Sound effects no longer play in Rosetta emulation games

While sorting out the data transferred from my recently deceased Powerbook G4 17", I accidently started up Audacity 1.2.3 which is a Power PC only version. It only partially loaded with its icon in the Dock but nothing else. I had to force quit the program to get rid of it and then deleted it. When my teenage son went to play his suite of PPC games such as Age of Empires 2 and StarWars after that, the game sound effects no longer worked. The background music still plays, but all the player responsive sound effects will not play, even though the settings to play them are correct.
I am wondering if the opening up and crashing of the Power PC Audacity may have stuffed up something in the Rosetta emulation system software relating to the sound output of emulated games. Before I consider doing a full backup and reinstall, does anyone who is a regular gamer playing PPC games on a Macbook Pro have any ideas on how to fix this problem. I was wondering if the Rosetta component of OSX can be replaced from a working system or if it is totally integrated into the Mac OS unlike Classic was.
All advice appreciated!

+I tried to set "Problem solved" but got an error so will try again later.+
Thanks for trying and glad it fixed the problem

Ringtones, text ringtones, sound effects no longer play.

My 16gb Iphone 3GS will no longer play a ringtone if someone is calling, will no longer play the text-message sound effect and also no-longer make the sound effect if I lock the screen.
The volume is as high as it will go and the ringtone is selected under settings. Vibrate is on. What could be the problem?

It'll actually play the ringtone in with the headphones in, but otherwise, you can not hear it. The phone isn't in headphone mode without the headphones in, the Ipod and ringtone previews sound fine and clear out of the speaker.
It just doesn't play the text or call ringtone any more.

Sound Effects No Longer

I noticed the other day that the sound effects that play while using the remote no longer do so. I checked the settings to be sure it is turned on. I even turned it off and back on. No sound effects. I guess it's not that big a deal, but I would like to have them back.
Thanks

try a reboot of the device. if that doesn't work then do a factory reset.

I can't no longer play any of my games i.e. Sins, Caesar IV, etc.

All of the sudden I can't play any of my games, EA or any other games. I get the following mssg. "Could not write license data, please contact customer support for further instructions". EA games can't help me. I have not made any changes on my computer as I'm technology challanged. I called my anti-virus people, I was told that my computer is "clean". Can anyone tell me what's can be wrong? please use easy instructions, lol, thanks. Also I've not been able to change my wallpaper.

No sound effects playing through any output device

Hi all. I have a frustrating issue with my late 2012 Mac Mini that started a couple of days ago. Maybe it is related to a system update (I think a OS and iTunes update was available last week) but I am not sure. Have checked that all preferences are correct (sound output, midi) and basically I have not personally altered any preferences whatsoever since I replaced my old HT receiver before Christmas.
The issues. I have no sound effects at all playing either through HDMI (cable to Pioneer SC-LX56) or internal. No trash can, no start up, no nothing. I have no sound when playing Spotify or iTunes. I get sound in Plex HT but the navigation sounds are gone. Normal playback of any movie or music works as before.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Roger

Hi den.thed and thanks for your reply. Yes, all these are checked and togglig the various output devices I have makes no difference. As I said everything worked flawlessly up until a couple of days ago and no changes apart from Apple SW updates (OS and iTunes). My Plex Home Theater (the only working sound output means at this point, even though navigation sound in Plex HT has also stopped working) and Media Server apps are unchaged as well. All other HDMI inputs on my HT work.
Further information. The volume icon in the menu bar is greyed out btw. I can toggle and see what output device is used but not change volume by sliding the bar. I am unable to change the alert or output volume as in your snapshot unless I chose internal speakers but this has no effect as there is no sound. I have looked into midi and it looks fine but I do not get speaker tones to test my speakers (I have not fiddled around in there before so what is there has been since i took the Mac mini into use). I have stopped the coreaudio process and rebooted but no difference. The only thing I have not done is PRAM reset as far as browsing the Apple support community has taught me so far.
I really appreciate all support here.
Thanks,
Roger

Can't add songs or sound effects

Until a few days ago, I was able to drag and drop tracks I'd purchased on iTunes into my iMovie projects. Now, even royalty-free music tracks are not playable once I import them into iMovie.
What has happened? These videos are for my own personal use, and I do not sell them to anyone. How may I use the tracks in good faith that I've purchased?
Thank you so much.

