IOS 8.1 Intermittent Sound!!

PLEASE HELP.
I have an iPhone 5S, upgraded to IOS 8 (now at 8.1) and my ring/text sound is intermittent. Sometimes it rings and sometimes I get no sound at all - both for calls and texts. I've restarted a million times, changed sounds, etc. Still happens.
This is insane. I'm on a crisis trauma team and depend on my phone for emergency calls. Now I have to deal with a phone that doesn't alert me when called. NEED A FIX.

Hi, Joshm18.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are experiencing an issue with tones on your iPhone and in your line of work, understand it is very important. Intermittent issues can be difficult to troubleshoot. However, here are some steps that may help resolve this issue.
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker

Intermittent sound & phone freezing

Today i have noticed my iphone 4 has intermittent sound. The ringer is on, but when someone calls it doesn't always ring, and has also frozen too. The keyboard clicks don't always work, nor do the text tones. Vibrate still seems to be working ok.
The only thing I have changed in the last 24 hours is I updated my iPhone 4 with the new iOS 5.0.1 as it asked me to yesterday.
Is anyone else having the same problem or had it before?

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
Have you run the Apple hardware test? If you have either of the TechTool programs they can do the same testing. Find the original OS X discs that came with the system, and one should say in small print on the label 'AHT Version x.x'. Insert it and reboot holding the option key down, choose the Apple hardware test, click the arrow to the right, follow directions, and choose the extended test. Does it identify any issues?

The ringtones are working but all other sounds are not working please help

I had this problem on my iPod Touch 4g. Just press the home and sleep button. Wait and it will give an iTunes and cable logo. Now you can put in DFU mode (Hold Sleep and Home button 10 seconds and then release the power button kand keep pressing on the home button.) Now you will be able to restore it in iTunes.
If you didn't sell it in al this time

Intermittent Sound Loss (SFX & Audio)

Hi gang, I have an odd problem with intermittent sound loss (button SFX + audio) on my brand new ATV2 (HDMI to HDMI on a 2 year old Phillips 42"). The picture is great, but the audio only works about 50% of the time. (?!) I'm totally stumped. I did some troubleshooting. Restart, Reset, Restore. No dice. I swapped the cable and tried different HDMI ports — to no avail. I also spent an hour on the phone with an Apple tech. We did everything again and we turned off Dolby, etc. No dice. He suggested I bring the device into the Apple store, and they swapped it out for me. But I'm having the same problem with the new device — and AGAIN only 50% of the time. It seems totally arbitrary. Very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did you try restarting your TV, the problem may be there.
(I have a tv that starts to drop audio occasionally, although a restart of the tv will resolve the matter it does return perhaps weeks/months later)

Until you have tried Maps, Music, etc. first hand, I wouldn't formulate negative opinions about them. And updates, if performed correctly, do not erase data.
I presume that last time you updated through iTunes. This time, update over Wi-Fi by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

Intermittant sound on HP Pavilion PC

Can someone please help us?
We have a HP Pavilion PC running Vista, our problem is that when the sound is turned on there is intermittant sound coming from both channels, and you are unable to understand anything coming out of the speakers. But if you put a headphone jack in, there is only sound coming from the right channel.
I have uninstalled the audio driver and reinstalled to hopefully correct the problem, but it continues to stay the same. We have run out of ideas and hope someone can help.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp59542.exe
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.
Regards,
DP-K

After upgrading to iOS 5.1, the sound output works abnormally.

After upgrading to iOS 5.1, the sound output (the 3.5mm output) works correctly only when Apple provided headphones or certain headphones are plugged in. Others cause the iPod to produce sort of phased out sound with lots of digital, low-quality sounding artifacts. Other headphones have no problems since they work fine when plugged into my MacBook.
Anyone having similar problems? Solutions?

Could be due to a defective headhone jack in the iPod that just coinsided with the iOS update.
However, to rule out a software cause, try the following.
- Reset the iPod. 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Intermittant sound on iPad

Ihaving intermittant sound on iPad. I have done numerous soft &hard resets, checked all settings (nothing to do with side switch) sound present with earphones and works when checking ring tone but when playing music keeps cutting out & slide volume bar disappears also?? It affects the keyboard clicks as well.

Looks like an internal fault with the auto card. I would suggest taking your iPad to a local Apple store for further diagnostics.

Intermittent sound problems (circle with slash) since 10.9.1 upgrade.

My 27" iMac (mid-2011, 2.7 i5, 16g RAM) has had intermittent sound problems (circle with slash) since I upgraded to 10.9.1. I've reset the PRAM, used Disk Utility on the file permissions, tried Audio Midi, and sound prefs steadfastly refuses to use the internal speakers.

