X220i: sound doesn't work when camera is activated

Hi all,
I've a weird problem: my sound works well when I'm listening music, video, etc. whith the speakers or an headphone.
But when I activate the camera (for Skype or Google Hangout), the sound stops to work (while the video image works well).
When I try to manage the sound (by making the sound test during a videoconference), I got this error message (sorry, it's in French, it means "Impossible to read the test tone"):
Do you have any idea where the problem comes from?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, djiwai91
If you haven't already, I would recommend trying to update all your drivers and your BIOS to see if that helps. All updates for your system can be found here. After downloading and installing them, test the camera again and see if there are any changes.
Best of luck,
Adam

Sound doesn't work when two user accounts open?

I noticed that when I have 2 different user accounts open, the sound only works in one of them. Why is this?

The iMac is only designed to have one active user at a time, so there's sound only for the account in use.
Hope this helps

Sound doesn't work when app is reactivated

Hi,
I've developed a small game and deployed it with the packager for iPhone.
Everything works fine until a call interrupts the game. I listen for the events with:
// a call interrupts the app
ativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onDeactivate);
// the app is reactivated after the call is finished
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.ACTIVATE, onActivate);
When returning to the app everything works fine except the sound effects are not working anymore.
It seems as if iOS »mutes« the app for the call but forgets to »unmute« it when returning.
Anyone experienced the same? Any solutions to this problem?
I appreciate your help.
Cheers,
Fabian

i'm not so sure it's an iOS problem. i suspect a coding problem.
to test, create a new app that contains one frame, your sound in the library with a class (eg, S) and add:
var sp:Sprite=new Sprite();
addChild(sp);
with(sp.graphics){
beginFill(0xaa0000);
drawRect(10,10,20,20);
endFill();
var s:S=new S();
sp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:Event):void{
s.play();
make sure the sound plays when the sprite is clicked, receive a call and then re-activate your app. if you fail to hear the sound with that code, try:
var sp:Sprite=new Sprite();
addChild(sp);
with(sp.graphics){
beginFill(0xaa0000);
drawRect(10,10,20,20);
endFill();
var s:S=new S();
var sc:SoundChannel;
sp.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,f);
function f(e:Event):void{
sc=s.play();
var st:SoundTransform=sc.soundTransform;
st.volume=1;
sc.soundTransform=st;

Sound doesn't work when I plug in my monitor to HDMI port

I have a new HP Envy15laptop and an older AcerAC2016W with VGA connection. I purchased a vga to hdmi adapte cable. When I plug in my monitor, the sound shuts down. If I unplug the monitor the laptop speakers work fine.

Hi,l I don't know which VGA to HDMI cable you are talking about but VGA does not carry sound and your machine may think it use HDMI sound therefore it shuts down sound with HDMI, if you wish to use sound from your computer you need to disable HDMI sound: Right click speakers icon > Select Play back devicesSelect use internal sound and disable HDMI sound (if it was there) You have to enable it when use pure HDMI (ie from HDMI to HDMI TV for example) Regards.

My ipad 2s sound is not working when I have headphones in.

I've had the Ipad 2 for about two years now and my sound doesn't work when I have headphones in. I mean it works but I have to turn the sound up all the way and it sounds like it would be on the lowest sound mark. Is that confusing. I thought it was my headphones at first and it didn't really bother me because I didn't use headphones a lot. I had the same headphone for about a year which is why I thought they were the problem, but a couple of months ago I got some new, really good pair of headphones and they have the same problem. If I am watching youtube without my headphones and I turn it up all the way I can still hear it if I walk upstairs, but if I put headphones in and turn it up all the way I can barely hear the sound. I know it is not the headphones because they work perfectly in my phone. Is it something wrong with the headphone jack and can I get it fixed at apple.

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Macbook pro buzzing, sound doesn't work, disk is falsely full...

My 15 inch macbook pro has started buzzing a lot lately at random times. I've had it since 2009, but it's a 2008 model, and I don't know if it's just getting old and telling me that it's going to die soon, or if there's something I can do about it.
It also has other problems, like the sound doesn't work when I start it up (the volume icon is greyed out), and doesn't work again until I've restarted it twice.
Also, when I have programs open, it'll tell me that my disk is full and I only have a few mb of disk space left even if I had many GB available before I opened the programs. I tried fixing this on my own by not having multiple programs open at once, but the disk space won't come back until I restart the computer. It only started doing this a few months ago, and I don't know why.
I used to keep it on all the time and just let it sleep, but I've been shutting it down every day now, and I have the same problems. I don't know what's happening, if it's my fault, or if my computer is just dying, but I need it for animation school and professional photography so if possible I want a heads up if it's about to crash on me.
Thank you.

This worked for me
Reboot the Mac and as soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Command+Option+P+R keys together
When you hear the boot sound again, the PRAM has been reset so let the Mac boot again as usual
At this point your Mac should boot again as usual and no longer have the black display, loading OS X as usual.

Hello Kiira Doon,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below may help get your iPhone's display to function.
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?Contact Apple Support.

HT1657 I rented a movie and the sound doesn't work, how do I fix it?, who do I direct to for a complaint?

Hi, I rented warhorse HD, and the sound doesn't work, my itunes version is 10.6.1(7). How do I fix it or who do I direct to get my money back? Thank you

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

OP should first go through the wiki page of ALSA to ensure that his ALSA setup is working correctly. There aren't many sound setups that do not work under ALSA. If OP is relying on another sound setup then he should follow the appropriate wiki and tell us so.
@otto88: It would also help if you would try to explain what your intentions were. I'm assuming you merely want to have sound working and not configure some fancy setup. In that case you should just stick to a basic setup and follow the wiki step by step (don't skip any line and if you don't understand something, you figure that out or you ask people, don't just ignore it).
For instance I don't even have those /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf even though I have 2 sound devices, while you seem to only have 1 sound device
otto88 wrote:cat /proc/asound/modules

So your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf in that case is totally unnecessary, let alone that you don't even have the snd_mia module loaded so why do you even configure alsa to load it at index 1. You aren't supposed to simply copy and paste the configurations from the wiki. Those configurations are merely there to give you an idea on how to make your own configuration.
When you have ensured that your sound is been set up correctly then you can start with the most basic mplayer configuration. You keep the /etc/mplayer/example.cong configuration file totally commented out (like you have atm) and your ~/.mplayer/config should only contain
ao=alsa

Got iPhone 5. Really Disappointed! After 2 days, alert and typing sounds are not working. Camera is terrible!

Bought iPhone 5. Really disappointed. Within 2 days, alert sounds and typing sounds are not working. Camera is terrible. My old HTC One S was far superior!

First, no, it is not showing orange. I checked the silent button immediately. Then I checked the sounds section of my settings, but all is good there. When I get a phone call, it rings fine. Alert and typing sounds are not working.
Second..., yes this was a technical point (in which I was hoping someone else might have had the same problem, with a solution), as well as a complaint (definitely one worth making as it is not a minor issue - it is important to hear text alerts when you have children).