UPDATE: Now it appears that I *can* add music and sound effects as long as there is no overlap. This is different. How can I *layer* audio tracks on top of one another in iMovie the way I used to be able to do?
I can't imagine Apple would have changed this critical component of editing overnight for no good reason. What say you?

Can Reliably Lose Sound Effects On 10.4.5

I found a way to reliably lose sound effects on Mac OS X 10.4.5. I will report this to Apple using Mac OS X feedback.
1) Enable Fast User Switching.
2) Login as user1 and note that sound effects work.
3) Without logging out as user1, login as user2 and note that sound effects work.
4) Without logging out as user2, go back to user1 and note that sound effects still work. Then logout from user1.
5) Go back to user2 and note that sound effects no longer work.
6) Reboot system to restore sound effects.

Hi, Richard.
One question: are you using USB speakers? Have you tested this using only the internal speakers on your iMac?
Good luck!

Sound Effects Driving Me Crazy

I went to user preferences -> sounds -> and unchecked "play user sound effects" and unchecked "play front row sound effects".
Yet the sound effects for opening new web pages, clicking on the menu bar, etc keep happening.
They are driving me crazy. How do I make them stop?
- Terribly Vexed.

There may be two things to try. 1: update Mac OS X to v. 10.5.4. this may help. The second option is to simply mute the volume. Hope it works!

How can I make cuable sound effects on seperate tracks for use in the theatre

I need to make cueable music and sound effects for a play I am producing. I wonder if I can do this with FCE. The effects need to be on separate tracks on a CD so that the guy running the show can skip to the next track and push play. Help!

Wouldn't iTunes be more appropriate for this? There doesn't seem to be any video involved.

Mac powerpoint 2011. Can't I edit sound effects

Mac powerpoint 2011. Can't I edit sound effects? The slides won't move as I have ordered them because the sound effect lasts longer. Previously (in Office) I have been able to trim the size. This throws off the entire presentation. Any ideas?

If you're still looking for the iLife Sound Effects, they've been moved. In fact, they're downright impossible to find unless you know where they've been hidden.
They're now stored inside the iMovie app itself. To access the files, go to the Applications folder and right-click on the iMovie app icon. Select "Show Package Contents", twirl open "Resources" and scroll down. You should find sound files in three folders: iLife Sound Effects, iMovie Sound Effects, and iMovie Theme Music. I recommend that you NOT move any files out of these folders, but simply copy them to a new location.
Hope this finds you well.
Cheers!

In Garage Band on iPAD, is there a way to make each key on the keyboard play a different sound effect?

I'd like to be able to play a number of selected sound effects using the keyboard in Garage Band. I've figured out how to import audio tracks from my itunes library into a track in Tracks View.
Thanks if anyone has experience with this......

GarageBand on iPad does not have the SoundEffects instruments, that GarageBand on Mac has.
The closest you can get to this on your iPad will be the "Sampler" instrument. You can record a sound sample and play it using the "Sampler" instrument and adjust the pitch.
But you cannot assigne different samples to different keys.
See: Play sounds with the Sampler

So my I phone 4s volume has decided to pack allowing only my phone to make sounds when I have an incoming call, I can also here fine using facetime and receiving calls. YouTube, soundcloud, any of I players will no longer play sound. I've restored the phone using iTunes on my laptop and checked all the volumes are turned up and the button at the left hand Side of the phone is in the correct position.

Try inserting and re-inserting your headphones 7 or 8 times. Also try cleaning out the headphone jack in case of debris that might be interfering with the connection/disconnection.
