Iphone 4 sound is not working in apps

My iphone 4 sound is only working in my music app and my videos and my ringtone but not on any apps such as snapchat,facebook,youtube,instagram, and more. what should i do?

Standard user troubleshooting as outlined in the manual are restart, reset, restore, restore as new. Start with a simple power off, and back on. Any change?

TS3274 Sound is not working

Sound is not working in apps or keyboard clicks even though they are on in settings.

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod 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, 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

My Pokerist app sound does not work, only with headphones....can anyone help me? Thank you

My Pokerist app sound does not work. It will only work if I have head phones on. All other sound works, songs, video etc. I deleted the app, then installed again still no sound. It is not the app because I also have a IPhone and the sound works on Pokerist. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
Thank you

Check out this link - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085. There have been instances where settings have accidentally changed. Double click on the Home button, swipe all the way to the right to reveal the leftmost icon and alternate settings if necessary.

Sound not working for apps

The sound is not working for game apps, and possibly other apps. Sound effects work. Side switch is not on mute. Nothing, I repeat NOTHING, is muted. YouTube videos work. System sounds work. Games that are supposed to have sounds no longer have sounds.
I also cannot update the iOS system. It says that there is no internet connection but the internet works fine for everything else. I am posting this from the device. Resetting and restarting have not worked. Also, the keyboard seems to be having minor problems as well, such as capitalizing, autocorrect, etc, which used to work but now doesn't.
I have not used the iPad in over a year because of forgotten passcode, and now it has a bajillion problems!
btw, how do I change the Apple ID username and email information?

You said that you "reset" and that means different things to different people so we could use some clarification on that.
For now, I would start with this. If you have already done this, please remember that is where the clarification is so important. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. The iPad will start up on its own when you do this. No data is lost. It all settings have to be entered again.
IF you changed your Apple ID, go to settings>ITunes & App Store>Apple ID. Sign out in there and sign in with the new ID. This is worthwhile reading and should help.

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!

My sound is not work at any app my ipad 3 gen

aim tried to listen music my sound is not work yesterday was fine i don't get what is the problem
i need help thanks

Try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430 It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Sound is not working for Siri, voice mail, ringer tones, movies or music. I was told by verizon that the speaker maybe out, but that i might want to try and reload or update my itunes by plgging into my home computer... will this help and if so how do I do this?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Sound blaster not working correctly?

Sound blaster not working correctly #I have a 64 bit, windows vista system.
A Logitech Z-5500 Digital speaker system (one woofer, center speaker, left, right, rear right, left rear speakers, and a seperate control head).
I have an X-fi gamer sound card.
I recently formatted my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Trying to make everything happy again. Here is my problem:
When I use the Creative Console Launcher (CCL), my front right speaker tests fine. My front left speaker comes out of the woofer. And no other speakers will test at all. It does this in all modes (2., 4., 5. and 7.).
When I play some music, it is coming out of all of the speakers. But it won't test properly in the CCL. So, do I have an issue, does what the CCL is doing not matter, or something else In some games, hearing what direction stuff is coming from matters, so if it is sending sounds to the wrong speakers, then I need to figure out a fix.....hence my post.
Thanks for any help you can give, Robert

Well, as the official documatation states, the Archlinux is for more or less advanced users, and if you're not one, we will make you one
First of all, if you compiled your sound as modules, try putting this in your rc.local:
stat_busy "Activating Sound"
/sbin/modprobe your_sound_module
/sbin/modprobe other_sound_module
/sbin/modprobe yet_other_sound_module
stat_done
Change your_sound_module stuff to your module names as you configured in the kernel, of course.
Second: in order to have two or more sound apps working at the same time, you need some kind of sound server. For default one (esd), uncomment esd in /etc/rc.local (remove ! before it) . After that, you'll have to configure your sound apps to use esd. I know that this is extremely easy with xmms and xine, dunno about others. I do not use esd, because my favorite games (quake3 and half-life) require direct access to /dev/dsp.
And remember: nobody blames for asking 8)

Sound & iCal not working + other questions

Hi, I'm a new mac user and at the moment I have many, many questions...
1) My sound is not working! I remember it working well last night but when I woke it from its sleep today, it doesn't make a sound anymore, and the F4 & F5 that you can use to adjust the sound don't respond either o_O There's nothing plugged in, when I check the sound panel in system preference, it is set to the maximum, and the mute box is unchecked...however they are both greyed.
2) My iCal was initially working as well. However when I updated (5 minutes ago), it stopped responding. When I click on the application icon, it jumps in my dock but it doesn't open...
3) I also tried to install this application named Atomix Dojam X. I had an older version of it, but I deleted it and wanted to install v.X because the older version ran on Mac OS X 9. However, when I downloaded it to my desktop and ran the setup guide, I cannot change the destination (the default destination is Macintosh HD), and even though it says "installation successful" in the end, it does not appear in my application folder nor anywhere else...
4) I was also wondering...when I updated my real player and msn, I think they were kind of "updated on the spot"...okay that didn't make sense. What I meant was they weren't updated in the application folder. So when I delete the icons on my desktop, the applications stop working as well. Is there a way for me to move those applications to the application folder? I tried, but it denied my attempt because "application cannot be modified"...
5) My computer has a memory of 640 MB, the processor is 867 MHz. But I'm getting a bit frustrated with the current operating system because everything that Apple offers now requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above. I was wondering if my computer run Panther/Tiger and be as fast as it can operate now?
Sorry, this was a really long post. I will be extremely grateful to anyone who is willing help. Thanks in advance!

