Disable ALL Sounds when Silent

Holy cow I am in a theater and thankfully the movie hasnt started yet but as i was opening an app the sound went blasting! Wow thats really nice.

Copied from the user guide.
+In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.+
+Important: Clock alarms, audio-dependent applications such as iPod, and many games still play sounds through the built-in speaker when iPhone is in silent mode.+

Disable all sound from application

Hi,
I need to disable all sound or volume from my application upon a button press. I have a html component within my app that i need to be muted, for example if the user loads the youtube website and selects a video, the video should play but without any sound?
Can this be done?
Cheers
Adam

I am having a similar problem....didn't recognize it until today.... I wasn't getting any sound out of the right side of my headphones....Unplugged them....wasn't getting anything out of the right front speaker....Hmmmswap them around...speaker is good... Take apart the base unit for the Inspire 5400....nope, that's looks ok....plug it all back in....check wiring...plug everything in correctly....test speakers with Creatives software....all sound is now coming out of the front speakers....nothing out of the rear.... I can't figure it out....it is getting late...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Disable all sounds. what is noscript.

some darn windows program is making noise. I want to disable all sounds except streaming audio. AFAIK windows and ie sounds are OFF. I suspect chrome and fox. some articles say "noscript" has sound announcements. What is noscript, how can I turn off its sound; i don't do audio (on purpose) in fox, I'd be happy if fox were completely mute. Any ideas? Thank you!

Ok I just tried this. The alarm WILL work even if you profile is set to QUIET or OFF.

How do you disable the sound when sending tweets from "Click to Tweet" in the Notification Center?

So, ever since the "Click to Tweet" button appeared, anytime you post to Twitter with it, your heard a bird whistling sound. This was cute at first, but has become increasingly annoying (and probably not just to me, but also to my co-workers). Sure, I could mute my speakers prior to sending, but a.) I usually forget, and b.) I shouldn't have to.
In a similar manner, the "Click to Post" to Facebook button makes the "woosh" noise that Mail.app makes when sending an email.
These sounds should be able to be disabled or muted. The only solution I've found online so far is to move/rename/change permissions of the actual sound file itself on the file system. That seems way to extreme.
In summary: am I just missing some obvious setting, or is there really no way to mute/disable these sounds?

The best way to do this is to leave all files unchanged, but render the file containing that horrendous bird noise unreadable to the system. Open a terminal window, and paste this command:
sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.twitter.xpc/C ontents/Resources/TwitterSent.caf
That's it. Your Tweets should hereinafter be silent unless you change TwitterSent.caf's permissions again.

How can I remove a child swf and stop all sounds when parent closes?

