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 Not Working for ENVY dv6 after recent updates

Not sure if it was the most recent updates that did it or if it was just random, but...my sound has stopped working. OCCASIONALLY right after I restart, I can get the sound to work for a few minutes, but that's about it. (I'm running Windows 8.1, by the way.)
I've tried the troubleshooter and it claims there's no issue. Sound card is there and working as far as I can tell; it's all enabled. I'm not muted or anything quite that trivial. I would try uninstalling an update, but I'm not sure that would even help. Prior to the update, my sound had started becoming distorted at time and a little crackly. Nothing too drastic or often, so I wasn't too bothered. Obviously, I am bothered by a complete lack of sound.
I have no idea whether or not headphones work still. I haven't been able to get the speakers working long enough to try them. "Fixit" claims it won't work with my computer, so I can't try that alternate troublershooter.
I've read every message board imaginable and updated and re-updated all my drivers. Not the issue. I have no idea what's wrong and no idea how to fix it, but it needs to be fixed.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello @samajama,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I have read your post on how the sound coming from your notebook's speakers is not working, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To restore the sound to your notebook's system, I recommend following this document on No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8). This should help to address a specific Microsoft update that has caused sound output issues.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Sound not working on apps

I have an iPad2 and the sound on some of my apps is not working. The app works, but with no sound. My videos, music and a few read aloud apps are working. I have adjusted the sound volume, went into each app to make sure the sound is turned on, did a reset (held down off button). Has anyone else had this problem? Help!! Thanks!

ok, nevermind, I found the problem! Keep looking and reading and you'll find the answer! Thanks for all of the helpful posts and replies Apple users!

Speaker not working for Apps, Music, Games, and Notifications.

I have an Apple iPod Touch 4G. The speaker all of a sudden stopped working to play music aloud.And notfications come up and the sound or "ringtone" doesn't play. For Games the sound doesn't work either. My textnow app for free unlimited textmessaging and calling the sound or ringtone won't play either. This all happens when the volume is all the way UP!
You know whats really weird?
~When I go to settings and Sounds I make the volume go down by scrolling it, then I bring it back up. and it does the little example of how the ringtone will sound.. IT WORKS! and you can hear the sound prefectly...
This is getting to be really frustrating could this be a hardware issue?
Notifications, music, apps, and game sounds all work perfectly but only when I plug in my earphones.
where's the volume bar??
PLEASE HELP!!!!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Sound not working for dv6700 PLEASE HELP!!!!

I'm having sound problems on my hp dv6700. The sound was working last night and this morning, now when I went on it all of a sudden the sound stopped working. When I plug in a set of headphones it works but the speakers don't work. If someone could please help me out, I rather not have to take it to Best Buy and pay to have them fix it.

I am experiencing the same problem, same laptop. I did try reinstalling the Conexant Audio driver but it gave me a failure message "Could Not Find Media Device for the Drive" so looking forward to suggestions.

Sound not working for USB Headset [Solved]

I've looked everywhere I can to find a solution for this as I'd hate to waste anyone's time. I've done everythign the wiki has said and even tried some stuff on other webpages (like including a "!" in front of pcspkr in the Modules part of /etc/rc.conf). This is currently a fresh install with only an updated pacman, password hashes, GNOME, and couple other minor changes. As far this install goes I've added -- options snd-pcsp index=2 -- to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and installed alsa-utils. I didn't install alsa-oss this time becuase I thought I read somewhere that OSS and ALSA don't mix that well. I did install it my first time, but it didn't make any difference.

I reformatted to get sound to work on the normal headset again. I went to those two sites you suggested, but I'm having a couple issues.
First I can't find any 'module' related item in /etc that has to do with alsa:
# find /etc -name '*module*'
/etc/syslog-ng/modules.conf
/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules-32
/etc/pango/pango.modules
/etc/pango/pango.modules-32
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/40-libcanberra-gtk-module
This was also the only alsa.conf file I found and all it is is source code and didn't look like what the site was talking about so I didn't want to alter it.
# find / -name '*alsa.conf*'
/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
As far as my /etc/modprobe.d:
# ls -a /etc/modprobe.d
. framebuffer_blacklist.conf nouveau_blacklist.conf
.. modprobe.conf usb-load-ehci-first.conf
and all /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf is is this:
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
and I don't have a /etc/init.d directory:
# /etc/init.d
bash: /etc/init.d: No such file or directory
I did manage to find a /proc/asound directory though that looks like it might be related to my problem.
# find / -name '*asound*'
/proc/asound
/var/lib/pacman/sync/extra/ecasound-2.7.2-1

I tried to change the order so that the creative headset was "0" and the hda "2" via nano, but after confirming the changes and viewing the file again it always reverted back to this.
I'd like to say that I'd like to write a udev rule to change the default card when I plug/unplug the headset, but I'm not sure how to do that and would like to fix it manually before I create an automatic method so that I know what I'm doing.
**PulseAudio isn't installed atm. It seemed like even though it provided a temporary fix it didn't actually correct the problem. I hope the problems I've stated here aren't related to not having it installed.

Icloud sync is not working for apps

I just noticed that my icloud sync is no longer working. Apps like 1Password, Drafts, Reminder, Calendars, Fantastical used to sync between my IPAD Air and iphone 6 but they are not syncing now.
What are some of the possible issues and can anyone suggest remedy?
Thanks in advance!

Managed to solve the issues by turning off icloud drive. Re-started iphone. After iphone turned on, turn on icloud drive again. All the apps started to sync again.

HT1311 Changed my apple ID for iTunes, but did not work for app updates.

I followed the directions on my phone and successfully changed my apple ID for iTunes. But when I to update apps, the old ID still shows. How can I change my Apple ID so I can update my existing apps?

Correct! The apps I had previously were downloaded using my husband's apple ID. We are now separated, and I would like to download updates under my OWN apple ID. I followed the instructions for changing my AppleID on my phone, and it works with iTunes downloads. Yet the old AppleID continues to show up for App updates/downloads. Can I change the apple ID for App updates? Or must I delete all the apps on my phone that were downloaded under HIS apple ID and then redownload them under my own ID?

Home sharing not working for 'apps'

I have 3 PC's (all running Win XP) that are successfully sharing movies, music and TV shows. When I try to copy apps from one PC to another I get 'the file cannot be copies because this computer is not authorized'.
Why would 'apps' not work but everything else does? Thank you.

Probably you have the authorize the PC seperate frome the home sharing via Store > Authorize this computer...
I think these are two different kind of authorizations.

Sound not working for non-apple Programs/plugins

I can't seem to get any sound out of flash based websites, excel (when saving for example), or several other apps.
Quake 3, and itunes still work perfectly fine.
Also, since this happened, quicktime video playback is very choppy (stopping for up to 10 seconds at a time).
This happened after installing Flip4Mac, but I've uninstalled it and nothing has changed. I can't watch youtube at all. I've turned the volume settings for the system and for the actual youtube player all the way up and down and I've seen no change.
I can view the video (and websites) but I get no sound. The same thing occurs on other user accounts on this machine as well. Very strange.
The ads on Apple.com work fine with sound and smooth playback, but MPG videos on my computer don't seem to have sound and play very choppy. The Startcraft 2 gameplay demo plays fine (AVI) and WMV's work, but MPG's and flash sites don't have sound.
