My iPhone 4S won't play certain sounds

I just got this as a hand me down from my boyfriend because he has the new 5, pretty great condition, played all the sounds, videos, musics, etc with no problems.
I was playing a game earlier today with no issues, sound was great, and listened to music yesterday. For some reason it's not working now. I hear calls fine, FaceTime works well, and so do the little tests sounds in the settings. But it doesn't play sound for videos, games, music, or even the little texting clicks. The sound bar that usually shows up when you decrease or increase volume with the buttons doesn't show up, and the sound bar is completely gone when I try to play music.
Not sure what happened seeing as I've only been on Facebook and Skype since playing my game earlier. And yes, I've made sure that it is off of silent/vibrate. Just not sure what to check or do, seeing as this is my first iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I have already tried resetting using the home/lock buttons.

  • I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

    Michael,
    Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
    As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
    Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
    Best regards,
    David

  • Ipad speaker not playing certain sounds or only playing them softly

    Not sure if this is the right category. My Ipad speaker seems to not be playing certain sounds, for instance on the song Norwegian Wood the sitar is near silent.  Have to put my ear right against the speaker to even hear it. I've tried a few different versions of the songs on different sites and in different apps but it's always the same, and it appears to be like this on other songs. Any help? Is there something I can adjust or is it in need of repairs? It's still under warranty. Thanks

    Assuming that you are playing the songs in the Music app and not some third party app, you should probably have the iPad evaluated at an Apple Store. But before you do that, try this. Then see what happens.
    Quit the music app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Qosmio G50 won't play certain disks

    Hey
    Recently my dvd drive in my Qosmio G50 won't play certain disks.
    You can hear it attempting to then suddenly stopping and starting again. Others work fine but some just wont play.
    I try them in other computers and it plays fine. So its not the disks.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi
    This is nothing unusual and happens to all possible CD/DVD drives
    I made the same experience with my CD/DVD drive.
    What you could do is to check if an firmware update for your CD/DVD drive is available.
    For that you should check the Toshiba European driver page the Qosmio G50 driver area.
    Please check more info for details about supported CD/DVD drives
    Otherwise I recommend using and testing different disks from different manufacturers.
    My CD/DVD drive supports TDK and Verbatim but dont read other disks from other no-name manufacturer

  • IPhone 4 won't play music in car when through USB when connected to Bluetooth aswell.

    Hi Guys
    Could someone help me. My iphone connects to my car through a USB connector and works fine. When I also connect to my car Bluetooth the sound dissapears after a minute or so. My display still shows the song playing but no sound. I can still go through play lists change track etc but no noise. If I unplug the cable and plug back in again it will work again and after another minute or so the sound cuts out again. Sometimes it won't play at all.
    It seems to work fine if the bluetooth isn't connected although I have not tested this extensively.
    I have tried in 2 other cars to make sure it isn't a fault with the car and I get the same result.
    It isn't linked to any software upgrade.
    Has anybody else heard of this or know a solution????
    Thanks
    Michael.

    Hi
    Just to update for the last time. I have realised that if the bluetooth is paired to the car the music sound either does not play or plays for around a minute then cuts out. This still happens even if I disconnect the bluetooth connection. However if I delete the phone completely out at the car and cancel the pairing, the music plays fine no issues.
    I guess somehow it is therefore based around the bluetooth. I have checked all menus I can find on the car and the phone to make sure there is no setting wrong somewhere. I cannot understand why it plays for a short time and then stops, seems like an intermittant fault ???
    Thanks
    Michael.

  • Iphone 3Gs won't play on Sony Dock

    Ever since I've updated my phone to ios 5, my phone wouldn't play music through my Sony dock. The model number is :ICF-CS15I. I just got this for Christmas and it was working fine until I updated my iphone. Can somebody please help me?

    Just asking, but is the mute switch on? I have read a couple of notices that there were some changes on how certain sounds work when the mute switch is on.

  • IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

    I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ?  Anybody help please.  Thanks

  • IPhone 4S won't play music from internal speaker

    My iPhone 4S is having an issue with the internal speaker. Originally, I was able to play music from iTunes, Pandora, videos, etc. w/out having headphones or an external speaker system connected to the audio input. Now, the phone isn't playing back sound from the internal speaker, unless I have headphones/speaker connected. Keyboard clicks and text message alerts are also not coming through, even though that option is turned on. The Ring/Silent button is on, the volume is on high, and I've also restarted the phone a few times. The only way I've got the internal speaker to play w/out having an external speaker system connected to the audio input is if I test different ringers; then it will playback, but not for any other audio format (videos, songs, keyboard clicks, etc.)
    Any ideas on how to fix this issue? I'm out of ideas...Thank you!!

  • IPod won't play certain songs

    Hi,
    I old iPod died during a firmware upgrade and I went out and bought a fifth gen video iPod. I thought it was great but it is having problems.
    1) When playing through playlists it comes to certain songs that it just won't play. The clock says 0:00 and doesn't advance. One can simply skip the song by moving forwards or backwards or going back to the menu. The songs play just fine in iTunes. However more and more songs are now not playing on the iPod.
    They are not purchased from iTunes but are loaded from CD. So this is not the same problem previously reported. I have started loading songs back from the CDs but I do not want to go through this again a thousand times.
    2) If I listen to songs on the iPod (the ones that work) and assign ratings, the ratings are not transferred back to the iTunes library. Neither does the play count get update. I do not have it set on manual sync.
    I have tried everything in the articles I have found. No luck. I still think the last software for the iPod is a bit flaky...
    Grateful for any ideas.

    I have almost the same exact problem. The songs play fine on my computer (on iTunes) but some will be skipped on the actual iPod. When I attach my iPod and look at its library, the songs don't appear "ghosted" out but some have the little next to them.

  • Songs on Iphone now won't play, how do i fix this?

    I downloaded several songs from itunes from my phone. most continue to play, a couple played a few times and now wont play at all. I synced my iphone to my computer, took the songs off my iphone and put them back on and they still won't play. Ive redownloaded the songs and they still wont play. All of the songs will play on my computer but for some reason those few wont play just on my iphone. please help!

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • IPhone 5 won't play video messages in fullscreen

    iPhone 5 running iOS 8.1
    When receiving a video through Messages or SMS, the phone will play the video but it will not blow it up into fullscreen. Around about trick can be done by going into details and selecting the video there but it won't play the video completely in fullscreen either. If it is a vertical video it will stay shrunk that way.

    Thanks Colin.

  • My iPod Touch 4th Gen won't play certain songs?

    Okay, so here's what happened. I opened my iTunes (the latest one) and it's also on the latest iOS, and then plugged my iPod touch into the computer. Since an album didn't have album artwork and I wanted an album artwork to show up in my ipod, I added them. After that, I let it sync. After that, I tried to play it but it won't play. Since it is a bunch of songs from an album (Adele-19), when I try to press and play it, it would skip swiftly and it won't play. The album artwork is there already but it won't play, instead, it will skip songs. When I tried to play it in iTunes, it works perfectly.
    Also, I've tried turning the device off, even tried resetting it. But no luck. I just got this device last Christmas, didn't fall or anything. Can someone help me? Should I delete the music and put it on iTunes again? Thanks in advance!

  • Safari won't play certain videos

    Hi there,
    it came to my attention that my Safari (latest version) won't play any video on the site "www.collegehumor.com". YouTube and every other popular site works fine for me. After googling this problem, I tried to play the videos with a different user; without success. After that, I uninstalled the Flash Player and reinstalled it (latest version), because this was suggested by my google searches... but I still can't play any video on collegehumor.com.
    Has anyone any idea what the problem might be?
    thanks in advance!
