Sound issues when playing games

The sound works perfectly fine on my laptop when on the internet and even plaing league of legend or some steam games but for some reason i have no sound on certain games such as sims 3 when i play them? i have the volume on and i know it SHOULD be working. Why is it doing this and how do i fix it?

  • Sound lag when playing games

    Hi,
    My Z1 compact has sound issues when playing games.
    There is a noticable sound lag of about a second (not much but is quite annoying), not only on newer games but also on the older ones, Angry Birds for example.  My recorded videos or YouTube don't appear to have the same issue.
    The problem seemed to occur after I had installed Worms 2: Armageddon when the phone got extremely hot and crashed. It was after the phone had reset and cooled down that I noticed the sound lag issue and Worms 2 was running at a very slow frame rate.
    I then installed Worms 2 on my ASUS TF201 and it runs perfectly with no sound or heating issues.
    I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue so i'm wondering if my phone is faulty.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • IPad sound issue when playing video from apps

    When I play a video from a link in Facebook or Twitter there is no sound but when I play the same link from YouTube it is fine.

    I have the opposite; I get sound on City TV but no sound on CBC TV nor CTV TV!

  • Sound problems when playing games

    I have just bought a new iPod touch. I've noticed that when listening to my headphones, when I play a game the sound goes very crackly. This goes for both the games sound but also whatever mp3 I happening to be listening to. If I exit the game, the sound returns to normal. It doesn't appear to be a problem in other programs (as far as I can tell).
    Can anyone shine a light on this?
    Cheers
    Ross

    Yea sorry, should have done that at the start.
    I only have 3 games but over 10 apps. I only have problems with these:
    – PapiJump
    – PapiRiver
    – CannonGame
    It's not just when I'm using the headphone jack either. Even if I use the external speaker, I can be in the game menu and the sound is ok, as soon as it starts playing it goes crackly. This is both when I am playing a song or when I am just listening to the game sounds.

  • Letter keys are not working on MacBook Air when playing games?

    Hello. I'm using 10.6.6 on my MacBook Air 2.1 (2009 model).
    I've got a really strange issue when playing games (any game produces this issue). ONLY the letter keys aren't working. The rest is working - numbers, function keys, arrows, tab, enter, delete, etc. Only the keys A to Z are not working.
    This happens both on native games (like Hedgewars from App Store) and ported ones (like Need for speed).
    What's the issue?
    Thank you!

    Bump.

  • Iphone 4 when playing game no sound

    hi guys:
    my iphone 4 when playing game no sound but the ringstone is ok no problem,so i try to reset my phone but the problem still there~is that my hardware problem?

    Hello Zijie92,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone.  Have you checked to see if the Side Switch is enabled?  This could be muting the audio:
    In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.
    iPhone User Guide - Ring/Silent switch
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01398
    If you are experiencing this issue with just one specific application, I recommend the steps in the following article:

  • When playing games on the ipad I have no sound and it it very slow.

    when playing games downloaded from the app store I have no sound and the games arte very slow?

    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.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. 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.

    iPad running slow? How to speed up a slow iPad

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Powermac crashes when playing games

    Hi. I've got a problem with my Powermac G4 (Dual 450MHz).
    Everytime I play a game (Quake 3 or Redline for example) the mac crashes sooner or later and I need to reboot. I've checked RAM, fixed HD permissions, fixed the HDs and cleared all cache. The mac has a stock ATI Rage128 Pro and 640 MB RAM. My mac crashes only when playing games, never when in "normal use".

    Hi
    It may be worth just checking the ventilation holes in the case aren't clogged with dust etc and the case fan is still spinning okay. If games are the only time you 'stress' the processors (e.g. you don't also use it for DVD encoding etc), perhaps it's a heat issue. You could try temporarily using it with the case open to see whether it makes any difference, which would also allow you to check the fan(s). It seems unlikely but it may be worth a shot.

  • Humming noise when playing games

    Hello,
    I'm hoping someone can help me solve a buzzing noise I'm getting when playing games.
    I have a x-fi fatalty, gtx 480 in SLI and a x58a-ud3r motherboard and for the most part the x-fi works fine, however when I play 3d games I get a very irritating buzzing sound coming from the speakers while playing.
    Things I've tried...
    Switching off SLI / only having one graphics card installed - no difference
    Wrapping the x-fi in electrical tape to stop interference - no difference
    Switching the pcie slot - no difference
    Latest BIOS - no difference
    Trying x-fi different drivers - no difference
    Using on board audio - no buzzing at all
    Switching off 3d audio and crystallizer- reduces buzzing significantly but?still?there!
    I'm out of ideas now... anyone else had this problem?
    T_L_T

    Well, I got Windows 7, I cleaned the inside which was quite dusty. I launched Left 4 Dead, had a minute of calm, then the sound of my fan started to increase slowly to the point when it sounds a bit like when you turn a Mac Pro on. It seems slightly better though. Probably by doing a full cleaning of the inside I could make it a bit less noisy.

  • Choosing gpu when playing games

    Hi,
    I own a hp g6-2305sl running win 8.1, it's not a bad laptop, the only thing I can't control is the gpu when playing games.
    I have AMD catalyst 14.9 and HD Intel driver 153330, but when I go to device manager there is only AMD HD 7600M series and not AMD HD 7670M. And also even if I select maximize performance and set the high performance gpu for games, game is slow has hell, like using the Intel gpu.

  • (bootcamp) graphics card crash when playing games

    Firstly apologies if I've put this in the wrong section of the forum... this is the most applicable I could find.
    Having tried to enquire at the good folks of AMD, they told me I needed to see apple. Finding a support email is nigh on impossile - so either that or advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
    I have a boot camp partition on a mid 2011 macbook pro - my graphics card is Radeon HD 6750M.
    I have recently been experiencing graphics card crashes when playing games.
    There is no boot camp update available, so I am forced to update the driver manually. Trying to use the automated detection/installation tool on the ATI site resulted in the error "your computer doesn't have a proper graphics adapter"
    When I located and downloaded the mac bootcamp drivers from the ATI site site, and I tried to install these it was unable to detect my existing microsoft C++ distributable or install its own - so the installation failed.
    All advice welcome!

    yeah - it *might* have fixed my issue - or at least it hasn't crashed yet... jynxed it now ofcourse ;p I have acouple of questions though...
    Why did this just start happening - I've played other games and this game before without these crashing issues?
    I'm worried about configuring this fan thing correctly - lots of 'if your hardware gets damages it's not my problem' warnings on the software site. I know there's only 4 options - how do I ensure I select the right one? ie I thought I had a unibody macbook pro but it can't find the second GPU?
