My repaired itouch doesn't play sounds

Today, I just got a repair for my itouch that had a ******** screen touch that didn't respond. I never got a new one for the repair. It looked "new" but it waa actually something that has been fixed from a crappy one. Great, now it doesn't play a ******* sound without the earphones. What am I supposed to do now? Get a repair AGAIN?

Yes. get it fixed again. Just like was said in a response (by other) to you post. Please do not double post in the future.other

My iphone 4s doesn't play sound out loud but the ringtone works....

Hello,
Thanks in advance for any advice / help you can give me.
My iphone 4s doesn't play sound out loud, but my ringtone works. Music & videos also play with the headphones in, but if I want to watch a video or listen to music without headphones it will not make a sound, even though these things display they are playing on the screen.... does anyone have any ideas.
I have rebooted etc but that hasn't worked
Thanks

Have you looked at the Ring/Silent switch on the side of the device? It may have been moved to the Silent position.

5G iPod doesn't play sound

I have a 5G 30GB iPod that just today stopped playing and sound. It still lets you scroll through the menus and also shows its playing a song, but you cannot hear anything. It won't play sound through the headphone jack, and I also have an Alpine CD Player with the iPod direct connect cable, and that does not work as well. I reset the iPod today and that did not do anything, and I also tried restoring it and that did not fix the problem as well. I contacted Apple support and found out it would cost $130 to fix my iPod, but the lady I talked to could not tell me what is exactly wrong with the iPod because she had never heard of this problem before. I'm basically looking to hopefully fix it myself since I dont want to shell out $130 to repair it, but probably will give in if I cannot fix this myself.

mine does the same thing...i got it replaced once under warranty and they gave me a "new" one which began to malfunction 3 months after i got it :\ It plays the music all staticy and when i took it in they told me nothing was wrong with it...but it doesn't play and ive changed the head phones and reset it and run all the diagnostic tests...needless to say im very dissappointed with apple right now! what makes it worse is when i took it in the ipod wasn't even registered to me which means they gave me someone else's ipod which had been replaced! but since it was out of warranty when i found out it was 140 to get a new one if they found something wrong with it. so idk but this is my 2nd 5G ipod and i think its a bug that is in all of them.

After Effects CS6 doesn't play sound of MTS file when imported to ae.

When I record a file on my canon hfr10 camcorder and imports to my windows computer, it plays sound when played when open with windows media player. But when i import to After Effects, it doesn't have the audio thingy near the "lock layer" button. It doesnt play audio.

The audio is probably on the wrong tracks because your recording settings were set to channel 3&4, not 1&2. AE still only does stereo and simply doesn't see extra tracks. no chance. you need to extract the audio in an external program and import it as a separate file. Premiere should be able to handle this, but feel free to use otehr tools.

My iphone doesn´t play sound on logitech pure-fi anywhere

Hi,
my iphone 4 recently quit playing music over the logitec Pure-Fi Anywhere Speakers. It did before but it doesn´t anymore. My husbands iphone still cooperates so it can´t be the speakers who are broken. My iphone still plays the sound on it´s own speakers but it won´t play them loud on the logitech speakers. I had this problem before but after a while it worked again ... is it a button I need to press or something else I am missing?
Thanks!

Reset your iPhone while it is connected to the PureFi: Hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo and let go.

Gigaframe L81 doesn't play sound in videos shot by Nokia phone. Can Q81 do?

Hi All.
My parents have bought Gigaframe L81 photo frame.
My mother tried to use the photoframe to watch the videos shot by her Nokia phone. And the problem was that no sound was reproduced by the photoframe
As far as I know, newer Nokia phones shoot videos in the following format
Video: MPEG4 Video 640x480
Audio: AAC 48000Hz mono 768Kbps
When I look at the Gigaframe L80 & L81 features at the off. cite
http://www.toshiba.eu/photoframe/detailsl80.htm
I see that it is said to support only Audio: MP3
At the same time Gigaframe Q80 & Q81 claim to support more sound codecs:
http://www.toshiba.eu/photoframe/detailsq80.htm
Audio: MP3, AAC, OGG
So I have the following questions:
1) Are Q80 & Q81 actually more superior models than L80 & L81 ? My parents thought that L80 & L81 are better models, since they have a bigger screen. They thought that L80 & L81 should have more features. But it seems that Q80 & Q81 support more sound formats...
2) Does Q80 & Q81 actually support AAC & support AAC audio streams in MP4 video files ?
3) How can I know if Toshiba is going to add AAC support to L80 & L81 ? Or maybe my parents should sell their L81 and buy Q81 or something else ?
My parents are not going to use the software which comes on the CD to convert their videos, because first the software is too difficult for them, the other reason is that it takes time to convert the videos to formats supported by the frame and that means that all benefits from using a frame over a PC are gone...

