Sound plays only on certain functions
I can play music on my iPad (either through files saved on iPad or streaming through Pandora) but I cannot hear someone when using Skype. Also the sound from one of my games has "disappeared".
I've checked the sound settings and volume buttons just in case. Things worked fine a week ago.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Headphones usage on Satellite A660-BT2G22 -sound plays out of the speakers
When I plug headphones into my Satellite A660-BT2G22 Laptop the sound plays out of the speakers and the headphones.
There has to be a way for me to make the sound play only through the headphones and I would really love that because I am going off to college soon and will have a roommate and I will want to listen to my own music and stuff and not force him to hear my stuff all the time.
Please help?This notebook model is not known to me but check control panel and option for some audio manager there. On notebooks with Realtek sound card there is Realtek HD Audio manager.
Check all options there, especially small folder symbol placed at the right top side. When you click on it connector settings window will be open. Enable auto popup dialog.
Now, every time when headphones will be connected you can choose headphone as only device you want to use.

How can I stop a sound from looping so it plays only once each time the up key is pressed?
Hi there here is my code, the basis is it is playing a mp3 from my library.
Basically as the topic suggests I only want the sound to play once each time the UP arrow key is pressed. At the moment when you hold the up arrow down the sound keeps triggering and looping and gets really loud and noisy.
Here is my code for my game:
package com.chasegame.components
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.display.Stage;
import flash.events.Event;
import com.tech.utils.KeyObject;
import flash.ui.Keyboard;
import flash.media.Sound;
import flash.media.SoundChannel;
public class SpaceShip extends MovieClip
private var key:KeyObject;
private var speed:Number = 0.3;
private var rotateSpeed:Number = 5;
private var vx:Number = 0;
private var vy:Number = 0;
private var friction:Number = 0.95;
private var shipSound:roar = new roar();
private var shipSoundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
public function SpaceShip () : void
key = new KeyObject(stage);
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop, false, 0, true);
public function loop(e:Event) : void
if (key.isDown(Keyboard.UP))
vy += Math.sin(degreesToRadians(rotation)) * speed;
vx += Math.cos(degreesToRadians(rotation)) * speed;
shipSoundChannel = shipSound.play();
else
vy *= friction;
vx *= friction;
if (key.isDown(Keyboard.RIGHT))
rotation += rotateSpeed;
else if (key.isDown(Keyboard.LEFT))
rotation -= rotateSpeed;
y += vy;
x += vx;
if (x > stage.stageWidth)
x = 0;
else if (x < 0)
x = stage.stageWidth;
if (y > stage.stageHeight)
y = 0;
else if (y < 0)
y = stage.stageHeight;
public function degreesToRadians(degrees:Number) : Number
return degrees * Math.PI / 180;If you want the sound to only play once when the key is pressed then you don't want to have it in the ENTER_FRAME event handler like you have it. It is starting new sounds at the frame rate of your file the way you have it now.
Try having an event listener dedicated to a KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event where you detect when the UP key gets pressed and use that to trigger playing the sound. -

recently updated to the latest version of Itunes (11.1) and when i try to play music or tv shows, the sound lasts only for a second before going completely mute, anyone know how to fix this?
Check this thread out -> iTunes 10.4 & Multimedia Keyboard
It doesn't look like there is a fix yet, but some people in the thread are pointing to this workaround:

Following some suggestion i seem to have found a solution for the problem and my play/pause, next and previous buttons work with iTunes 10.4.1
- You need to open a text editor (like notepad) as an administrator.
- Open the SetPoint players.ini file (C:\Program Files\Logitech\SetPointP\players.ini)
- Edit the line under the [Players] section to match the line bellow (bold is the wndClass which is to be changed)
iTunes=wac,iTunes.exe,ITWindow,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,0,1,iTunes
- Save the file
- Restart the SetPoint and hopefully play/pause, next and previous buttons should work (at least they work for me) -
CNN video clip news play only sound but no video
I downloaded the latest windows player and also Quick time Flip for windows. None seems to work. Only the sound of the streaming video came through but no picture. What's wrong with my Safari? Anybody got some input what I did went wrong. Apple computer is not very good with playing most web movies.
I have a MacBook with Quick Time 7.1.1 and I'm having the same trouble with .avi files; the sound plays, but no video just white screen. Also, when I try to use QT a screen comes that says I need some QT components and directs me to the QT website. I have tried to download some of the components and still no luck.
Is there anyone having this same problem, and if so does anyone know how to fix it.