Hi All,
I am new to actionscript 3 and trying to learn as I go. The problem I am having is the following:
I have a carousel of images that load an external swf movie with a FLVPlayback component on it. The problem is that when the external swf unloads the sound of the FLVPlayback component continues to play. I am using a carousel component I found online to load the images and each image loads an external swf file. here is the code for it.
import com.carousel.DegreeCarousel;
import com.carousel.data.CarouselDO;
import com.carousel.data.AngleDO;
import com.carousel.data.ItemDO;
// DEFINING THE CAROUSEL OBJECT
var carouselSettings:CarouselDO = new CarouselDO();
carouselSettings.radiusX = 300;
carouselSettings.radiusY = 0;
carouselSettings.fov = 50;
carouselSettings.transitionTime = 1;
carouselSettings.ease = "easeInOutQuint";
carouselSettings.useToolTip = 0;
carouselSettings.useBlur = 1;
carouselSettings.maxBlur = 8;
carouselSettings.reflectionAlpha = 0.2;
// DEFINING ANGLES SETTINGS
var angleSettings_arr:Array = new Array();
angleSettings_arr[0] = new AngleDO({angle:0,alpha:1,scale:0.5});
angleSettings_arr[1] = new AngleDO({angle:90,alpha:1,scale:1});
angleSettings_arr[2] = new AngleDO({angle:180,alpha:1,scale:0.5});
// DEFINING THE ITEMS
var prefix = "content/thumbs/"
var galleryItems:Array = new Array();
galleryItems[0] = new ItemDO({thumb:prefix + "image_1.jpg", content:prefix + "swf1.swf", contentType: "flash"});
galleryItems[1] = new ItemDO({thumb:prefix + "image_2.jpg", content:prefix + "swf1.swf", contentType: "flash"});
galleryItems[2] = new ItemDO({thumb:prefix + "image_3.jpg", content:prefix + "swf1.swf", contentType: "flash"});
// PLACING THE CAROUSEL TO STAGE
var carousel:DegreeCarousel = new DegreeCarousel(carouselSettings,angleSettings_arr,galleryItems);
carousel.x = stage.stageWidth * .5;
carousel.y = stage.stageHeight * .5;
this.addChild(carousel);
// KEYBOARD NAVIGATION
// KEYBOARD EVENTS
stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);
function keyDownHandler(e:KeyboardEvent):void
    // left
    if(e.keyCode == 37)
        carousel.left(1);
    // right
    if(e.keyCode == 39)
        carousel.right(1);
    // top
    if(e.keyCode == 38)
        carousel.prevCycle();
    // Down
    if(e.keyCode == 40)
        carousel.nextCycle();
    // Space
    if(e.keyCode == 32)
The external movie loads fine. Then the external swf calls for a second swf containing a video. This is the code that is used to load the swf:
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myVideo:URLRequest = new URLRequest("myvideo.swf");
var video:Loader = new Loader();
video.load(myVideo);
this.addChild(video);
When the carousel unloads, it unloads both movies but the sound keeps on playing.
Is there any way to stop the sound from keep playing?
Thank you very much!!

You want to stop the audio from playing and also downloading more video/audio if it is still downloading when you go to a new keyframe where the video display/component or mp3 player is removed from the stage because it's keyframe ended or do not exist anymore but you still hear the audio.
Add an event listener to your video playback component that calls a function when the flash player tries to remove the video plaer from the stage that stops the netstream or at least stops/pauses the video playback.
[link removed]
//sample NetConnection and NetStream classes when the video player is removed from the stage tell the NetStream to stop playing or downloading the content with .close();
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connection.connect(null);
var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, videoRemovedFromStage);
function videoRemovedFromStage(e:Event){
   stream.close();

Should I disable onboard sound when..

Should I disable the onboard audio and stuff when I install the X-Fi. I installed my X-Fi some time ago and have never had any hardware problems with it, however recently I was in the BIOS options area (F2 at the splashscreen I think) and saw the option for disable onboard audio. Will it improve my system if I do disable it or will it require a reinstall of my soundcards driver and stuff. Any response is appreciated.

Well,
You're supposed to disable it, Yes. Your system needs to know wich card you will use. May create conflict if you have both enabled. Yes, disable it.

How to disabled all constraints when importing data (urgent)

Hi,
I am running import on my database. It’s dump file size 40GB & I forget to set import parameter constraint=N. due to that import is very slow.
Could any body help me out.
Thanks,
AT

Hi,
>>due to that import is very slow
I'm not sure whether this is the "source" of low performance, because just in the end of the process that integrity constraints are enabled.
1) New tables are created. (Type definitions, Table definitions)
2) Data is imported. (Table data)
3) Indexes are built. (Table indexes)
4) Triggers are imported. (integrity constraints, views, procedures, and triggers)
5) Integrity constraints are enabled on the new tables.
6) Any bitmap, functional, and/or domain indexes are built.

Lost all my sound when playing movies and shows from internet

i seemed to have lost all sound when playing movies from internet. i still have "system" sounds and beeps?

