My IPAD 2 has intermittent sound.  It cuts out while I'm listening to something. It may take hours to get audio again.  What is causing that?

Why is my IPAD2 experiencing intermiitent sound.  All updates are current. I have done complete shut downs and checked settings.  It quits in the middle of things.  If I turn it off for several hours, it comes back on.  System sounds work

I think that you mean that you cannot reset all settings or erase the device using the settings because of the fact that you don't remember the passcode. Unfortunately, you can't retrieve a restrictions passcode. You have to restore the iPad to factory settings to remove the passcode. However, that is something else that I suggested in my post above. And frankly, not knowing your restrictions passcode makes using the iPad such a pain be use you need to get into the settings from time to them.
You will have to restore completely as new and not use a backup. If you backup and restore the backup, you will be restoring the passcode that you cannot  remember.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • How can I keep my video sound from cutting out?

    The last couple of weeks the sound on my videos has been cutting out after I play them on Itunes on my computer, usually after a few seconds to a minute or two. I do not have the same problem when I load them on my really old Ipod Touch however. How can I fix this problem? Everything else seems to play fine except the video audio on the computer when I use Itunes. I thought it was just the tv show audio that was affected, but I just tried a couple of movies and the soundtracks are having the same problems. The root menu screens were running fine, but when the actual movies started playing it started to cut out. Please help!

    Try repair your QuickTime from control panel. Programs n features.
    If that doesnot work, go to
    Control panel
    Sound (Hardware n Sound)
    Under Playback tab, highlight each device and click Properties button
    Go to Advanced tab and change Sample Rate to 16bit 48000hz (DVD Quality) or 96000hz (Studio Quality), OK n OK.

  • Mac Mini Audio Intermittent over HDMI, Cuts out with Assertion in kernel.log

    Hello. I've been having trouble with a mac mini (Mid 2011) that I bought on Thursday. It's running OSX 10.7. The Mac Mini is the $599 unit.
    I've got it hooked up to my Sony BRAVIA HDTV (also this year's model) via HDMI, with audio configured to be delivered via HDMI to the TV alongside video. Initially the audio will play through my TV, but after an hour or two of watching something, it will cut out, and there will be no more sound coming out of the TV from the mac. Ultimately, the only way I can fix it is to reboot the Mac Mini. I've also observed that at about the same time sound cuts out, the following error message appears in kernel.log:
    Aug 12 19:21:40 joshs-Mac-mini kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != result" failed in AppleHDAWidget at line 3957 goto handler
    Aug 12 19:22:10 --- last message repeated 5 times
    As far as I know, assertions failures usually mean software problems (bugs). I suspect I may be encountering a kernel-level bug in Lion, as this error message is showing in kernel.log.
    The following is a list of diagnostic steps I've taken:
    - I've double-checked the sound output device in preferences. It didn't spontaneously change from SONY TV (HDMI) after sound cut out.
    - I've tried changing output to the internal speakers. It plays sound from the mac mini (as expected). When I change it back to HDMI, still no sound from the TV.
    - I've tried turning off and back on the tv. No effect.
    - I've tried unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable. No effect.
    - I've tried replacing the HDMI cable with two other alternates. No effect.
    - I've tried other HDMI inputs for my TV with HDMI attached. No effect.
    - Note: I've got a ps3 and xbox360 on the TV that has successfully used the HDMI inputs and cables tested on. They've never had this type of problem, so I don't think there's a problem with the TV.
    - I've tried rebooting the mac and resetting the "PRAM" (Command-Option-P-R before the grey screen on bootup). Sound still cuts out after a while.
    - All updates are applied.
    Does anybody else have any ideas about what I could try to fix this? This problem is pretty much a deal breaker, as rebooting the mac mini mid-movie kind of destroys the movie-watching experience.
    Thanks

    I'd just like to jump in on this thread to report exactly the same problem. 
    2011 Mac Mini (the 2.5GHz i5 model) running Lion, Sony Bravia TV, HDMI sounds cuts out after a while with the console error "Aug 15 18:30:25 Mini kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != result" failed in AppleHDAWidget at line 3957 goto handler".
    Interestingly, after the error occurs, I can still get 5.1 sound through Plex, but not through Quicktime. 2.0 sound and system sounds all fail until I reboot the system.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would prefer not to have to return the Mini.
    Thanks.

