I've been running cm7 since build 57, all UI sounds were playable then. Since I usually keep my phone on silent, I can't say for certain when exactly my UI sounds stopped working, but it was probably around #65. Anyway, the sounds on the dialer work, however the screen lock/unlock, and all keypress sounds are gone. I've checked the system folder, the files are there in system/media/audio/ui and in the .ogg format. Any ideas as to what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
For the record, I've made sure the sound settings have audible touch and screen lock/unlock sounds checked, and I've flashed at least 3 times since the problem started. Ran 'fix permissions' as well, to no avail.

The same thing has happened to me, since #77. I only noticed it as missing notification sounds. I think I've disabled all other UI sound effects. I read on an forum after searching for this issue that someone fixed it by doing a factory reset and flashing the latest firmware again. I'm not quite there yet where I'll want to restore everything again..
I tried a factory reset this evening and flashed #84 but still no notification sounds unfortunately. Bizarre.
Hi,
same problem here, are you using voodoo sound?

Have you tried going into settings/cm settings/sounds and had a play with the settings in there?

Yes, but there is no sound for lock/unlock the phone.
I did the same last night with no change, but this morning I fired up the Google Plus app and my phone buzzed and played the notification sound! I didn't change anything!
Vibrations are turned off in the system settings but when I get a text message the notification causes a vibration anyway.
Argh, tested again and notification sounds are turned off again. Bah.
I had Voodoo Sound installed but I haven't installed it since I did a factory reset last night.
hmmm ok, after flashing nightly 84 and google apps, all sounds work well.
But after flashing fugu kernel the sounds of lock/unlock dont work.
Eighter reboot or kernel would be the solution, didnt test it yet.
MfG
ok for me i have found the mistake...
i always delete /system/media because edit hosts file with addfree dosnt work...
and create /media path on sdcard...
now,after flashing newer nightly it is not necessary to delete media in /system
all sounds work after reboot or flashing fugu kernel
MfG
This is extremely odd. Yesterday and today the notification sounds worked, but only in the morning. Come the afternoon the sounds (and vibration) stopped working. Very, very weird.
Try this:
Go into Settings->CyanogenMod Settings->Sound.
Uncheck "Notification Focus", "Silent State" and "Vibrate during calls" and also set and unset Quiet Hours.
I did all of the above and notification sounds came back. Will keep you posted on what happens next.
Still working a few days later. My guess is that the database of settings got corrupted somehow and by changing the settings above I was able to fix them. Phew!
It doesn't explain why the notifications worked in the morning and then broke later in the day though. I'm just glad they're working at all now.

Running Myn's build from SD Card and 2 EXT2 partitions.
I cannot play any sounds.
Music:
When I attempt to play music via any music player, I see the marker advancing but no sound comes out. While the music is playing, I am moving the volume level up and down. I do see the volume indicator in the middle moving higher and still no sound.
Ring Tones:
My phone now vibrates, but does not ring.
I attempted to change the ringer to another ringer. When I select the new ring tone, it freezes the screen (as though it cannot find it or play it) and eventually I get the message "Activity Android System (in process system) is not responding". Button options are: "Force Close" or "Wait". Eventually, will get an "Android" boot. It does not go all the way back to the Linix reboot Penguin screen.
Things I have already tried:
- Reinstalled the System
- Cleared dalvic cache
- Wiped data and reinstalled from back up
Any ideas?
Thanks
Your speaker probably went out. You can verify it's not android by flashing a win-mo rom.

if his speaker went out i don't think that the process would crash when he went into settings, try wiping and playing something from a fresh install, don't restore backup
When I reboot, I do hear the WinMo start up sound, do my speaker is working.
So, now I will do a fresh install and start fresh with a new data (no data restore).
Just wish there was an easier way to restore all my home settings and installed apps... Other than having to reinstall all from Market and place on my 5 screens.
Thank you for your ideas!
Research:
- Fresh install and wiped data. Results = Ring Tones and music work again.
- Then just out of curiosity, reloaded the databackup.img file. Results = No more ring tone sounds again.
Conclusion:
My data file somehow got corrupted. Not sure how.
Actually, this is not bad...
I've not had to rebuild my envirionment/dataimage in weeks!
I do really still LOVE using Android. So much better than WinMo! ! !

