No sound, only alarm makes a sound - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
I just put CM9 alpha 2 on my TP but I can't get sound through the speakers or the headphones, ever. The only thing that makes a sound is the alarm, so I know the speakers work.
If I go into Sound > Volumes, the "Music,video,games&other media" icon has a slash through it as does "Notifications". The "Alarms" icon has no slash, is lit up, and the volume works for that.
Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
thanks.
[solved] Didn't know, but if you hold down the power button there is a sound control at the bottom you can turn it back on.

I've screwed up bluetooth somehow.

It use to be that my bluetooth (jaw bone) would ignore the volume set on the phone. I've screwed something up by where now if I set the phone to vibrate (consequently turning sound off) the headset turns it's volume down as well. I played with the volume control on the phone and indeed when I move the slider up and down, the bluetooth volume is effect.
I played around with some registry setting I read here that could possibly enhance bluetooth audio quality, but now I've got it like this and it sucks.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Volume keeps resetting down to nothing

I tried to set the volume on the title bar of the today menu to something other than the lowest volume (nothing). I close it, then reopen it, the indicator resets it to the lowest volume.
Has anyone seen this before? I've tried searching but found mostly bluetooth volume isssues.
Yep, BT will do it if you have the volume off when your turn BT on. Also, if you have HTC Home make sure that in the profiles tab it's not set to silent or vibrate.
It turns out to be some weird feature. If I tap on the speaker image part, it will make the phone silent. If I tap on the sound part, the 3 lines to the right of the speaker image part, it will turn on sound. I didn't even know I had that feature.
I'm having this exact problem with my Mogul. I tried tapping on the "sound lines" like you said to fix it but that doesn't do anything. I'm stuck.

Ring Volume keeps dropping to 0

Anybody ever heard of the ring volume dropping itself to the bottom of the slider?
I keep missing calls and texts because the ring volume has turned itself off
the radio button is set to 'on' so i slide the volume up to full, then click on the speaker icon to close that box. Open it up straight away and the slider is back at the bottom!
There are other people with the same problem, it has a topic right here: volume drop.
I always adjust my volume with the 2 sliders, because I've also missed several calls when using the profile-buttons.
I had the same problem. I discovered that if I tap on the speaker part of the icon located at the top in the title bar, it would set my volume to 0. If I tap on the noise part (the 3 lines to the right of the speaker icon) it would return to the normal volume. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
fantastic, thanks.
I checked my sound & notification settings and they seemed to be set to not ring - very odd.
i'll check that thread out though

Problems with Silent/Sound modes, any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I have the following issues with the sound on my Redmi Note 4X .
1. When my phone is on "Sound" and I turn it to "Silent" and then I go back to "Sound" it's actually still on "Silent" because when I go to the Sound settings i can see that the volume is on 0 and i need to move the bar manually and that's every time when I go from Sound to Silent and back to Sound it doesn't remember my volume and it stays on 0 and i need to raise the volume manually every time when i move from Silent to Sound.
2. Another issue is when i turn off the Multimedia Sound I am still able to hear WhatsApp/Facebook etc. notification sounds which is not normal when the Multimedia Sounds are turned off.
3. When talking on speaker, the speaker sound is very weak.
Any suggestions on these guys? Thank you in advance!
No one?
Hi, I have the same issue as #1, but no idea what to do with it. Anyone have anything?

No sound control popup or actual volume change when using volume buttons

I'm running COS 6.1 A.10 on my unrooted/unlocked European X2 Pro.
When I press the physical volume buttons, I very often don't see the sound control popup. Sometimes it appears and I can change the volume, but in most cases it doesn't appear at all. It doesn't make a difference which app I'm using - YouTube, Prime Video. I don't have an active BT device linked or a headset plugged in either. Quiet Time is turned off, all volumes in Sound & Vibration are turned to medium, the default function for volume buttons is set to Media Volume although nothing changes if it's set to Media Volume.
I used to have MacroDroid to change sound settings based on time/location/events but that's uninstalled. I still have Do Not Disturb which mutes my phone during calendar events. Regardless of any such apps, I should still be able to use the volume buttons to adjust the volume but there are no popups most of the time.
I just restarted my phone and the volume popup is back. I know this happened before but after a while it's gone again without knowing why. Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason and how I can get my volume popup back permanently? Thanks for your help.
