Rezound notification/alarm sounds change randomly

Has anybody else noticed these sounds changing randomly?  I had an email arrive one night, and instead of my normal simply beep...it started randomly playing a podcast.  Needless to say, my wife is not amused with my new phone.  This morning, instead of being awoken by my typical song that starts off slow, and slowly builds...it randomly changed to a song that starts off with a loud screeching sound.
Of course, now that I am outside of my return period, my wife is threatening to throw my phone across the room if it wakes her up in the middle of the night with a frightening sound again.  Any thoughts?  I know there are more people with this problem, as I saw it listed as one of the "other widespread" problems on the XDA forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1342600.html).
Any thoughts?

Are all your notifications tones custom ones?  Are the custom tones saved in the following folder structure?  This is the default folders that I have found that Android defaults to looking in first after the system folders and will automatically add the tones to the proper selections lists.
(Internal or the SD card memory):\media\audio\ringtones
(Internal or the SD card memory):\media\audio\notifications
(Internal or the SD card memory):\media\audio\alarms
I did have a similar issue with my Thunderbolt after a system update.  I was finally able to clear the issue up by clearing all the data in the "HTC Sense" app.  I had to set up all my homescreens, wallpaper, and ringtones all over again.  It was worth the effort since it was wasn't full factory reset.  Of which I was planning to do if the data clearing didn't work.

  • Ringtone and notification sounds change randomly

    this was posted awhile ago on the thunderbolt site but was never answered, seems it was posted in the thunderbolt forum, the Rezound I have changes to factory verizon ringtone and a different notification sound on its own, is anyone else having this issue, and is there a fix out there? thanks

    I have also thought it might be related to the speed class of the SD card. When the phone boots up it has to mount the SD card. If the mounting is slower than when the phone searches for the ringtones, the phone reverts to stock tones.
    I was occasionally seeing this on my Tbolt with the class 4 micro SD card that came with the phone. I haven't seen the issue since switching to a class 10 card.

  • Headphones stop working after a certain time and the notification for sound change has disappeared

    HP Pavilion dv6-6176sa
    Win7 64bit.
    I have a Pavilion dv6, and occasionally no sound will go through headphones when the jack is plugged in. The headphones themselves are not at fault, they are brand new and work fine.
    When the headphones are plugged in, the sound will only go through the laptop speakers. I've tried updating the drivers, fiddling with the jack and socket (as I read on google), the only resolution I have found is to restart the comp, which is a bit of a pisstake in all fairness and I'd rather not do that every time it happens.
    5 minutes ago I was watching a TV show, listening through the headphones, when I pulled out my USB mouse (and accidentally the charger with it). The sound then switched from the headphones to the speaker.
    If I open the sound settings, it will display the headphones as being plugged in, but the sound indicator bar (thingy) will only rise and fall on the speaker icon bar.
    Currently I have the audio jack pulled out about a centimetre, this allows sound through the headphones, but the sound is noticeably different to what it should be.
    I had rolled it back to "High Definition Audio Device", then reinstalled it to the most current driver. This hasn't fixed it.
    Also, this may be a related issue: (I guess) around the same time, the beats audio notification that pops up on screen when the volume is changed  has disappeared and doesn't display when the volume has changed.
    In microsoft sound control panel, it has the default speakers and the headphone logo, when i plug in the jack, a green phone circle thing appears by the headphone option, meaning it works i guess. However, the description changes from "ready" to "default communications device" and nothing changes for the regular speaker device.
    When I go to >configure, and test each (L/R) speaker, if the headphones are plugged in, the noise is louder then when they're not plugged it
    But yeah, brand new headphones, brand new laptop, it's mad. What's madder is that the headphones will work for x amount of time, then stop working when I next try to use them...

  • Switching to different alarm sounds in ical for notifications

    Dear Reader,
    Can someone help me with this! I use iCal in iPhone for al sorts of things, and like to have a choice in selecting a alarm-sound for different occasions
    ( wake-up, lunch, birthday, appointments, etc. )
    Adding different sounds to different notifications will make it easier ( and more fun ) for the ear to distinguish the priority.
    Greetings Charlie
    PS. I found this on the net but that does not fix my  ( iPhone - iCal ) problem!
    Change or silence the default alarm sound for iCal events

  • Find Friends app-how to change alarm sound?

    i have no problem with the Find Friends app, and use it to let me know when my wife is leaving her office. however, the alarm sound is tri-tone and sounds like most everything else that alerts my iphone 4s. i cannot find anywhere to change this particular alarm sound to something else so that i can hear specifically when she leaves her office, other than checking the phone itself every time it tri-tones. can someone clue me in?

    you'll need to do some digging into the mail app to do this. Right-click on the Mail app in finder and select "show package contents". open the contents folder, then the resources folder and navigate down to whatever sound you want to change ("mail sent.aiff"). Make a copy of the original sound file and paste it somewhere else, then drag and drop whatever new .aiff sound file you want to use, renamed so the file name is exactly the same as the one you want to replace, into the resources window.

