Ringer, Keyboard sounds, etc. quit working

I noticed yesterday that my ringer seemed to have quit working, and also realized that the keyboard clicks and lock/unlock sounds were not sounding, and neither were the text message notifications.
I turned the phone on and off to see if that would help. When that did not, I restored the phone, which worked for a few minutes. The chime sounded for a text message, but when I received a call soon thereafter, it vibrated, but did not ring.
Any ideas? I need to get this phone to last another 2.5 months until I can upgrade to a new one. I'm really hoping I can prevent it from dying before then.

Yes. I've had the phone for quite a while. I have actually tried switching the switch on and off to see if that could be the problem.
Oddly, the sounds have started working again. For no reason that I've been able to ascertain. I'm hoping it isn't a loose wire in the phone, as an out of warranty fix will be as expensive as replacing the phone in 2 months.

Lock screen and keyboard sounds have quit working. The settings are correct and the device is not muted. What else can I do to get the sounds working again?

Four days ago the lock screen and keyboard sounds quit working, but was able to reset the settings. Two days ago I had to do this and turn off the device and then restart it to get the sounds back. Today they suddenly went out and I can't get them working again. The settings are correct and the device is not muted. My OS is up to date. What else can I do to get the sound back?

To my knowledge, no. If you are near an Apple store take the KB in for diagnosis.

My Keyboard and Mouse Quit Working and Computer Slow to Boot Up

Last week my iMac wireless keyboard and mouse quit working. (Batteries are OK). That same morning the computer started taking a very long time - several minutes - to boot up. I've been using a wired keyboard and mouse but I'd rather get back to the wireless ones. The other discussions I've read all refer to Bluetooth but I don't find that on my computer. Help!!   Thanks.

Hello cindycat,
Love the name ... so evocative
Go to Apple menu > Systems preferences > Internet & Wireless.   There you will find bluetooth.   Click on it and In the bottom right corner is a purple ?.   Click on that to learn about setting up bluetooth.
Incidentally, batteries are often not okay (though you may think otherwise).   The only batteries that are okay are top quality unused batteries.   And even then you should check the contact points inside the mouse in case there is corrosion.
Keep us advised.

My keyboard shortcuts have quit working - HELP!

All,
Can anyone tell me WHY my keyboard shortcuts—new window, close window—have quit working.
It's a pain in the tuckus to have to open a window with a menu.
It happened suddenly and would appreciate a fix if anyone has the same problem.
Thanks!

I change my Spotlight shortcut to Ctrl + Space and have no problems. I've never had a problem with use the Space Bar to get the Hand tool.
Try restoring your preferences first before you take the trouble to reinstall. Here's how:

External sound console quit working on aud

i have an audigy 2 zs platinum pro. the external console is model sb0290. one day (and i dont know exactly when) the console quit working. as if it gets no power. i used to be able to turn down the volume from it and one day just noticed it ceases to function. i m pretty sure the connection are fine. my right front speaker (from 7. set) quit working as well but i dont think it was at the same time. it kinda works now but is much quieter than the others. are these maybe related to a sound card going bad or something else entirely? any ideas?

Keyboard bottom row quit working

The bottom row of keys on my wireless kleyboard just quit working. All of the other keys work, except for z -/ and the space bar. Any suggestions or do I need to replace the keyboard?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hello Jeff:
I believe you have a hardware problem. You did not indicate the KB manufacturer - if it is Apple and in warranty, they will replace it for you.

Keyboard sound keys not working (F10, F11 & F12)

I just purchased a wired keyboard for my iMac and can't seem to get my volume control keys (F10, F11 and F12) working. I've unticked the "Use all F1, F2 etc" box within system preferences > keyboard, and still doesn't seem to work. Previously I was running the wireless bluetooth keyboard and had no issues. I'm sure it's something quite simple, but any suggestions would make my life much easier..

Notification sounds suddenly quit working...

Last night I was playing a game and turned the sound all the way down using the side volume keys. This morning, I noticed that none of my notifications are working. I still get the vibrate and my phone will ring but no notifications. I've checked all sound settings since and have done a soft reset with no luck.
Anyone experienced this or have a resolution?

I don't know what to advise you then. I don't personally use notification sounds, so I have them turned off. I check to see if a notification is pending, open the app and see what I need to see. In your case, it's more likely a compatibility issue with the App and iOS7, which will likely be addressed in an App update from the App developer.

Keyboard USB port quit working

My wife's G4 has my G5 keyboard attached. She recently unplugged a USB device and now one of the two USB ports on the keyboard doesn't function. Anyone know how to re-boot that port?

What kind of USB device did she unplug from the keyboard? Was it something self-powered or did it draw its power from the USB port?

Game lockscreen keyboard sounds quit working

Just posted about my lockscreen and keyboard sounds suddenly stop working and now I have lost all game sounds. The game sounds were working only a couple of hours ago and now nothing! What do I do now?!

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music 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 above the volume switch, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; 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

Keyboard clicks and lock sounds have quit

The keyboard clicks and the lock sound have quit working on my phone today. I have rebooted the phone and that didn't fix it. Has this happened to anyone else?

Do you have the ring/silent switch on? See the top left side of your phone. Is the red dot showing?

BB Pearl Flip - ring tones/sounds quit and shuts itself off

I'm having major problems with my phone since I got it.
I'm on my fthird phone since May 2!!! On exactly 8 days on the first phone the ringers/sound would quit and would say there was an error on the phone and wouldn't play the sample music. I brought it back to my dealership and they gave me a new phone. On day 8 again the same problem happened! My dealer suggested buying the extra memory chip and I put it in the phone...I did. The only thing I have downloaded on that phone was msn and facebook. It was also shutting its self off during day 8! 8 days later again the ring tones/sound wasn't working! I went back to my dealer and got a new phone. This time he said to only download facebook and not msn in case it was a memory problem. Now yesterday was day 8....and again the ringtones/sound doesn't work! I don't download anything...no music, videos not even any ringtones! Not hearing your phone ring is somewhat of an important feature to the phone!! Oh and when it's acting up the only way you can get it to stut off and reboot is to pull the battery!..and we all know how long it takes to reboot! you might as well come back in an hour!! Then it will reset and will be okay for a few days! ( or this has been my experience so far!!)
This is my first blackberry and honestly will probably be my last! I haven't been impressed! I want to see if anyone else was experiencing this type of problem. I have 30 days again until I can't exchange it and if I can't get this figured out it will be going back and I'll be getting something different!

I had a similar problem with my first 8230 that I rec'd in late April of this year. After only a few days the ringer stopped working and nothing I tried and nothing Bell support did either via the wireless network or at a local Bell Store was able to restore the notification profiles. I had the phone replaced (within 2 days via purolator after I returned the defective one and have since had no problems ... have changed the notification profiles several times in the interim. I'd try several things like making sure you have the most up-to-date software version, and current service books offered by your carrier, before chucking it with BB. For my part, I'm loving the Flip, but will probably be upgrading to a Curve or Storm at the first opportunity (next April!).