Hello yura-v,
I am a Gigaframe L81 user also.
I asked the Toshiba Support Team, if there will be released a firmware update or something else.
They told me no. Toshiba is not going to add AAC support to L80 & L81 at the moment.
If Q80 & Q81 actually support AAC & support AAC audio streams in MP4 video files, I could not say sure, because I am only an owner of a Gigaframe L81.
I think the best way is, your parents should buy an Q80 or 81 and test this.
If this both doesn´t support the AAC streams they could give back the frame within 14 days.
If they support the AAC they can sell their L81 frame and keep the Q80 or Q81.
best regards

MiniDP port doesn't play sound via HDMI

I have connected it from the computer to the HD tv, and the video works. But the sound will not transfer, The sound preferences doesn't show any outputs but the internal speakers, and I checked the MIDI setup Utility, and it also did not show it as an option.

Hi, guidino. I have a late-2008 unibody MBP like yours, and I don't expect Apple will ever enable our mini-Displayports to output audio signals. But there are adapters that will combine audio and video signals from our machines into a single HDMI cable and resolve the problem you describe in your post. Here are three:
This one draws 5.1-channel optical digital audio from the headphone port and power from a USB port:
http://kanexlive.com/products/item.aspx?id=3495
This one draws 2-channel stereo audio from a USB port:
http://kanexlive.com/products/item-id-3323.html
This is similar to the first one linked above, but less expensive:
http://www.cablematters.com/pc-56-26-mini-displayport-male-and-toslink-audiousb- male-to-hdmi-female-adapter.aspx
I don't know where you are located, but you should be able to find these adapters or similar ones somewhere near you, or at an online vendor who ships to your country.

My BlackBerry doesn't play sounds?

Hi, i've had my BlackBerry Curve 8520 for a while, and i've had no problems with it until today. I would change my sound profile to 'Normal' and it wouldn't play the sound whenever I got a message. I went into Edit Profiles > Normal > Messages > SMS > and I would go all the way to the bottom and press Try It, but the sound wouldn't play. Please help me! Thanks !
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
I think you can try two things : the soft reboot, and if it does not work, the hard reboot. Don't worry, you can't lose data with these two reboots.
Soft reboot :
1) Hit the three following keys at the same time :
- Alt
- Right Shift
- Delete
2) wait 2 minutes for the Blackberry to wake up.
Hard reboot :
1) your Blackberry device is on
2) remove the battery and wait for a minute
3) Put the battery back
4) wait 5 minutes for the device to wake up.
Please tell us if it works for you.

[SOLVED]systemd service doesn't play sound

I have a bash script which play via 'sox' a sound file. Something like this:
play someFile -t alsa -q
I set up a 'systemd --user' timer which calls this script at certain time. The timer is successfully called and the corresponding service is also successfully called and exits with SUCCESS code. The problem is that sound is not heared.
When the service is called manually from the bash with
systemctl start mySoundTimer.service
the sound is played OK.
The service file is as follows:
[Unit]
Description= A sound timer.
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash /path/to/my/script.sh
I tried several other combinations in ExecStart:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c /path/to/my/script.sh
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash "-c /path/to/my/script.sh"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c "/path/to/my/script.sh"
No one is working. What can be the cause of the problem?
EDIT:
The cause of this is a different timing behaviour of systemd timer as compared to cron which I used before. (It seemingly takes into account the time of the last run and does not run again if it is called in less than the interval between runs specified in the timer file. And I tested the timer by setting the system date to several seconds before the timer's planned times.)

Note that this setting does not directly support shell command
lines. If shell command lines are to be used they need to be passed
explicitly to a shell implementation of some kind. Example:
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'dmesg | tac'
Thanks, changing ExecStart line to
ExecStart=/bin/bash -c '/bin/echo 100 > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness'
solved the issue. Though I can recall seeing ExecStart lines with direct shell commands.

Pidgin doesn't play sounds

With pidgin I can play a sound in the preferences if I click test but during a conversation I get nothing. What could cause that?

Now don't all yell at me at once, there is appearently a setting that says "sounds when conversation has focus" that I needed to check. I swear that wasn't there last time I used pidgin.

Problem with Dock Connector, Ipod Charges but doesn't play sounds

We have two Ipod Touch 3rd generation at home. We recently bought a stereo with a dock to play music from our iTouch.
One of the Ipods works just fine with it, but the other will only charge and not play music. When I try to see my output options I can only select Ipoud Touch or Apple TV. When I am playing music with the working Ipod I can choose between Dock Connector and Apple TV.
I have already tried hard reset but nothing has changed.
Any suggestions? I would REALLy appreciate your help.
Thanks!

