I noticed while setting up an 'alarm' that there is no sound. Has anyone else notice this? I went into settings and still could not make any sound. Any suggestions would be helpful.

What ROM version of Pie are you using?
DU v13 Pie, sounds works with no issues at all. For any sound to work the media sounds must be install. Did you try playing a video or using the Web Browser to play sounds?

Thanks for pointing out that I need to install some type of sound.

Update:
I Installed a couple of apps (VLC, Musicolot and a couple of others(since all removed)) plus I used to enjoy Crackle (Sony) it won't even start. Even tried to run a video from YouTube-nothing runs and still no sound.
Should I just start over again and re-install DU v13? And does that means all I have to do is just wipe everything and start with the steps on pg 1? Or is there another way?
From what I have seen so far on my tablet is AWESOME, just need to get some minor "bugs" work out.
HP_Touchpad thanks again for all your help.
quickly, erased everything, re-installed and now have sound. GREAT! Does anyone know of a good sound program for the HPTP? Now to get Sony Crackle to work.

Sound does work on all video playback, once you install the App, specially youtube, reboot the tablet as it may not work the first time is run.
For the alarm, after installing the Pico open Gapps go to sounds setting:
The default alarm sound is set to sunshower : is almost as there was no sound, not a good choice for alarm.
to change sounds
select it
select media storage ( do not select sounds ) it will not work
select from the list.
Attached are the screenshots.
Thanks HP_TOUCHPAD, but I cannot get those screenshots to come up??? Where do I select "change sounds" to get to the "media storage". I did install the Pico version, but I do not see "Gapps". So, I am really missing something here (sorry about that). I do have the Sound screen showing in your first screenshot, so hopefully I'm close. Again, I really appreciate your time on this.
_dave said:

Go to settings --->> Sounds ---->> Default alarm sound (sunshower) ***touch on it*** then a pop up will show to complete action using: select Media Storage and then always, on the next screen select the alarm sound you like.
Where do I select "change sounds" to get to the "media storage". I did install the Pico version, but I do not see "Gapps".
Gapps ( Google Apps ) if you install Pico is a variant of the Open Google Apps (Gapps)

When I touch on "Default alarm sound", I get 3 images under Default alarm sound; Currently set -Sun-Shower - Pixel Sounds; next is 'My Sounds' and finally 'Pixel Sounds'. If I touch on Currently set, I get "Sounds keeps stopping" with the following options a.) App info b.) Close app c.)Send feedback and finally d.) Copy crash log URL.
Also when this screen comes up, it sounds like running water.

That is because you already selected "sounds instead of Media Storage before" and now the app preference for sound is the Sound app and it crash, but there is an option to use Media Storage.
If I touch on Currently set, I get "Sounds keeps stopping" with the following options a.) App info b.) Close app c.)Send feedback and finally d.) Copy crash log URL.

To fix it:

The sound app will be reset, now go back to sound alarm, this time it will show an option select [ Media Storage ]

You are very welcome, if there is any manuals or reference books I do not know. I learn as I go, just found out how to do it and fix it. Customs ROMs have their Tweaks as not all may work as expected and then you have Android that is very fragmented, is all about feeling lucky and give it your best shot!

Install it via rom manager or clockwork. Backup prior to doing so.
If things do not show up immediatly, try installing some random app and see if it populates then.
Otherwise, it will happen the next time the market data sync with the phone.

are there any reasons not to do this? will this lead to bad dependencies? incorrectly installed applications?

A. This isn't Redhat, circa 1997. Android doesn't work that way.
B. Either they install, or they don't.
C. Problems it can cause? It can prevent Incredible only and/or Verizon only applications from showing up. I don't forsee that being an issue, ever so...
This is a simple build.prop change so that the market will show all paid apps.
Before:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/212490:user/release-keys
(Market: wtf is this?)
After:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
(Market: Oh hai, Nexus One!)
Thanks
This worked for me and I got the Documents to Go paid version which was the only thing that I was needing. I had some problems with it kicking me off the network and having to use wifi to connect. After a reboot I was back on the network though so I don't know if that had anything to do with adding this.
Out of curiosity is there a way that I can go back to what it was so that when the market gets fixed it would work like it is suppose to? I saw in the build.prop file what you changed and thought I could just change that back but I wanted to ask before I did.
Thanks so much for this.
This will break custom boot animations?