  • Device for sound output changing randomly

    After the latest OS update, I've been having issues with my sound output settings. My sound will play most the time through the "line out" setting, but then randomly the "sound effects" will play thru the internal speakers. I keep changing the setting in the "sound" panel of system prefs but it keeps changing randomly on me. I've saved the setting and rebooted and thought it would be fine, but it keeps doing it. Once my Sound Output setting were changed too, and my music just started playing thru the internal speaker.
    Anyone know what's up with this, and what could correct the problem?

    It may sound silly, but from my own experience (having had exactly the same problem while working on a soundtrack) after snooping around I found that the plug/cable I was using (a cheapo cable) was somehow the guilty party.
    It fit snugly, no wobble, no crackling, changed the cable and all problems went away.
    Same cable works 100% now used to hook up the iPhone to the mixer.
    Seems to make no sense, and yet... voodoo (or a badly soldered plug).

  • How to change the alarm sound for CALENDAR events?

    I missed an important meeting today, thanks to the almost-inaudible and incredibly short alarm sound in the Calendar app.
    Is there a way to change the alarm sound for events in Calendar?
    Setting another alarm in Clock is viable but obviously inconvenient.
    Thanks in advance!

    Settings > Sounds > Calendar. Maybe it was inaudible because yoursound was not turned up.

  • Can i change the default alarm sound on Iphone 4s

    Can the default alarm sound be changed for new alarms. My mother got an Iphone 4s recently and she can use Siri to set alarms for her, however the default alarm sound is always chosen and that is just not a loud enough sound. And it takes a some messing about to change the sound of the alarm and my 60 year old mother has trouble with changing it.
    Is there any way i can make it change perminently, any help would be much appriciated.

    The default alarm sound is the last sound you used.

  • HT5463 Using Do Not Disturb, will my alarm sound, but silence calls, texts and notifications?

    If I use Do Not Disturb, will my alarm sound, but silence text, and calls?

    Actually Alarm will NOT sound. Tested today, by being late to work because of this. As far as I understand, the best workaround is to schedule the DND function to turn off right before the alarm.
    Then there is something wrong with your device. I've done repeated tests on a variety of devices. The alarm sounds. You have to be using the built in Clock app.
    Have you tried resetting your device? Force closing the Clock app? Have you made sure that the volume was turned up?
    Best of luck.

  • Odd sound change in some games

    Background: I recently installed Windows XP, and updated the drivers using the Creative Updater on the support site. since then whenever i run a specific game (DiabloII in this situation) the sound automatically gets louder and degraded. Previously I was running windows 98 with the .vxd version drivers without any issues. This occurs regardless of whether EAX/AudioHQ is installed or not. Originally I tried a driver upgrade installation, since then I've also tried a clean installation of the drivers with the same results..
    sound card: Soundblaster Audigy (not mp3, platinum, gamer etc...) / 5.2.5.44 version drivers.
    I've seen a couple of posts regarding the EAX control panel and settings while running some games. In the posts I've read, when AudioHQ is installed there is no ability to change the EAX settings while the game runs. Previous posts have suggested a clean installation of the drivers to remedy the issue, which does not seem to work in this case.
    Mostly this is affecting me due to the fact i run a minidisc player on the line in jack. Even though I change the source of the line in settings, so that the line in doesn't use the master settings, the line in is still affected. In windows 98, if a game attempted to override the eax settings this was the fix i used.
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Is it all apps or just some games. Some games have their own sound settings. If it is all apps, you may have system sounds muted.
    If you lose 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.

  • Alarm sounds in my ear when I'm on the phone

    I was wondering if there is a way to program my phone so the alarm doesn't sound loudly in my ear when I'm speaking on the phone. Sometimes I receive calls before my alarm goes off. In the middle of the call, the alarm sounds loudly. Is there a setting I can change so that when I'm using the phone the alarm is silenced automatically?

    There is no setting for that. You can make a suggestion to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/