Did you install the latest driver set for the device? there is a new release on motu.com for mavericks.

AirPlay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV intermittent sound drop-off

I can't stream iTunes or Spotify to my Apple TV without getting intermittent sound drop-out (say every 30 seconds) when I use AirPlay mirroring through my Mac. This odd thing is streaming through my iPad or IPhone to Apple TV is perfectly fine; so is using my Mac to stream to my Sonos speakers. I can even stream iTunes pefectly fine through only the Apple TV alone - so it's nothing to do with my broadband connection
I have today performed upgrades to the Apple TV and my Airport Express firmware but the problem persists. Anyone else experiencing this or found a solution?

Hi, same here for me. Using AirPlay for streaming music from my Mac Mini (iTunes latest version) to my ATV2 (software latest version) has intermittent drop-outs (about every 10 to 15 sec for 5 to 10 sec). At the same time streaming to my Airport Express station in the kitchen works fine. Using the VOX player streaming from the Mac to the ATV works fine, only that I can only stream to one destination. Tried streaming from iTunes to ATV only, the problem remains. Streaming video - even HD - works fine. Using the ATV to select music from my Mac's iTunes library works fine, too. Still I want to stream from my iTunes on the Mac to several destiations including the ATV. Seems to me to be a problem of iTunes. I think the effect appeared after an update of iTunes or OSX, because it had worked fine before, already.

Intermittent sound using dd live pack, spdif to home theater spdif.

. when using dd li've pack to listen to audio through home theater, connecting spdif out on elite pro module to spdif in, i have only intermittent sound. there is no common timing, just sound on and off. as the sound comes on, on my computer i have the dolby digital li've bitstream out "bug" that comes on in the lower left hand corner of my screen, then goes away when sound off. i am listening in entertainment mode. i don't really know what else to say. does anyone else have this [email protected]

G? A lot of Audigy DDL users have reported 5. signal being lost randomly.
Mine cuts out and Dolby Digital Li've becomes plain PCM (stereo on the receiver). It only does it for a second, then 5. gets restored. Then a few seconds/minutes/hours later it happens again.
Sounds somewhat related to the X-Fi issues.... perhaps is the same thing?

Intermittent sound fault with keyboard clicks

Hi there,
I have recently purchased an iPad2, and there seems to be an intermittent sound fault only involving the keyboard click sounds.
The sound works fine on music and other content and I have tried deselecting and reselecting the keyboard clicks on/off in the settings page, but to no avail.
Do you have any suggestions?

If it happens intermittently, then I would think that it cannot be an incorrect setting, or having system sounds muted. Do you ever restart your iPad - or reboot it?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.

Each time i press the power button i just have a blank white screen, and intermittent sounds/tone. No apple logo, or spinning circle.

I used to install the rEFIt to boot with win7. When I deleted win7, I didn't uninstall rEFIt. Nothing wrong with it. One day after I watched movie in full screen,I pressed esc to quit. Then I found the touchpad didn't work. I can't turn off air. I just pressed power button for a little while. It rebooted, then my nightmare just began...
I have tried everything, PRAM, command+R, literally everything. No change.
But when I plug a CD-ROM with USB, I can only here one BONG, just once, then white screen, Like waiting for something...
I took it to a service center in China, they told me the CPU had broken. SInce it's one month out of warranty, they wanted to charge me for like $250....
I really don't think that's CPU's problem. I checked the history, it seems like somebody else also had the problem before.
Can anyone give me some hints??? Thanks!!!!!! Or I have to take it back to America to check....

Impossible, there are zero, as in none, zip, nadda viruses for OS X. If you have viruses on it they are for MS Windows and will not affect OS X. I suspect the hard disk has crashed, if you have backup then it's not a big deal to have it changed, just take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for service. If you have not been backing it up you may be in for a painful lesson on why backup is critical.

Advice for damaged jack? Intermittent sound

I bought my Zen Micro on Ebay so I have no warrenty. I am wondering if anyone has come across any electronics repair places that repair this type of thing? All of the repair places I can find are for TVs and such. Or, can anyone advise me on how to get the thing open? I see some clips and stuff under the battery which I think can be fiddled with to remove the back? But I have no idea how...
To describe the damage more precisely; I used my player in my pocket at work and I kneel a lot stocking shelves. Well after kneeling too much with it in my pocket, it bent the headphones jack which damaged the jack of the inside of the player. The sound is exremely sensti'vely intermittent now.
Thanks for any advice.

There are numerous guides online for opening the case and more specifically repairing the dreaded "headphone jack problem" just google a few, although yours might not be exactly the same problem according to what you said happened. Anyway know that if anything is bent to the point of connections breaking soldering will be in orderMessage Edited by Kyman73 on 06-09-2006 0:57 PM
