No Sound Alerts

I used to have all my sound alerts in iChat but now they don't work anymore. I deleted all the plist files I could find in the library but that didn't seem to help. Anybody got any ideas?

Hi

I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen. How can I make the sound alert work?

I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S. I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds. After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?" I didn't even know such a function existed. Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual. If it is green, turn it off. You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu). I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere. Good luck!

Sound alerts not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9

I just noticed my Sound alets not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9.
I'm using soundsticks which is playing sounds thru quicktime, itunes, etc but my alert sounds for getting new emails and IM messages is not working. I get the quick "white flash" on the screen instead. I checked the prefs on both apps and it is set to give me the alert sound, I can even test it in the ichat pref when I change the new message alert sound it will play it thru my speakers but when I get a new message in either app it just gives me the white flash.
I'm read that it can be an issue of not having the balance in the system sound pref set the middle, so I checked that, restarted, all that but still no luck.
I really like the sound alert features because I can be in another part of my house, turn the sound way up and I'll know when one of my clients is trying to reach me but now I can't do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Sound alerts won't turn off

How do I stop my MacBook Pro making sounds alerts like whizz, pop and buzz every time do something in an app.? I unchecked all the sound effect boxes in System preferences but that did nothing. They aren't sounds that appear on that list either. I have to keep the volume turned off instead.
I did migrate files and applications from my G4 powerbook running 10.3 Panther to the new MacBook Pro, would this have had any effect?
Any ideas?

apple store pointed out the alert volume slider is not the same as the play user sound effects check box and you need to turn it down as well as unchecking the box.

Iphone doesn't make a sound alert when get texts many times

Has anyone else noticed that sometimes you get a sound alert that you got a text and many times you do not?

Hello, Nina1125.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure that you have a Text Tone set in Settings > Sounds. If your device is witched to silent Text Tones will not be audible.

Pop and Tink Sound Alerts

Trivial, but annoying problem. The sound alerts : POP and TINK are not audible under Soundsticks output, only under Internal Speaker. All other effects work fine under both outputs. I've tried restarting, booting as System Administrator...same problem.
Any ideas?

Hi, enjoy it how it is, sometime in the future I'm sure the answer will show up in the forums..L

Receive Mail Sound Alert Not Working

I had to remove and subsequently add my gmail account to rectify a problem. The problem was resolved by this action however since performing activity I no longer hear the message sound alert. I have checked all of my settings and sound volumes etc. and everything is set up correctly. I've even changed the sound alert to another sound but it still doesn't work.
Any suggestions??

Hi Barry,
Thanks for your suggestion but I'm not quite sure what you mean by the preference file..is it in mail preferences, sound preferences? If you could provide a bit more "hand holding" for me, it would be appreciated.

How do I set individual sound alerts for multiple email accounts?

Here: http://www.guidingtech.com/15275/get-different-notifications-per-mail-account-io s-6/
Long and short of it, the settings can be individually changed under Notifications. Select Mail and then the account you want to change the sound to.

Sound Alert for Incoming Mail Not Working

I have searched for a solution to above but not found any. All settings are correct in Mail Preferences and Sound Preferences but the lack of a sound alert when mail arrives still persists.
This problem exists on all three Macs - 15' MBP, 24 iMac and 27" iMac - how weird is that?
Any help would be appreciated.
Joe

Joe, go to Mail --> Preferences --> Accounts. Now do this in each account affected - click Advanced and uncheck "Use IDLE command if the server supports it".
Now send yourself some test messages. You should now hear the new mail chime. Let us know if this resolves your issue. Cheers!

Charge sound alert on Ipad

The sound alert when starting to charge has disappeared. This is no doubt due to a change in settings. How do I restore this sound?

You cannot charge the sound, but it could be and probably has been muted with system sounds.
If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