In Flash the sound does not play only started from the beginning. Can anyone please help?
In Flash, the sound only plays if the file is started from the beginning. The sound doesn't play if starting from anywhere other than the beginning.
This is very frustrating when trying to sync the animation with the sound as it's not possible to scroll back and forward with the sound playing. The only way the sound works is if it is started from the beginning.
If anyone can help that would be fantastic.
ThanksHi Jeromie,
Many thanks for your help. Here is some additional information, which may shed light on the problem.
I am using Flash Professional CC 2014.0 release, Build 14.0.0.110
The computer I'm using is then iMac running OSX version 10.9.3 Build 13D65 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
I am using Flash, not a web-based editor that leverages Flash Player.
"a direct link to the project or tool would be useful in allowing us to attempt to reproduce the problem" - Not sure how to do this, how can I add the project to the forum?
Many thanks once again for your help, let me know if you need more information.
Cheers

Audigy 2 ZS+Sounds works only if mediaplayer has played some video and you leave mediaplayer
sounds work only in movies with mediaplayer..i have installed ffdshow what pops up when i start videos..if i try to play winamp only, music plays only -2 second and stops but with mediaplayer on backround it will play mp3..
in mediaplayer sounddevice is audigy 2 but winamp directsound output is working only with primary sound device, if i change it to audigy 2 then the music stops

Even reinstalling WIN XP didn't help..same thing with audigy 2 cd full installion
Can anyone HELP me..And sorry about my bad english
Motherboard is DFI Ultra-DMy guess is that your PowerDVD and WinDVD versions don't have ES support and you're using the programs to decode. This might be the case if you are configuring the programs for multiple speakers. If you are, try configuring them for SPDIF output, then make sure the soundcard is configured to decode AC3/DTS (it probably is). Does that help?

My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.

