Do Not Disturb in Mavericks Not Muting Alert Sounds

I installed Mavericks lately and have noticed my Do Not Disturb schedule in Notifications Center doesn't mute the sounds for notifications. I have the schedule set to 10PM to 8AM, but was awoken this morning at 4AM by emails hitting my inbox.
Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?
I guess I have to go back to my Calendar/Automator script that mutes systems sounds. Ugh.

I'm having the same problem, but only on my new iMac with Mavericks. I haven't seen a solution yet.

Mail not playing alert sound

Hi, Does anyone know how to make the "new mail" alert sound play, please? This works intermittently, I cannot get it to sound all the time, most of the time it does not work at all.
I contacted Apple Care and tried the various things they suggested, which included re-installing the OS (which is SL 10.6.7, running on the latest 21.5" iMac). It worked for a short while, but then stopped working again. I went to the Genius bar, but they said they can only help with hardware issues, suggested I contact the Apple discussion boards. The Genius Rep downloaded answers to this issue on "Mac-Forums, but other users only had this problem with Growl installed. When this was removed, the sound alert returned. I have never had Growl installed. Any help would be appreciated.

Brilliant, thanks a million!!!!!
Sent myself two emails so far, both worked. For the first attempt I set it to ""New message sound" as you suggested - it worked. Then I set it to "Purr" sound, which is my normal sound I use, and that worked too.
I will keep track of this to see if it loses the sound again, as this happened before. Fingers crossed this is now a permanent solution. It seems as though this has been a common problem without a solution for a long time from Apple.
Well done and thanks again.

Alert sounds not working in iPad

My iPad does not play alert sounds and line2 does not send push notifications with sound until i open the app. Maybe the app but does anyone else have this issue? I have gone to settings/generalsound and set the "Ringer and Alerts" section sound to wide open and I turned the "Change with Buttons" to off. Does anyone else have this issue. I was not really looking forward to restoring a back up copy but I might have to.

I have found the answer to my own problem...listed here in this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008964?start=0&tstart=0 it has to do with the lock mute/rotation button. When the selector switch is on lock rotation alerts will not play sound. Also sounds in apps and sometimes video will not work unless you are listening through head phones. This bug has existed for a while according to the post in the link.

Text message vibrate instead of alert sound

i am in a text message conversation screen (as opposed to the main message screen that lists my messages), and my phone ringer is on with vibrate activated. however when i receive a text message within the conversation, it only vibrates with no sound alert. is this normal?

Even just going back to the list of converstatoins (button in top left) you will not get alert sound while in the App. Again, it assumes you are looking at it and seeing the indicators pop up for number of messages etc for each conversation.
You have to be out of the app for it to give a sound.
If you are not expecting a msg right away then why stay in it? Press home and go back to home screen and wait.

Repeating alert sound for email.

Hi,
My iPad seems to be repeating the tone associated with email. It plays it 2 times. No matter which tone I use the same result. I looked everywhere and could not see any sign of where else it may be defined. Any idea how to update ro not repeat alert sound.
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
...Bruce

Have you tried rebooting the iPad? I have never seen a way to set the email notification to repeat the sound so maybe a reboot will help.
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.

IPad mini calendar alert sounds

My calendar alert sounds have stopped working! I have checked volume and settings. The sounds work when I test them in settings, but when the event pops up on the screen to remind me, there is no sound! Help! I have 8 people in my home to coordinate and I am missing appointments due to no sound! Crazy! I know! But I got the iPad mini to help me remember all my 'stuff'! I have tried the side button. On. Off. Reset to screen orientation. I have read all the postings. I wonder if its the calendar I bought? It is 'Task and Cal'? Not sure what is going wrong.

Hi wanda254,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first check the sound settings on your iPad using the information found here:
iOS: Understanding sounds, ringtones, and alerts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5800
If your alert settings are correct but you still do not hear alert sounds, try these troubleshooting steps next:
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, followthese 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 after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

All the best,

PSA: in iOS 7.1.1, alert sounds are tied to your media/game volume and not to your ringer volume

I was befuddled by this for a long time.
Alert sounds would just stop making noise. This includes dings from txt messages and new mail.
If I went to Settings>Sounds>Text Tone and select several options, all I would get were vibrations.
I rebooted the phone and toggled the silence switch on and off.
I finally figured out that if I started a game and turned the volume up, the noises would come back.
I think it is reasonable for a user to wish to play a game on mute but still hear alert messages.
I think if we can only have two separate systems for audio control, the alert sounds should be tied to the ringer, not to the media/game sounds.
When I spoke to an apple support person over online chat, they seemed to agree that this sounds like a bug.
I have seen many confused posts in these forums regarding alert sounds suddenly disappearing.
Below is the text that I submitted at http://www.apple.com/feedback/
If you share this problem, I suggest you do the same.
My case number is 606343836
Begin message:
I've had a 5S since a few weeks after launch and this problem has only come about in the last few weeks, so I suspect it has to do with a recent OS patch.
Sometimes my alert messages just stop working. They seem to work one minute, then they stop. Alert messages would include email notifications and txt message pings. When they are not working, I can go into Settings>Sounds>Text Tone, and all of the options will simply result in a vibration and no sound.
Rebooting the phone does not fix the problem.
What I have found to fix the problem is to open a game and raise the volume of the game. Then when I exit the game, alert messages start again.
This seems reversible, if I go back in and mute a game, my alert messages go away as well.
If this is by design, I do not think it should be, as I think it is reasonable for a user to want to control the "media" part of the volume separately from the "ringer" and "alerts" part of the volume. It makes sense to want play a game or video on mute but still get alert messages. If anything, I think the alerts volume should be tied to the ringer volume, I think that would make sense.

