call.
The mentioned workarounds are not always viable, especially when I'm away from Wifi range. Is there another workaround, or better, a fix, when I miss a call, skype should restore sound volumes and any muted channels (fm radio).
Thanks.

The very same problem on Huawei Ascend G7...
After missed call skype turns off all the sounds in the phone including alarm.
I did late on work today because of it...
Why nobody from the developers don't take this seriosly and to clear up that serious issue..???

Use microphone and sounds muted on iPone4 only

Hi
We develop an application that records audio with microphone. Once the recorded sound, all audio sounds of the application ahve been muted.
If it would be muted during the record only, it would be ok. I just want to know how to restore the other sounds after the record interruption as quickly as possible ( Actually, there are between 10 to 20 secondes of silence ).
Thank you for your help !

sholo,
If you have the Creative Surround Mixer (or maybe this is in the Audio Console for Fatalty), the front panel Mic (Mic2) mute button is there or in the Windows Mixer. I think the front mic input doesn't have 20dB boost, but if it's in the mixer, select that too. The Fatalty has a rear flexijack that supports a mic. Have you tried that as a test of the compatibility of your mic? SoundBlaster cards work best with mic impedance of ~600ohm. And then there's this: many games and applications set audio mixer input to the rear Mic. If that's what's going on (you can check that by seeing what mic input is selected in the mixer after you select Mic2 and play e.g., a game), then look into [url="http://www.muvaudio.com/muvixer/">Muvixer[/url] as a workaround that lets you keep your choice of mic.

SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7

5SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7z Ok sorry if this hasbeen covered before but I searched and couldn't find it so here goes:
I have a two month old XFI FATALTY TITANIUM CARD WITH THE FRONT PANEL BREAKOUT BOX.
It showed up staright away as a hi fi device and the optical output when selected works ok I dunno about surround sound it simply plays great stereo through my Arcam DAC connected up to my stereo.
Problems began when I decided to install the Creative Software. What happens i sit plays for maybe o mins then mutes also I primarily use i tunes and it wont play anything until a few seconds after the music starts.
This is just on optical out if I use standard phono to 3.5mm jack its fine.
What puzzles me is why this happens when using the creative software ? Reverting back to the pre creative software it plays fine I would just like to take advantage of the various functions suplied with creative software?
Any ideas please. FWIW I Completely deinstalled the card and installed? abasic CMI 8738 card and that does the same so maybe its windows 7
Oh spec wise Windows 7 32 bit
4GB RAM
Asus MOBO

Weird... I changed nothing and yeterday it worked...
I just understand this, but what the hell?

All Sound muting randomly

Hello all,
Bit of an odd one since updating to 7.0.3....
Every so often my phone just switches over to vibrate only, I would have it muted overnight which is fine but when I wake I find my alarm hasnt gone off. I switch on the sound find that when my phone rings etc it just vibrates.
Its like I have physically switched off the sound even though it is set to quite loud!
Is this a known bug that I am experiencing?

Don't worry about it, I fixed it. Found out that systemd was not installed properly and that is why the service file error ie gdm.service, all is working well now.

Gnome sound muted on logon

When I log into Gnome my sound is always set to 0 and it is muted. gnome-volume-manager is in my session startup but I always have to unmute and raise the volume each time. Is there something I can do keep my volume up?

Just open the file /etc/rc.conf with a editor you like. For example nano:
# nano -w /etc/rc.conf
Note the root prompt!
At the bottom of the document you see a line that looks like this: (Maybe more or less daemons added)
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond sshd !vsftpd mysqld cherokee alsa xinetd mpd urxvtd)
Just add alsa to your list and save the file. (Strg+O with nano)
After reboot your mixer settings should be remembered now.
I did and do not use gnome or kde but I think that gnome has its own way to handle mixer settings, doesn't it?

Certain sounds on headphones only

Hi there are some apps I can't "listen" to unless I am using headphones. I get a message that special effects are headphones only. How can I change that? It didn't used to be like that! But... I don' know how this setting changed nor how to reverse it. I've looked under settings and I can't find an option for headphones.
For example, the videos available through the weather channel app, the disneyland explorer games and videos, can't be hear without headphones. Thanks in advance

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.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Only Certain Sound?

When I first got the new iPad, I noticed the keyboard clicking sound effect and Apps' sound alerts were enabled and wondered why i never heard any of that. But otherwise my sound worked, so I figured i just had some other setting which was conflicting with it. I've just downloaded 2 Apps which are supposed to have sound (one is specifically for sound). The sound on neither work for me. I've just realized I've never heard any sounds from most of my Apps, some of which probably do have sound effects. The only Apps which play sound for me are Safari, Music, and Youtube. Is there another source of sound besides the obvious speakers (which seem to only work for music and video on my iPad)?

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music/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 it's the icon far left; 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

My iPhone 4S won't play certain sounds

I just got this as a hand me down from my boyfriend because he has the new 5, pretty great condition, played all the sounds, videos, musics, etc with no problems.
I was playing a game earlier today with no issues, sound was great, and listened to music yesterday. For some reason it's not working now. I hear calls fine, FaceTime works well, and so do the little tests sounds in the settings. But it doesn't play sound for videos, games, music, or even the little texting clicks. The sound bar that usually shows up when you decrease or increase volume with the buttons doesn't show up, and the sound bar is completely gone when I try to play music.
Not sure what happened seeing as I've only been on Facebook and Skype since playing my game earlier. And yes, I've made sure that it is off of silent/vibrate. Just not sure what to check or do, seeing as this is my first iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I have already tried resetting using the home/lock buttons.

Why are certain sound files not playing correctly in iTunes?

I have had iTunes for years and have never had prolonged or unsolvable problems with anything playback related until now. I recently acquired some music, and it plays perfectly when I use WMP. When I added it my iTunes library, however, the audio is compressed during playback and there is a lot of skipping and blips going on in every song. It still plays perfectly in WMP, but not matter what I do the same thing happens in iTunes.
For reference, here is what the original audio songs like

And here is what it sounds like in iTunes

I have a similar problem. When I try to play TV episodes that were downloaded (in .m4v format) using iTunes, QuickTime (7.0.4) will play video without audio, and when I press "stop", QuickTime locks up!
My system used to play these files PERFECTLY, until I downloaded some shareware video format conversion programs (that didn't work, anyway). I believe one of them installed a shared DLL or CODEC or something that is conflicting with QuickTime. I'VE UNINSTALLED AND REINSTALLED QUICKTIME AND ITUNES COUNTLESS TIMES, trying to follow different people's advice, mostly from posts on this site, but nothing helps!!
The thing we have in common is that it sounds like you also have other video software that could have conflicting CODECs or shared DLLs. DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO TRACK THIS PROBLEM DOWN??
And why doesn't Apple make a CLEAN uninstaller and a COMPLETE installer? People shouldn't have to do the manual registry editing and file deletions that other people are recommending!!!!!