  • Left, right, or both sound channels cutting out

    Hello folks,
    This is a second thread I am creating to ask some questions about this other problem I have:
    I have a fourth-gen ipod photo. I bought it just before they rolled out the ipod color. I have used this device pretty heavily, I take it with me everywhere I go. I've tried to take good care of my iPod... no major drops, minimal jars, only unplugging it when there's no I/O access, and trying not to charge it until the battery is low.
    For several months I have been having issues with sound channels on my headphones cutting out. At first, it was just annoying: left or right sound channel cutting out, fixed simply by nudging the headphone plug in the jack.
    Lately, however, this is becoming a bigger problem. This problem does not affect the ipod playing back music in any way, aside from the fact that sometimes the ipod will think I've unplugged the headphone.
    Now, sound will completely cut out. Sometimes I hear nothing. Sometimes fidelity will drop pretty heavily and everything sounds like I was listening to my music underwater. Sometimes, just the left or right sound channels cut out. Again, all of this fixes itself by wiggling the headphone jack in its plug.
    I use a pair of $20 walmart special Sony Street Style (very nice sound quality, actually) in most cases, but also use it with a pair of American Audio DJ headphones. The Sony headphones have an L-shaped plug, but the AA headphones have a more traditional sticks-straight-out plug.
    I am looking to fix this problem myself. I plan on opening up my iPod to install a new battery and maybe fix the other problem I am having (see my other thread), and I am not afraid of the insides of the device.
    What I am asking is if anyone else has had this problem, or a something similar? My guess is that the headphone jack's solderpoints on the PCB have become loose, so if I go in there and resolder the jack then I hope everything is hunky-dory. I've seen repair sites that sell the entire headphone assembly for like $50. Would it be better just to replace the whole thing?
    Please note that I have no intentions (nor the money) to have a "genius" fix my iPod. (Where's the fun in that, anyway?) Further, I can not afford (and will not buy) another iPod, so that's out too. I am simply looking to fix my iPod and keep limping along until I can afford a newer mp3 player.
    Any help is appreciated
    tom

    Hello,
    It looks to me that it can be caused by the bad contact of the metal parts of earphone jack or the loose of its solder with the mother board. Both of them should not be too difficult to deal with if you are good in small elect. device.

  • AirTunes sound constantly cuts out on Laptop

    Both me and my roommate play our iTunes through the single house stereo via AirTunes, me on my iMac and her on her MacBook. I never have problems with my playback, but half the time she uses it the sound will cut out constantly. There will be a few seconds of sound, then a few seconds of silence, on and on.
    It's very annoying.
    Neither of us experiences any problems or cutting out with using the internet at all, even while this AirTunes problem is happening.
    We've tried setting the iTunes streaming buffer size to large. I've lowered the security on the Express to WPA only, increased the multicast rate to 11 and enabled interference robustness. We've also tried closing all other apps on her machine and installing more RAM. none of which has helped the problem.
    She's using a MacBook2,1 and OSX 10.4.11
    Any help would be much appreciated as this is driving us both mad.

    Thanks for the welcome!
    And for the info. At first i thought this might be a good lead, since for the first time in the months since i bought the Express my iMac iTunes started having this problem as well (though this is probably just because i hardly use the AirTunes feature). But lowering the multicast rate doesn't seem to have any affect on the issue either. So i've effectively ruled out the multicast rate as any sort of cause/solution to the problem.
    I've tried watching the network activity monitor when this is occurring, but see no correlation between the network activity and the periods of silence from the AirTunes.
    The wiring doesn't seem to be a problem either, as i can hook up either computer to the jack going into the express and it plays just fine.
    Maybe i just have a dud Express unit?

  • Mavericks - Why does my sound keep cutting out?

    I installed the most recent security update two days ago, which I thought was just for Safari, but now my sound cuts out to about 10% for a second every two to three minutes. It happens in iTunes and Spotify. Anyone else having this issue?
    I'm on a Mid 2012 15-inch MB

    Yeah Kase12 I was just wondering if you ever figured out what was making this happen...I have tried replacing all the cables and it still does it...Every couple minutes the sound will cut out for a few seconds then come back on and it might be 30 miniutes before it does it again or it might do every 4 minutes theres no pattern to it
    .If you figured it out could you please shoot me an email at [email protected] thanks

  • My Iphone 5 has no sound coming outing out of the speaker.

    My Iphone 5 has no sound coming outing out of the speaker. I dont have it on silent. My dad and I blew into the speaker and it worked for a second then didnt work again!! HELP!!!

    Hey Amiee_19,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your Ring/Silent switch may be toggled:
    Ring/Silent switch - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01398
    Ring/Silent switch
    Flip the Ring/Silent switch to put iPhone in ring mode or silent mode .
    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 apps such as Music, and many games play sounds through the built-in speaker, even when iPhone is in silent mode. In some areas, the sound effects for Camera and Voice Memos are played, even if the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent.
    For information about changing sound and vibration settings, see Sounds and silence.
    Use Do Not Disturb. You can also silence calls, alerts, and notifications using Do Not Disturb. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the Do Not Disturb button . See Do Not Disturb.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see this article:

  • Ipad 2 has no sound, no bar, and side buttons don't work.

    my sound cut out randomly yesterday and I suspected that it was on mute but it wasn't and nothing I try listening to/watching even has a volume control. It's like volume never existed in the first place.
    I Reset the factory settings, had it off for 4 hours, and cleaned the ports....nothing.