Thanks for this, one of my paid apps wasn't showing up, this did the trick!
Ok the reason I asked was because someone in ##incredibleroot said it would cause problems
Did they specify what?
Random text about causing problems from someone in IRC without a reason of what or why is pretty worthless.
adrynalyne,
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Here is a new version that includes the streaming audio fixes.
http://www.4shared.com/file/RjEL6jSz/market_streaming_fix_froyo.html
To have the market checkin right away do the following so you don't have to wait or download any other BS apps.
1. Open the Phone app
2. Dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (2432546) ** When you type the last "*" what you typed will disappear.
3. Wait for the message on the notification bar to say "checkin succeeded."
4. All paid apps that were missing should be available.
Thanks.

I guess I'm the only one that has great streaming audio quality. I use Pandora and even before changing the audio quality setting to "High" it didn't sound bad. I wonder what that is that makes it hit or miss on these devices.
Anyways, I just wanted to point out that the AAC fix really slows the phone down a bit. It changed my quadrant scores from 1200's down to 790-800.
Just a FYI.
P.S. Thanks for the Market fix!
i have the htc music widget on my homescreen. after installing the update with the streaming audio fixes whenever i reboot my phone my music starts playing automatically. now when i remove the widget and reboot the music doesn't play.

Ouch, yeah, it did. Is there a way to undo this or fix it?
like that title states notification for text wont sound tried changing the sound nothing all others work tho ringtone for voicemail everything. just cant figure it out.
Just to cover the basics,
Did you do the following:
1) Go to Settings, Sound, Volume and make sure everything is up?
2) Under Settings, Sound and in the Feedback area, make sure that all the appropriate options are selected?
3) Reboot the phone?
4) Use the volume switch on the side to go to completely silent and then push it back up?
Are your mp3 files playing?
Sent from my captivate running firefly!
yep ive done all that stuff mp3 files will play even when im selecting a new tone on the msgs it plays there just wont play when i get a msg. i am using zedge if that helps
the email ringtone that i set for my msg ringtone worked ugh this is pissing me off.
Are you on a custom ROM? I guess it is possible this is a side effect of a bad flash. Might want to try reflashing whatever ROM you are on. Make sure you backup first, but when you restore don't restore system data. Part of that system data could be your problem and you would just be restoring it, thus putting you in an endless loop.
i am on a custom rom continuum v4 but ive been using this one for almost 2 months
If you have root explorer or another file system app, check in your system\media\audio folder. Under the notifications folder, see if you have anything in there. I have had a bad flash wipe my ringtones before and had to download some I wanted. Just a thought
Try this : go to Messaging/menu/settings. The VERY last option will set your sms tone.
well it started working when i did that i noticed it was really low so when it played i turned the volume up and it started working

Thanks this works for me with the same problem. Good thing there's the search bar!
I have been an android user for a long time, but this one is stumping me as there is no process or specific error. I have searched and haven't found anyone with a similar problem. Just got a Nexus 6 today and it will not make any notification sounds. The notification volume is all the way up and phone calls have a ringtone that works. What is really throwing me off is that when I am in the general settings or the settings for any other app, clicking on a notification sound has no response. I will be in settings and overlooking the list of potential default notification sounds and no matter which one I click there is no noise, as where with the ringtones they all will play me the sample.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it, I hate that something this simple has stumped me somehow.
Thank you.
this happens with my alarm sound in the settings. it just won't play it, even though its a google sound. but, when its needed, like when my alarm goes off, it sounds. and that's what is really important. so I ignore the fact that it doesn't play in settings anymore (it used to though).

try using an app to set a notification sound, maybe that will work.

I accidentally selected the phone storage for the location to search for sounds before I changed to settings to always ask and even though I hit cancel at the time I'm stuck with this selection. I made the choice in the Android messages app and tried settings>apps>messages>clear defaults but it didn't change and now I noticed that it's my only choice for other notification sound in other apps too! What am I missing? How do I get it to let me pick the path every time now?
I use Google's messages so I never saw anything that let me choose (also unrooted), but any sounds placed in to notifications folder on the root of the phone and sdcard can be choosen. Just note that it would use the meta tag info, if there are none then it just shows up on list as an entry called 'sound' (possible to have multiple sound entry)

Hmmm... Android message? or the Built in message? Anyway, you could try installing Zedge (ringtones app) and then from within the app try to change the sound. Maybe it will prompt you to reselect the location?