Additional info, which makes me think this is a bug rather than a feature. If you go into Settings > Sounds and turn off the "Change with Buttons" option, then the ringer should always ring at the volume of the slider on the screen.
The volume buttons now appear to only affect the media/games volume, and it works as expected EXCEPT:
if you are in a game and you mute the volume in the game, then exit the game, all alert sounds are muted and you can't turn them back up by raising the volume with the volume buttons.
If you go back into the game and raise the volume within the game, then exit the game, then alert sounds do turn back on.
I have tested this with two games from two developers.

Why am I not getting any alert sounds in Lion?

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.3 and find that I am not getting any alert sounds. Mail sounds work, voice notification [as in giving me the time on the hour and other spoken alerts] works, but simple things like trash emptying, taking items out of the dock or Finder side bar don't work at all.
I gone to System Prefs many times to try and tweak some things. Discovered that I had a lot of old Xounds sounds, so I deleted those. I'm at a real loss here folks, so if someone can point me in the right direction, I shall be forever thankful!

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 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

I am not getting any sounds from Applications or Web Browsers, but i am getting alert sounds.

I've tried everything: Restarting my computer, audio MIDI settings, reseting PRAM, opening garageband :l Nothing seems to work! This is really anoyying. I've looked at all the forums about this and i've tried everything it says, and no luck. Please help. And its weird because my computer is not muted and when i turn on the computer the startup sound comes, then i go into iTunes and play a song, but nothing plays, I just hear nothing but error and alert sounds! Please Help!!

Hmmm, only thing I can think is some extension not loading or borked, open System Profiler, or whatever the name has changed to now, check Software>Extensions & see if all the myriad Audio ones appear to be loaded & valid...

Why am I getting File not Found alert when I type into my browser?

Why do I keep getting a File not Found alert when I type into my browser?
I have been using firefox for about 4 yrs now with very few problems. The problem I am having is that when ever I go to type in anything into my browser I keep receiving this message:
(Scroll down to see the rest)
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla Firefox/omni.jar!/chrome/en-US/locale/browser-region/region.propertieschronic+fatigue+syndrome.
I recently installed Firefox 5.0 and this keeps happening. It happened with the 4.0 version a couple of days ago but mostly it is the 5.0 version that I am having problems with. When ever I want to do a search I have to manually type in google.com. Is there a solution to fix this?

The NuGet is a dll that was built with 4.0.0.0. The easiest thing to fix problem is target you VS project to use Net 4.0. You could get a new version of NuGet, but if you do make sure you rebuild your entire project. The dependencies in
the VS compiler doesn't always recognize updated libraries. So I normally rename the bin folder in the project and then delete the bin folder. VS will create a new bin folder and then rebuild all the source files. If your project contains
multiple projects then remember to delete the bin from all projects.

Alerts sounds are not working after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

Hi,
I've noticed that all the alerts sounds are not working anymore after upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.1.2
I’ve reviewed similar posts regarding the same issue; and it seems this is a common issue in iPhone 4S when upgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
Apple, please Advise if there anything I can do to resolve the issue especially that my work deepens on the push emails and alerts that requires prompt response.

I got this issue resolved.
It caused due to some dirt in the charger slot; such dirt caused the phone to assume as if it is connected to a car kit and that is why it does not produce any sound except the Ringer and the Alarm.
It has been fixed by cleaning the charger slot by toothbrush! with some
drops of a cleaner.
Do not do it by yourself, as it might be a risk; rather, let it to be done by an expert.

Not all the speakers are working but they are not muted

volume level is not very loud, you can hear it but it is not very loud. i have tried raising the volume through the mixer and it shows levels at maximum volume but out of the four bars shown only two actually have sound and the other two are not muted they just show maximum volume but don't work. i have gone in through the control panel and i just can not figure out what the problem is!

Welcome to the Forum.
This is for Windows 7 - Vista setup is probably very similar, though getting to the menu may be slightly different.
First, Find your Sound Icon in your Task Bar -right click on the Sound Icon
Sound --> Playback --> Properties --> Enhancements
Note the Example below shows Enhancements "Disabled".
You can "UNCHECK" that box, and select "Loudness Equalization"
to try that as a means to fix your "low" sound issue.
You will read two schools of thought on the Forum on this setting: "Enhancements"
1. Setting "Enhancments" --> Loudness Equalization will improve sound and balance music from one song to the next
2. Leave "Enhancements" Disabled, including the Loudness Equalization setting
Disable OR Select "Loudness Equalization" and click OK
Try it. See if it works.
If it works, you are done. If not, then UNDO the change, and continue below:
The next thing to consider:
Windows 7 has a "Feature" that turns down the sound when you use your PC to make a phone call. Unfortunately, it appears that this feature can activate at other times and soften your sound when you don't wish to do so.
Possible Workaround:
Sound --> Playback Devices --> Communications
Select "Do Nothing"
Click OK
You will probably have to reboot for this one to take effect.
It works for some people, not everyone. No guarentees.
Last Tip:
Make sure all drivers are up to date. Out of date drivers can get in the way of good performance. Which drivers you need depends on your system model and your operating system (Windows 7 32/64bit, Vista...). If you have HP Support Assistant (the latest version on your system, it's easy to get to your software and driver page. Ask if you need help to update to the latest version of HP Support Assistant...
Hope this helps.
Good Luck!
Kind Regards,

What can be wrong with my iPhone 4? There is no sound from incoming calls, SMS and even when I play music. I already checked that it's not muted, volume is high and not set to "vibrate mode."

Hi,
If you have not distributed the Run As Account to a system, but we discovered SQL on it, you will see the error message.
This condition may have occurred because the account is not configured to be distributed to this computer. To resolve this problem, please distribute the account to this computer if appropriate. You can refer to the following blog to distribute the Run As
credential.
