Sound effects icon will not go away

Sound effect icon will not go away. It is in the middle of the screen. Tried changing the sound setting no luck.

I also am having issues with the "sound effects icon" on my iPad.  I took it to an Apple store and was told there was a dent in the side by the sound button.  Is this a common problem?  Haven't dropped the iPad so don't know what has caused this.  Apple said $269 to repair.  Got the iPad at Christmas as a gift.

  • No sound unless headphones attached and headphones icon will not go away.

    I have a really weird problem with my Rezound.  After a month of stellar performance, all of a sudden the headphone notification icon will not turn off but the headphones are not attached.  As a result, the phone appears to think that the headphones are still plugged in (when they are not) so I get no sound unless I use speakerphone. 
    The weirdest part of this issue is that when I do plug headphones into the phone, it tries to call someone.  Anyone know how to fix this?

        Hello RandywinWV!
    We definitely don't want your phone to think it has a ghost headset plugged in! I will be more than happy to provide some suggestions!
    Try leaving your headset plugged in and pull the battery out while the headset is in and the phone is off. Remove the headset and put everything back together.
    Check if there's anything in the headset jack, such as debris. You can use canned air to clean the ports of your device, similar to a computer.  Please just be careful.
    Try putting your phone in safe mode to see if it's an application causing the problem. You can follow these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=48353

  • The audio icon will not go away'

    The volume control icon shows up in the middle of my screen for no reason and will not go away. Any ideas?

    Did you try....?
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • Mail Account directory Will NOT go away!

    A long time ago I set up an account for my friend to use on my web server and on my local computer (osx mail app). It's long since been deleted from Mail>preferences and on the server side.
    But, in the directory, users:(user-x):Library:Mail:V2:
    The old account keeps generating a directory that looks like this [email protected] (the mail server IP).
    This will populate with the default mailboxes like in-box, junk, trash, etc.
    you can trash it and it comes back as soon as the mail app checks for mail.
    How can this be if it is a deleted account on the local computer and the user has been deleted from the server side?
    And how can you make this go away?

    Turn your phone off...then call your mobile phone number from another phone and leave a message. Turn the phone on and then go to your voicemail and listen to the message. Listen and then delete it; then press the appropriate key to disconnect from voicemail, don't just hang up. That should clear the "voicemail" icon, if not, turn the phone off and then back on.

  • New mail badge will not go away!

    I've tried every solution I could find on the forums here, but the unread icon will not go away...and the mailbox is empty! It's making me a little crazy, so any help would be appreciated. I don't believe that I have the option of uninstalling/reinstalling the mailbox because it is from work and no longer an active account, but I need to retain the messages.
    Screenshot attached.

    With the defective mailbox highlighted (as you have in the screenshot), do a Mailbox > Rebuild from Mail's menu.

  • The sound effects icon is staying on the screen. How do I get this to go away

    The sound effects icon is staying on my ipad. How do I get this to go away?
    Thanks for the help.
    Have A blessed and Wonderful Day!!!!!!!

    If the sound icon is stuck on the screen, then the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side of the pad.   Do you have a case or something that might be touching that rocker?  
    Some have reported that they have put a small dent in the pad body that presses the switch.  If so, you need to somehow indent it.
    Try a reboot.  Press and hold both the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider.

    I have the sound effects icon in the middle of my screen and I want it to go away! How do I get rid of  it?

  • I have a arrow right next to my power bar it will not go away on my iPhone 4s

    There is a arrow on the top of my phone and it will not go away what does it mean

    Hello,
    This arrow next to your Battery symbol at the top of your phone means you are playing some sort of music or sound.
    To make sure you are not do the following:
    Press your Home button twice quicky
    You should now have a list of open apps. Hold down the App and press the red button. This does not delete the app but it closes it.
    Once these steps are complete if the arrow is gone, you are all set!
    Regards,
    Jake

  • Having problem deleting all but one particular mail from the iPhone 4S mail inbox. I can delete mail either by the trash can or using edit, selecting the mail message and deleting.  However there is this one mail message that will not go away. Any ideas?

    I am having a problem deleting all but one particular mail message from my inbox. I delete by either using the trash can icon for individual mail, or using edit, selecting the mail message (s) and clicking delete.  However there is this one mail message that will not go away regardles of what I do including deleting all from the trash.  Any ideas?

    I get that every once in a while on my 3GS, and that's what I do to get rid of it. Probably not a bad idea to power down the phone every so often, anyway, gets rid of any crud waiting to cause a bug.
    Glad to hear that it worked for you.