- Do they both have the same iOS? The latest is 5.1?
- Look at the dock connectors for both units and compare them., Loof for bent, missing or corroded contacts and other abnormalities.
- Tey the following with the non-working one:
- Reset. Nothing is 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.

ITouch Doesn't Play Purchased Content

The very first time I synced my iPod Touch with my computer, I got this error when trying to play a video on it: "This movie could noe be played." I also experienced that purchased music would not play either. When I clicked on the purchased music file, it would just stay at the beginning of the song. If i moved the song slider to the middle of the song and pressed play, the play button would recognize that I pressed it, but the symbol would stay the same and the music still wouldn't play. My other music files that I retrieved off of CDs would play though. What I did to fix it, which I think was just luck, was to sync it again. I don't know what was wrong, or why it got fixed either. Now it happened again, for the second time, and when I tried syncing it again, it stayed the same and the problem persisted. I was on 1.1.2 the first time, and now I am on 1.1.4

I simply went to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset all settings, and the problem was solved. I'm sorry that I didn't try that before posting this, because I could have saved myself the time to type this.

My ipad2 doesn't play sound on most games and apps, what did i do?

I have no sound on most games and apps. But I have sound on pandora and a few others. What's going on here?

Here's what happened to me, and how I resolved it. In my settings, (Settings->General), I had "Use the Slide Switch to:" set to the default, "Mute." I had the slide switch in the mute position when I went into settings and changed the control for the slide switch to "Lock Rotation." This caused the slide switch control to change to rotation locking, but it left the volume control in the muted state.
This is where King_Penguin's response comes in: if the slide switch controls rotation locking, you have to use the home button to get to the mute setting. Double-tap the home button to reveal the application switcher bar at the bottom of the iPad. Then swipe from left to right in that bar to reveal the audio controls. The icon on the far left will be of a speaker. If it has a slash through it, audio is muted. Simply tap the icon to toggle it to a non-muted state. Also, you can verify that the volume level itself is not all the way to the lowest setting. The volume slider is on the right side, next to the Music icon.

Outlook doesn't always play sounds

I have the latest office 365 + win8.1 and outlook doesn't play sounds all the time. It seems to play sounds after I have gone through the advanced settings and told it where the reminder.wav file but if I reboot my PC the sounds are gone again.
there is no "test" button to prove it can play anything, you just have to send yourself an email or calendar event to test it.
Outlook might be trying to send the sounds to my motherboard audio instead of the Bose but who knows. I tried disabling all of the other sound devices except for my Bose sound but that didn't help.
I REALLY want the sounds, the program is close to worthless without it.

I ended up using the Visual Basic for outlook ( ALT-F11 from outlook ) I got from
http://www.shayatik.com/2014/01/how-to-set-outlook-2013-calendar-reminders-to-stay-on-top-and-in-focus/
this code never fails to play a sounds for me, it might play twice but I don't care.. it's better than if it never played.
it also does a pop-up message box
Private Declare Function sndPlaySound32 Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "sndPlaySoundA" (ByVal lpszSoundName As String, ByVal uFlags As Long) As Long
Private Sub Application_NewMail()
Call sndPlaySound32("C:\Windows\Media\Windows Notify Email.wav", 0)

[solved] After sytem update ALSA only plays sound for root

Hello. Yesterday I performed a system update as usual, and after rebooting I found that my user account does not have any sound anymore. Root has sound just fine. I checked and my user is still in the audio group. I even removed him from the group, added him again, and rebooted but it did not help.
I get these error messages in a terminal:
mplayer:
alsa-lib: pcm_dmix.c:989:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore
speaker-test:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:989:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore
Playback open error: -13,Permission denied
Running these with a sudo works 100% fine. Alsamixer levels for my user are normal too.
WORKAROUND: Restart timidity service.
SOLUTION: Do not run timidity as a service in the first place.

Thanks for replying.
My root user actually doesn't play sound, I just tried to play some for testing purpose after my normal user suddenly just had silence.
Unfortunately those IPC-changes did not help. However, I removed my /etc/asound.conf file completely for testing purpose and voila, sound suddenly works again. So it seems the last update changed something that does not accept my asound configuration anymore. I will try to experiment a bit with its contents to further narrow it down.
Ok, this is strange
I commented out an entry
period_time 0
and after that my user had sound again. Then I restored that entry and...sound still works.
I will pretend I didn't see anything and just move along I guess.