Both apps actually, all notification sounds go to the stick sounds. I can set a sound from Zedge but not to a specific contact or app. I'm looking to get the options back when I click on notification sound in an app.
As a long shot you could try resetting the sound picker app

Well. At least you got it. But for future reference... Maybe look in Settings...Apps... then click on the top right 3 dots.
I found some interesting default apps options.
You can select different ringtones for different contacts. Select a contact you want to change the ringtone for (make sure you've previously downloaded the ringtone you want) and then edit. Scroll down to more then at the bottom of the options you can choose a custom ringtone and message tone.

Ok. Settings...Apps...3 Dots top right corner...Default Apps....Default App Selection....Ask before setting default apps.
You're going to need to clear the default for the app first...then redo it....it will ask, Just once...or Always.

This is what I did after I made my selection. The problem was I couldn't locate the app that kept me from selecting it in notifications do I cleared all defaults. Not a complete loss but mildly inconvenient.

Yeah, unfortunately that would be the only way (since you don't remember the app)...that way, when you select...the option should pop up everytime, as long as you select Just Once everytime.
I'm having the same issue but that options to change message tone is not available on the Oreo Beta, hope the include it in the final build.

Possibly. Although the Contacts app is made by Samsung and isn't included in Android stock (as far as I know). So you might just have the most stable version available whilst they tweak it to work with Oreo.
I personally don't use it as no one ever messages me/calls me. :laugh:

And yet you still paid a large amount of money for this phone...
Bet you'd also have a panic attack if you realised you'd left it at home too...
Device: Redmi Note 10 5G
Firmware: MIUI Global v12.5.3(RKSMIXM)
After the update to the latest firmware, I'm noticing that a lot of my notifications aren't playing sound when they should be. They all have sound enabled in their respective app settings, and the issue seems to only happen some of the time. I've found that I can get them working semi-consistently if I go into the app settings, tap the sound (which is already set correctly), choose "Pre-Installed Ringtones" in the Themes app, and then hit Apply next to the sound file I want to use. Notifications received after doing this seem to work correctly (i.e. play sound) for a while, but then they stop a short time later.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the MIUI Themes app itself, as one app on my phone, Signal, doesn't bring up the Themes app when I go to select the notification sound, instead bringing up a ringtone picker app I found on the play store. Honestly, I hate the Themes app's layout anyway, and wish I could use the other app to choose all notification sounds, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
If anyone else has experienced this issue and/or has any suggestions to fix, I'd appreciate it.
i dont have this bug. try reinstall via software update the full firmware, by the function "download latest package". it's safe, no data loss, and this procedure (that i made mee to) speed up the system

I tried this, unfortunately no change. Multiple notifications still come up with just vibration, despite the sound being enabled and selected. If I go back through and re-select the sound, it works for a while, but will randomly stop a short while later
other sounds works?
wetito said:

Click to expand...

Yes, all other sounds seem to work. Ringtones for calls, alarms, media sounds seem to have no issues.
I'll give a specific example: I set the notification sound for Google Voice messages yesterday afternoon. It seemed to work for the rest of the day. Today, I see the notification pop up, but never heard the sound. It's very annoying, so unlikely that I missed it. I checked the settings without changing them, everything is still set correctly.
My suspicion at this point, after having done a bunch of research on how the ringtone picker intent is handled, is that the MIUI settings customization is somehow failing. I believe the notification sounds are stored in the Android settings package, but MIUI has taken over those parts, and somehow that is failing, but I'm not able to dig deeper since MIUI seems to be closed source. Granted, I'm not a dev, and know just enough Java to muddle my way through interpreting and understanding code, so my guess could be totally off.
have you tried remove miui battery optimization from the app that have this problem? and set remove all limitation? sometimes cause notifications issues. also try disable mi notifications app, use only android notification

I removed battery opti.ization from all those apps awhile ago.
As for the Mi notifications app, are you referring to this?
the hest thing u can do is a new clean installation but first u can try change some setttings. but i'm not sure, it's only an ideai. example: open WhatsApp info, and in battery option set remove all limitations instead off miui optimizations. if the priblem don't go away, i think that an update caused this bug so downgrade your firmware to the latest bugless is the better solution. but first u can try modify some setting... or remove the update from sone syatem app if it's possible your bug is particular
I faced the same problem. I use tasker and have one profile that changes the ringtone when connected to office WIFI
it works but then it sort of stops all notification sounds.
Earlier I thought this is some phone setting issue but when i disabled the profile from tasker my notifications are intact.
Probably something to do with theme app.