Hi all,
I have a sound loaded that I would like to have smoothly play
while a key is held down.
So I have...
var eSound:EngineSound = new EngineSound();
...keypressed event, etc...
if (upArrowPressed)
if (eSoundPlaying == 0)
eSoundChannel = eSound.play();
eSoundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE,eSoundComplete);
This is part of a game loop, and I have tried a number of
things with the eSoundComplete function too (re-checking status of
the up arrow and re-launching the play() if it's still down, etc.).
The idea is that while the player holds down the up arrow,
the engine sound will play. The engine sound is only about .5
seconds long and is loopable.
Currently if the player holds down the arrow key the sound
will play, stop, play, stop, etc. So there is a little delay
between each...like it's making a skipping sound.
Does anyone know how I can have the sound play as a seemless
loop *only* while a key is held down?
Thanks!
-Kmake sure you have the recording input set correctly in your settings (look under Device options)
however your tv tuner is connected to your soundcard (eg Line-IN) then this should be set accordingly -
Digital sound output only after using Headphones
i used my MacbookPro 17 2.66
with headphones to listen to music and after i removed headphones there is a red light in the headphone port and only digital sound output option in system preferences control panel
If i reinsert headphones, headphone output reappears
Where are my internal speaker option gone
i have a time machine backup
Can i just replace sound preferences
ThanksGenerally that means your headphones' plug is not exactly to dimensional stands and has jammed the internal connector in the jack to the "mute" position. The plug's tip-to-shoulder distance seems to be the variable.
I've found with my MBP that, with non-standard plugs, inserting them only until they function--not until the "stop shoulder" hits the MBP case--prevents this. I have an old and cheap set of external speakers whose plug works perfectly. A patch cable I use to connect to my desktop sound system has a non-standard plug, and I have to leave the plug slightly out of the jack to prevent the problem you see. Again, insert until you hear proper sound to the device, not by feel. I've no problems with the plugs falling out using this technique.
The "official" fix is a new logic board but most people are able to free the internal contact by inserting a plus into the jack and gently wiggling it in the horizontal plane. One person recently said he freed his with a wooden toothpick.
If you use anything other than a standard plug to manipulate the jack, be certain it's non-conductive. BTW, if you use the "Search Discussion" option in the upper right of this page and search for "red light" (use the quotes) you will see a number of threads here on the subject. -
AIR 3.7.0.2090 SOUND Issue ONLY at 1st Launch
Dear developers, I am hoping you can assist me with this.
The app I have been developing is close to launch date. However, the first time launching the app after installing, the game theme song cuts out after about 0.5 to 1 second. If I close the app and reopen it, the theme song plays normally.
This seems like a small issue but first impressions for an app are important and I need this song to play at launch after the app has been installed for the first time.
This problem is occuring on a Samsung 10.1 tablet running Android 4.0.4.
I can make a work around that would not play the song at all on first launch after installation, but would rather not do this.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
JustinHi Mark, thanks again for getting back to me. Your response is much appreciated.
I am going to try implementing the code you suggested for the main theme song. All my other sounds are implemented using the exact code that you suggested.
I have one main function that controls all the sound for the entire game that runs within an enterframe event. Basically, when I want to fire a sound within a level, I use a boolean to trigger the sound. Within the sound function, when the boolean is triggered it plays that sound.
I have another function that initializes all the sound each time I enter a new level. This code only runs from once per level.
Both of these functions are created in frame 1.
I left the main theme song out of these functions as I only play it once (in frame 1)
According to everything I read online, I know I am not supposed to code like this, but each level has its own frame. So there are 21 levels in the game and each with its own frame (actually 2 frames per level, the 2nd frame handles when the level comes to a finish and throws up all the stats, giving the player the option of replaying the level or moving on). It just seemed for me a lot easier to do it like this, especially because within the game there are sort of 4 or 5 different mini games all linked by the same theme.
The game plays well on a Samsung Tablet and I was looking forward to trying it on an IPAD mini but have to wait for my D-U-N-S number.
Anyhow, thanks again...I will try your solution and get back to you.
Justin
PS The storeddata only has highscore info, stars per level info and an option to tell give the user a chance to skip the instructions and tutorial mode. I am going to look at this code very carefully, as I realized the storeddata actually runs on frame 2 and the song cuts out after a half second.....maybe it cuts out when that code is running....maybe I will try moving the location of that code and put the start of the main song after it. -
IPod nano plays only when connected to PC
My nano is a 3rd, I think. I bought it from Apple's iPod website 2 years ago. I was using the iPod on a Harley-Davison plugged into the iPod connection of a Jenson Marine radio. I had it in a little rubbery protecting case. This pas week I had to ride in the rain. While the iPod was protected from the rain moisture built up inside the case. Now it will play only when connect to the PC.
When it is connected to the PC everything works normal. ITunes does not need to be running, only it needs to be connected via the USB. I plug the speakers directly into the iPod and it work normally. But, when I un plug it, it dies. Not only does it quit playing but none of the keys are active. It is just DEAD. The display remains as it was but not moving. Of course I have reloaded factory defaults and started all over. But it is dead if not connected via USB 04/01/09
port.
Hopefully someone can help. It was a $300 unit. I sure don't want to have to buy another.
thanks,
wayneIt sounds like a battery issue to me. When you connect it to the PC it draws power from the computer and thus it is able to function. Apparently it doesn't have enough of its own juice anymore. You probably just need a new battery.

It started yesterday when i was listening to itunes when all of a sudden the music stopped playing and i had to hold down the power button to shut it down and reboot, and then, when i logged back in, the error sound played, and then finder opened up, but the window was grayed out like i had another app selected, bu i didn't, so i tried to open up itunes and the icon started bouncing and then it stopped midbounce and i had to reboot again because finder wasnt responding. now when i log in, the error sound plays, and finder immediately stops working and then i have to reboot again because i cant click anything and i cant properly relaunch finder. please help
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