    Try a device reset:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

  • IPad video has no sound

    why when I am accessing the site www.sportlemon.tv (www.trombar.com) the video has no sound?

    Found the fix.
    If the reboot doesn't fix it.
    If the headphoens work find, but no external speakers.
    If the double-click and page right to the software mute, doesn't show the sound knob - just the brightness
    If your pop-up shows "Docking Station"
    Then, the problem is very likely a dirty connector.  The iPad/iPhone/iPod connector uses a resistor value to determine if the device is connected to an external 'speaker'.  There are a range of resistances, for a range of products.  This is known as the Connector Pin 21 issue.
    Take some windex on a que-tip, or perhaps a Windex paper scrub and rub it on the bottom connector port.  Somehow, "something" has gotten on those contacts, and it is pulling the voltage on pin #21 down - so that the iPad "thinks" it's connected to an external speaker - this will disable the internal speaker circuitry, as well as the internal speaker volume controls.
    Do not over-saturate and short out your iPad.  Do not throw it in the sink, do not use the kitchen faucet to flush it out.  A Que-tip with a few drops of Windex (or other gentle cleaner) should work just fine.  Takes all of 30 seconds - and magically, the volume knob appeared and everything worked just fine.

  • My iPad 2 has no sounds or alerts.

    my ipad 2 32 gig has no sounds.  Settings are set with various sounds and volume is 100%.  Can a one help?

    Most likely you turned Mute or Do Not Disturb on. To turn off mute use the side switch or Control Center. To turn Do not Disturb off use the Control Center, look for the cresent moon.

  • IPad 2 has no sound unless I use headphones???

    My iPad has no sound unless I use headphones. Any suggestions? I have checked all settings, etc.

    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; 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

  • HT201269 My iPad 2 has no sound and won't charge

    I haven't been able too charge my iPad for quite some time now it takes weeks too get 18 % charge and sound is in and out mostly out...... Ever since I installed operating system 7what do I do? What happened ? Very upset

    Have you tried cleaning the dock connector opening? If you have a soft brush - a toothbrush will work - try cleaning the opening. If there is any debris in there than can cause issues with sound. Some users say to use just a little bit of rubbing alcohol as well to clean the contacts.

  • IPad 3 speakers crackling and then cuts out completely

    Please can you help? My ipad 3 loud speaker has started crackling and then completely cutting out. I have tried rebooting,installing updates and cleaning the connector/ docking point but none of these have worked.
    Can you help?
    Thanks.

    I had the same issue when using the M-Audio unit.
    My solution was to set "Sound Scheme" to "none"
    For some reason when recording, when there is a system
    generated sound (like a click from a web page being loaded) it
    messes up the audio.
    It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

  • Satellite L755D - sound keeps cutting out for no apparent reason

    I posted this in another thread, but thought I might need to start one of my own since a solution had been found by that person and I am still having a problem. So, about three weeks ago the sound on my computer began just cutting out for no apparent reason.  It happened while I was watching streaming video and I tried updating all my software stuff (like flash and java and things of that nature).  It still continued to happen and now it was happening with streaming video, with youtube type videos, and with mp3s stored on this computer. I discovered that if I went to the control panel and clicked on sound/hardware and then clicked on the tab for recording, the sound immediately came back.  So, I've been doing this for the past couple of weeks and it is extremely annoying! In another thread on ths forum, the individual discovered that the Malwarebytes program had been the culprit and I was happy to have an answer, except that I had installed security software last week which removed MB from my computer.  And I continue to have the issue even today.  I clicked on the link in the other thread to update my drivers and I continue to have the issue. Can anyone help?  It's making me crazy! Thanks in advance.

    OK - I'm getting this as well. Satellite L750-1E5. It was fine for ages and this started happening about a month ago now. - tried updating the drivers - System restored back to when it worked, not working This led me to think it was a hardware problem. My gut feeling however was that it was some sort of driver problem as sound would cutout after about 2 minutes, but would often come back if I started playing another song or something. Reinstalled Windows 7(64 bit) and played through an entire song with no issues(using Windows 7 sound drivers). Ran Windows update and the issue has come back.  Installed the proper Conexant driver, but issue still occurring. I believe a Windows update has caused this issue.