Well, i'm in a similer boat, my data got screwed up and now my market doesn't work, won't download apps
Just after I power on my phone it makes a loud, annoying noise like: "beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep beep-beep"
It started when I set a custom ringtone and notification sound.
The only cause I can think of is that maybe the phone is trying to play my custom sounds files before they have been scanned by the media scanner, which is resulting in a system notification sound being played instead.
Is that likely to be the case?
My custom sounds are stored in: /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/notifications and /mnt/sdcard/media/audio/ringtones
Thanks.
Delete or move your custom sounds to test your theory .
No mention of firmware .

Sorry, I was sort of seeing if anyone had a similar problem first. Anyway:
Firmware: 2.2.1
Baseband: I9000XXJPY
Build: FROYO.XXJPY
(Not rooted)
I think I am meant to get Gingerbread any day now, and I plan to root after that - so maybe one of those will fix it.

What I noticed on mine is this only happens when there is a voice mail left when phone was off. I get this annoying, almost non-stop beeping when the phone boots up, and about the only way to stop it is too check notifications asap. I have no tone that sounds like this beeping, and have no clue why it does this on boot. I thought it was stock ROM issues, but I have flashed auxora and trigger 3.2, and get the same annoying beeping. It is only when there is a voice mail in the notifications, when booting up phone.
Thanks jman!
I had the same problem, hours of searching 'android boot alarm' and endless variations on google found nothing on this. I googled 'android beeping at boot', found this thread and you were 100% correct. I cleared my voicemail and no more beeps! Seems like an odd bug, anyone know a way to prevent this from happening any further? I was minutes away from a hard reset before I found your advice. Thanks!
Same here on I9000B Froyo 2.2 JPA
I hate this beep. Its so loud.
I've been installing few ROMs tonight one of which was Amestris JVR Orange...
After being on it for a while, and installing some addons (transparent status bar, etc) all of a sudden i lost all sounds: no phone call sound, no ringtones, no notification, keypad sound.
I didn't lose the files themselves obviously, it's just that they can't be played.
Volume is checked already.
Flashed 3 other ROMs in the meantime, Juwe, latest MIUI 1.9.2, etc...and all have the same problem. Hard resetted few times inbetween also!
What the hell happened to my phone??????
Please reply if you have even a suspicion of WTF happened!
Thanks!
Edit: i'm on Juwe 5.3 right now
tried *#0673# (audio test) and everything says it's "on"
Edit2: tried all methods from here:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-i7500/53322-no-sound-all-help-please.html
With the headphones i can hear everything, when i unplug them it's NO sound(s) played thru the speaker.
No idea what happened but after leaving it charging overnight i had sounds back today morning...didnt touch anything!

Please help!
I have the AT&T version and I'm having the same issue. After a factory reset the vibration for notifications works again but then eventually stops working again...
no vibration
Mine stopped working recently. Not sure how to fix it. Is it something I installed? It does not vibrate for incoming texts or phone calls.
Flashing a stock ROM fixed this for me. I've seen others say that fixing permissions or wiping dalvik will fix too.
Only time this happens to me is when flashing ROMs
I'm sure this makes no difference but when I flash a ROM, I leave those bottom settings under Sound as the defaults. Aka haptic on.
I'm running the stock AT&T ROM. Do I need to be rooted to wipe the dalvik cache? What does "fix the permissions" mean? THANX!

