Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail.

Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail. It was fine yesterday and just went mute today. I have Mac OSX 10.7.2 and a MacBook Air. Is there any way to fix this easily?

I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I'm sending out viruses.
Is this a common issue?
Has this been solved?

No sound when sending/receiving messages

When I send a message in Mesages and with iMessage I hear no sound. However when I send messages in AIM with Messages sounds work just fine. Any suggestions?

Lost swish sound when sending mail

I seem to have lost the swish sound when sending apple mail... sound is on for all else...
how do I get it back?

is there some way to move them to the desktop then dump the main mail folder then - 'get the sound back with fresh account' - then reimport all the settings? (all for less manual work
Let's assume for the moment that you want to do that. You could do this:
Quit Mail.
Go to Home/Library/Mail and copy the entire folder to your Desktop, then delete the Mail folder.
Go to Home/Library/Mail and copy the com.apple.mail.plist file to your Desktop.
Restart Mail and let it find and/or create new mail account folders for you, then see if your sound is back.
However, since you just setup an email account in the test user account and it worked, that points to the problem being with a corrupted Mail preferences file. So, if you just delete that and then restart Mail and setup your accounts again, that may very well solve the problem.

After updating to Mavericks MAIL no longer issues a "whoosh" sound when sending mail. Can I get it back?

If restarting did not resolve the issue, open Mail Preferences and make sure the box next to "Play sounds for other mail actions" is checked.

I want a notification sound when I receive a new email

I have the sound turned on Windows 7 Enterprise, and I have checked in my Outlook 2010 to make a notification sound when I receive a new email, but no sound is made when I receive an email. Can anyone advise me how to get this to work?

Hi,
The sound option for new coming emails lies in: File tab -> Options -> Mail -> Message arrival -> Please confirm you have selected the checkbox
Play a sound.
If you only don’t get a sound when receiving emails from some specific senders, you may have set up some rules to manage incoming emails, please make sure you have selected the
Play a sound checkbox in the rules.
If there’s still no sound, please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it’s related to 3rd-party add-ins:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
I hope this helps.

When sending/receiving an iMessage (from gmail address) how can I then receive or access my iMessages on my actual gmail account/inbox?

When sending/receiving an iMessage (from gmail address) how can I then receive or access my iMessages on my actual gmail account/inbox?

Hi,
The Messages app can join 5 different services.
The "iChat Originals" that include AIM, Jabber and Yahoo (although they were added at different times to the app)
The Bonjour account that has been present for LAN based Mac to Mac chat and lastly the iMessages account in the Messages app that iChat has become.
Google email IDs can be used as a Jabber ID in Messages as Google run a Jabber server.
As the Google server does not follow conventional naming formatting it has it's own Add option in Messages.
Effectively all the services are separate.
Any email used as an Apple ID can be the iMessages account.
Of course this may be a Google one like you have that can also be used as Jabber/GoogleTalk ID or it may be an Apple issued ID (@mac.com @me.com or @icloud.com) that will also work as a Valid AIM Screen Name.
It may be that someone has their Yahoo email as their Apple ID.

It still vibrates but no calling sounds or message sounds. It's not on mute and the speakers are working... I can hear music etc.
Oh yeah no keypad noises either.

Same thing has happened to me. I have tried every trick that's been posted here. I just ran out of options. Galaxy phone is starting to look better by the minute.

What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.

Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa.

TS3406 there is no sound when I receive a call or message bu the sound works when I go into settings. what may be the answer?

I have an Iphone 5 and this morning it will not make a sound when I receive a message or call. All settings are as before and sounds are made when I check the sound settings. Any ideas on what has happened? Hardware or software issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thank you so much! I let my husband use my phone last night and he thinks he pushed it by mistake. Thanks so much for your help Meg!

Is the mute switch at the side above the volume buttons ON? (Red shouldn't be visible)
Check also Settings > Sounds >

TS4185 Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

Why don't I get a ring tone or sound when I receive a call on face time?

On a Mac computer the Facetime ringtone is VERY weak, even with the volume turned up. If you have your audio level adjusted to a normal level you may not hear it. A number of people have complained about it on this Facetime for Mac forum. On my iPad the alert tones when receiving a FT call is much more robust.

Beep app stopped making sound after upgrade to 2.6.22 kernel

hi, beep app stopped making sound after upgrade to 2.6.22 kernel Jul 29 2007; my PC still beeps on reboot; i searched for the beep package at arch home page and found
the beep package maintainer's name: Damir Perisa how do i contact him if there are no other fixes for beep no longer making any sound? thanks in advance for your quick
response; resident, a happy arch user

Check if the PC speaker kernel module is present:
lsmod | grep pcspkr
If that returns nothing, then check /etc/rc.conf for these line:
MOD_BLACKLIST=(foo)
MODULES=(bar pcspkr)
MOD_BLACKLIST must NOT contain pcspkr, while adding it to MODULES should autoload it on boot.
If you want it to load right now, then just enter:
modprobe pcspkr

When sending/receiving Mail seems to handl more mails than my traffic

When I press "Get Mail", or when I send a mail, the send/receive activity shows in the lower left corner of the screen.
What makes me wonder is the fact that sometimes "mail activity" for instance says: "getting x mails of 10" although I only receive say, 6 mails in my inbox.
And the same thing happens the other way around. When I send one email, mail-activity could say: "sending 2 of 2 mails" although I am only sending one mail!
Does anybody have an idea as to why this odd behaviour occurs?

I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I'm sending out viruses.

Weird: getting iphone notification sound when I receive a new Gmail email even though account is deleted on phone?

I've been trying to debug an issue with receiving notification sounds
that I don't want to receive, and I don't know where to go from here -
I am totally confused.
A couple of days ago I started having a problem where anytime I
received an email I would get a notification sound. I didn't want
that, so I tried turning off all notifications on mail. This didn't
fix the problem, I would still get a sound when receiving a new email.
Next I tried removing my gmail account from the Mail app.
Surprisingly, I still am having the problem with getting a new
notification sound when a new email is received. (I tested by sending
emails to myself).
Next I tried turning off cell data on the phone, and also removed the
phone's sim card so that I would be sure it was only communicating
over my wifi network that it was connected to. Bluetooth is also
turned off. I downloaded the Mac OS X Program Eavesdrop[1] and
started watching the network traffic, sent an email, received the
notification sound on my phone, and checked the network wifi traffic.
Surprisingly, there was no connections listed. So how does the iPhone
know a new message was received? This is repeatable.
I had the Gmail app running but not logged in, so I tried quitting
that app and it had no effect: I still received the notification
sound.
I tried changing the password on my Gmail account and then
tried sending another email, and it still makes the notification sound
after the email is received!
I have a list of open applications if you're interested in that. I did try turning my iphone on and back off but it still happens. I realize I could probably fix by re-installing the OS but I'm interested to know what's going on and why.
I have my iPhone connected to my iMac and running Xcode, when the
weird email notification comes in there's this line in the console:
Nov 23 14:43:16 unknown SpringBoard[15] <Warning>: No alert sound
found at path 'UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName'.
AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundIDWithPath() returned: -1500

Hi,
I had the same issue for somtimes now and eventually removed the GMail app because the sound notifications I had happened everytime I received an e-mail in my GMail account (including spam).
Since I removed it, no more problem and my battery life is way better !

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.