Hi yukinu,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussion Forums!

What is selected in System Preferences>Sound for your Output? Is it showing "Internal Speakers" and is it selected/highlighted?
2) My iCal was initially working as well. However when I updated (5 minutes ago), it stopped responding. When I click on the application icon, it jumps in my dock but it doesn't open...
How did you update? Through Software Updater or through Apple Downloads website?
3) I also tried to install this application named Atomix Dojam X. I had an older version of it, but I deleted it and wanted to install v.X because the older version ran on Mac OS X 9. However, when I downloaded it to my desktop and ran the setup guide, I cannot change the destination (the default destination is Macintosh HD), and even though it says "installation successful" in the end, it does not appear in my application folder nor anywhere else...
Sorry, I don't use the software myself, but have you tried going to their website>support and see if they have any install troubleshooting tips?
4) I was also wondering...when I updated my real player and msn, I think they were kind of "updated on the spot"...okay that didn't make sense. What I meant was they weren't updated in the application folder. So when I delete the icons on my desktop, the applications stop working as well. Is there a way for me to move those applications to the application folder? I tried, but it denied my attempt because "application cannot be modified"...
I would suggest going to their website, again, and finding the install instructions and follow them for your version of OSX. Not sure what you mean by the "icons on my desktop" that you deleted but I assume you are referring to the downloaded "install" files? How did you know that they weren't "updated" in your applications folder? Did you do a Get Info on the icons for the apps in your Applications folder to check the version after updating?
5) My computer has a memory of 640 MB, the processor is 867 MHz. But I'm getting a bit frustrated with the current operating system because everything that Apple offers now requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above. I was wondering if my computer run Panther/Tiger and be as fast as it can operate now?
Your PowerBook G4 867 Mhz 640 MB ram installed is more than adequate to run either Panther or Tiger. But, I would try making sure your Disk is ok first before attempting to upgrade the OS since you appear to be having some problems. They are probably not related to disk corruption but you should boot to your install cd and Repair Disk using Disk Utility on the install cd first to make sure.
I would try running both, Permissions Repair from your HD and then booting to your install disk and running Repair Disk anyways to see what errors if any you receive. There will undoubtedly be spurious errors running Repair Permissions but if any that cannot be repaired you should note them along with the errors that cannot be repaired with Disk Utility>Repair Disk from your install cd. You should always run Repair Permissions from your Disk Utility on your HD before and after any software installations to have a smoother/successful update/upgrade.

Sound control not working on my blue tooth keyboard

sound control not working with my bluetooth keyboard

UAVPilot,
Thank you for the information. I do show that the device and car are capable of this function. I do not show any reason you should not be hearing the notifications. One thing you will want to check is that the sound for both your notifications and media are turned up. Also you can look into going into Settings>Apps>S voice Drive Mode> Clear Cache. This should clear any possible bugs in the application. Please keep us updated on this and we can check on other options.
Thank you,

HT4623 since installing update my volume & sound are not working correctly

since installing the update 7.0.6 this morning, my volume and sound are not working in music, videos, keypad, and apps

You can't update to iOS 6 on the original iPad, but you might be able to troubleshoot the apps on your iPad. What is not working correctly?

My iPhone's sound does not work except for the alarm and the volume bar is not there.

Hi, thank you in advance if you can help.
When my iphone 4 is not plugged in to headphones the sound does not work, and if I try to adjust the sound with the plus and minus buttons in the side it comes up like normal saying "Ringer" but then there is no bar underneath it. Sometimes the sound will work for a couple of minutes. However, there is definitely no problem with the speaker as the alarm always works perfectly fine.
I have tried restoring it, this did not help.

what you could even try is to write down a few contacts that you would need to get through a single day, restore it to factory, punch in those few odd contacts,
No. What he should be doing is syncing his contacts to an app on his computer or cloud service, then sync them back to the phone (without restoring the backup).
Never rely on the backup for contacts. The contact info stored there may be incomplete and is only meant to maintain the recent calls and favorites lists.

TS5180 The sound is not working on my Iphone5, what do I do?

Sound is not working on Iphone. Have gone to settings and checked to besure sound is on, etc.

They are giving superficial solution in that post. I think the problem could be software (developers should look into it). I have this problem too, the speaker works with voice memo and ringtone but not with the notifications and apps. Apple is not taking care of this issue and they should resolve it as soon as possible.

Sound is not working in apps.