That shouldn't happen running bone stock. Try a factory reset first if you have not done so already. Don't install any apps. Run the phone for a day. If your issue returns I would swap the phone out for a replacement.
The haptic motors in every Android device I've ever owned has done some weird thing or another. I stopped using it. Why blow the motor out early? Vibrate on silent for notifications I found to be sufficient. At first I was put off by changing my using habits but disabling haptic feedback has grown on me.
EDIT: I see you did a factory reset and it came back. I'd exchange for a different handset. Just me though. Someone here might have another solution
THANKS!!!!
;/
It's old topic, I know, but Im bumping it. Vibrations in external apps like facebook messenger or kakaotalk doesnt work for me, but for normal messages, phone calls etc it works, so I doubt its fault of phone. And in my Galaxy Ace before I had same issue, but it just stopped working after some update from devs of this apps i said. Though it would be strange that only few people has such problems. I think its something about settings or w/e, can anybody help here in this thread without saying 'factory reset or exchange phone' ?
Thanks <3
/stock ICS
This is apparently a common enough thing from what I've seen on line, but every solution I find involves the person having used a profile switcher or their calender to signify being unavailable. I do not use either type of program. I almost never silence my phone. (in the movie theater or similar, yes, but otherwise never) Does anyone have any idea what it could be? It;s only been happening since the OTA update to .217 ICS. It's getting thoroughly aggravating missing calls and texts, as I'm sure you can imagine... Thank you to anyone with ideas/suggestions.
Check your settings in both the system settings as well as each individual app. I think after the update the messaging app is set to silent by default, or at least the vibrate is turned off.
If the system is messed up I recommend that everyone install the ota factory reset. Clearing out your old GB data and letting the ICS run "fresh" solves a lot of problems.

Could it be a Smart Actions setting?
Settings are all fine yet it does randomly put itself on silent mode no vibration and you have to turn it back to vibration via settings volume rocker just puts it back on silent....

If it keeps happening tomorrow, I will do a full factory reset. Hoping I won't have to though. It's a pain in the rear to restore everything... It isn't a smart action thing because I have that app frozen, good thought though. Thank you all for the responses.
I tried a fr from recovery menu never froze apps nor rooted this d4 didn't help...

Update
I've found that it is only doing it with phone calls now. I cannot find a setting in the phone app or the system settings that is set to mute, but it keeps happening. Also, after using the lock screen to unmute it, I have to turn up the volume manually. The lock screen thing only bumps it up to the minimum volume level... Anything else come to mind before i do a full FR? I'd really rather avoid it if I can... Thanks again.
Now I've got one worse. Did a FR, no go. Tried to update to Eclipse, and messed it up. Had to .sbf back to factory. EVEN AFTER the .sbf, still having the same issue with it muting while recieving a call.... (i.e. goes on vibrate instead of ringing....) Any ideas ANYONE???!!?!?!?
Honestly, this sounds like a hardware issue to me. If I understand correctly, it sounds like the phone keeps going to silent (or vibrate after ICS)?
My guess after all your software troubleshooting is that your volume down key is either physically or electronically damaged, and periodically decreases itself. You might want to try remapping the volume button or something to see if that solves the problem. Of course, after that you don't have any volume buttons, which stink.
Aside, the physical buttons (power, volume) on the D4 really stink. They are very mushy and almost flush with the case, poor design if you ask me.
That thought crossed my mind also, but it only happens on an incoming call, and I can adjust the volume up and down in every app. If I don't receive a call all day, there is no problem, texts & emails work fine. I've even had a friend sit with me and text me (sound worked) then call me (muted as it received the call) and all it did was vibrate, no ringtone. I have who is it and thought it might be that, but un-installed it and no change... I'm totally out of ideas...
Thank you for the ideas, unfortunately nothing has worked so far. Any further ideas will be much appreciated. Thanks again.
Finally figured it out. Apparently it had to do with some stetting that Who Is It made. I had it set to announce the caller, which apparently doesn't work now. When I un-installed who is it nothing changed, so I re-installed it and on a whim disabled the announce feature, and it's been ringing fine since. I believe it was some sort of setting because after disabling the announcement, I un-installed who is it again, and the phone would ring without a problem. No Idea what setting it was. Thanks to veryone for the help.