The speaker is not that good but maybe yours is defective if you have the volume fully raised.
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted and have a poor contact.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R" or "R".
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

Loud clicking sound when trying to play a DVD

HP Pavilion Ultimate d4995t desktop PC with Realteck High Definition Audio. Vista Premium O/S. I play my sound via my HDMI cable to the speakers in my monitor. When I attempt to play a DVD in the DVD drive, I get a loud clicking noise with no sound from the DVD. This only happens to DVD's. CDs play sound without a problem. If I copy the same DVD files to the hard drive, I can play it from the hard drive and sound works. If I plug in speakers to the audio-out and disable the HDMI output, I can play the DVD in the DVD drive and the sound plays through those speakers without the noise. I have ran Microsoft sound tool without success. Updated all the sound drivers. I reloaded Vista, that corrected the problem. But as time went on the problem came back. I suspect the problem was caused by an Microsoft update. Anyone have any suggestions?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Yes, it happens after installing Service Pack for Vista through Windows Update.
Click Start->'Control Panel -> Sound -> Playback -> Select Realtek HDMI Output, click Properties. Click Advanced Tab above,
Unclick 'Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device', click Apply/Ok.
Check if the issue is resolved, if not, select HDMI Output on Sound Window, click Properties, click Enhancements tab, check the option 'Disable all sound effects', click Apply/Ok.
Thank You.

Lost all sound on upgrade to 7.0.3 from 6.5.2

Hi,
I am a total computer idiot and I need help. I've upgraded from QT 6.5.2 to 7.0.3; after I did that I lost (almost) all sound when playing QT movies. Files saved to my hard-drive that used to play with sound no longer do so. And QT files found online (through apple trailers, for example) no longer play with sound.
I say "almost" as there are a few files on my hard drive which still have sound. There's nothing special about these files which I can see though. One of them is an .mov, but all the rest of my .mov files don't have sound. The other is a .mpg, but all the rest of my .mpg files don't have sound.
After some reading about in this forum I found some genral comments about ones midi settings. Checked those against what are supposed to be the correct values, and they seem fine.
So anyone have any idea about what might be up? Seriously, suggest anything, even the most obvious stuff.
thanks

I have the same problem but with the QT 7.0.4...
Try to reinstall QT 6.5.2 (in 2 steps)
1) reinstall 7.0.1

In my case 7.0.1 doesn't work too... may be an additional coded ?? but i have no time to analyse.
2) reinstall 6.5.2

Disable key sounds

Is there a way to disable key sounds when typing? There are many environments where this could be useful. I tried enabling the airplane mode, but that didn't help. Thanks.

Don't remember seeing this one earlier, must be new since 1.1.1.
No that's been there since the first Firmware version as it was the first setting I modified when I activated the iPhone lol

Shouldn't the ring/silent switch silence all sounds?

Shouldn't the ring/silent switch silence all sounds at a system level, including those made by third-party apps? That's how my Treo worked, and it worked well.
(I'm aware that clock alarms still ring, regardless of the setting, as pointed out in the user manual: that's a nice feature in case someone forgets and leaves the switch set to "silent.")
But for example, I was in a long meeting the other day, and the topic veered to something in which I wasn't involved. I whipped out my new iPhone, set to silent, and decided to give Scrabble a whirl. You can guess what happened: its lame startup sounds made every head turn. I gave a sheepish look.
Should my beef be with Scrabble's developers, or with the iPhone 3G itself? Annoyingly, there's no way to silence Scrabble's startup sounds, even if you turn off all other in-game sounds, so that's just plain annoying. But it still seems to me that I should be able to keep the in-game sounds (which I like) on, but silence them with the hardware switch when needed.
UPDATE: Found this thread, which addresses my question. Reading through it, I think it's Apple's responsibility to invoke a system-wide mute (with the exception of clock alarms) when the switch is set to silent.

I too assumed the phone mute button would silence the speaker in all places. I thought that's what it's for. But I wrote to EA for the Scrabble issue. I got a dumb generic response. Now today I got a servey asking me to rate their serivce response. Oy!

Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)

Hi all,
I might be being a little dull here, but my question is exacly as in the title: Is there anyway to disable the chime when I accidentally catch the microphone icon while texting (phone is in silent mode)? I have fat fingers occasionally and whilst people at work don't mind private phone usage to have it occasionally activating the mic and then me cancelling it a little annoying.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

There is a proximity sensor that should turn the screen off when you place the phone near your face. Do you have a case that's blocking this? Try removing your case. If no case, try restoring you iPhone. If still a problem, return it to Apple for a warranty replacement.
