[Q] Audible selection sound gone ? uh..what ? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok mysteriously I've lost my audible touch sound.
Things I've tried.
Deselect then reselect Audible selection .
Same for touch tones.
Then an old fashion reboot.
Is repairing my phone using Samsung PC Companion my only choice for fixing this issue?

In Astro
/system/media/audio/ui
I see all the sound files. Problem is they're not "sounding" .
If "you" look there and see them, does yours have an "r" at the end of the shaded information line for each sound file ?

In 2.1, audible selection sound is considered by the system as multimedia sound.
Play a video or a song and use the volume keys to increase the sound.
Then, you should be able to hear audible selection sound too.

Nope.. Didn't work.
If I go thru Astro, I can click the sounds and hear them one at a time.

FIxed with help from RoseRed on AndroidForums
Used this app, Discovered system volume was all the way down but yet I was still getting dialer tones ??

Some questons: radio and sound

Hi.
I`ve 2 questons...
1. Sometimes I miss calls because xda doesnt respond to call - even no missed calls... What to do ?
2. Very often sound disappear... I mean if I hear for mp3 music and somebody calls me - sound turns off in programs (including windows media player and other), but call signal works... What to do ?
ROM version - 3.17.03 ENG
Radio version - 4.21.00
PS: Sorry 4 poor english...
I don't know if I've had exactly the same problem as you, but I have had similar problems. I found if I leave an MP3 player open in memory this situation occurs. I use PocketMusic (or did until yesterday) and leaving PocketMusic open in memory caused all sound to disappear until I killed off PocketMusic.
Hmm... I dont need to open any players to problem occur
Even after restart when a call anyone after that sound disappear
Is it problem of XDA or Windows ?
Is anyone knows util for volume change ? Just like in any desktop windows ?
I`ve found a decision...
Sound works fine in windows ppc2003 - just upgrade your xda
And hold Phone program in a memory - and everebody can call u
I don't know whether this is the same problem but here goes...
I also use PocketMusic (marvellous player) and noticed that when I had incoming calls that the phone would just do the default system beep at me. I tried going to the sounds and notifications control panel to play the "Old phone" ring tone however it just beeped at me...
I then realised that I'd selected .wma in PocketMusic as one of the file types that were associated with PocketMusic. I un-ticked wma as a filetype to be used by PocketMusic and it worked again.
This may be what your problem is.

.mp3 SMS Notification Issue

Hi guys,
Dont hate on me if it's been answered before, but I have a question that I would really like a straight answer to. Before I had my Raph, I was raised on Nokia's. In this instance, when I have a full .mp3 track as my message tone, it would play, then when the phone was activated (unlocked or msg read) the song would stop playing. I would like someone who has to knowledge to think of a way that this setting can be replicated on the Raph.
It is annoying to no end that the only tones I can get that don't play for +3mins are small, low volume chimes that I can't hear in the car, walking with the phone in my pocket etc.
If a fix could be found, can someone post a link OR explain how this can be done.
Thanks in advance.
have you tried convert the music file to .wav format instead of .mp3
Ok just confirming. I can get the .mp3 file to play as my message tone. But it will play start to finish. I want a fix or mod that will stop it playing once I have unlocked the phone or turned the screen back on.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That happens when you put them in your ringtone folder, have you tried to put them in the root of your sd card then selecting them in the notifications menu?
as far as I know there is no thing like that. BTW Welcome Fellow Nokia to TP USER. I also only was a Nokia person and decided to try something new. Sure this thing doesn't have as many cool things as my Nokia E62 but the customizing that can be done is fun as hell.
.WMA seems to be the preferred Ringtone format from what I am seeing in the file system - yes, it will work with other formats.
I haven't found a way to stop playback once it has started; seems like it has to go through to the end of the audio file.
a way 2 stop it is 2 press down on the d-pad, like the direction down. It will stop. I was having the same problem with my fuze.

[Q] Weird Ringtone issue

I have a LG Optimus T509 and I have flashed it with CM7
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0+RC1-Thunderg-KANG
Kernel: 2.6.32.42-franco.kernel.v18
Suddenly I am facing a weird issue with my ring tones, I set my ringtone to "Cassiopeia" originally. Since yesterday, even if i try to change my ringtone in the sound application it plays the sound "Club Cubano" when i select any of the ringtones in the phone. Same track over and over and over again.
I tried changing the ringtone from the profiles and there too the same issue. Interestingly, the phone doesnt ring to "Club Cubano" which it plays while testing the ring tones from sound setting. It plays something else.
Is there a fix for this / Is this a known issue?
I have similar problem with my P500. Not sure when it started, already a while ago, didn't have time to deal with that earlier.
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Thunderg-KANG
Kernel: 2.6.32.42-franco.kernel.v18
I noticed that phone wasn't playing the ringtone (a mp3 file in the Music folder on SD card) it should. Ringotne in the Sound settings seemed correct. When I tried to change it to anything else it still played the same song.
Another weird thing is that if caller hang up before I pick up the phone ringing music stops and another track starts playing as if music player continues playing the song which was interrrupted. It stops when I press anything on the screen (if locked have to unlock first).
I tried renaming those to music files and then I got some generic rigtone. So for now I renamed the second music file and sticking with the unchangeable ringtone. Fortunately the song is OK, but still the issue is damn annoying...
Any ideas how to fix this?

Sound enhancer not working at all...

Hi
Is anybody else having issues with the sound enhancer app (in the settings menu)?
It doesn't function at all on my phone, there is no difference when srs is selected, and there doesnt appear to be any change when selecting an equalizer setting when earphones are connected.
Id really prefer not to reset the phone and delete my txts and settings...etc
Is there anything i can do to fix the problem?

No audio from browser, audio player but phone works. possibly skype related.

Hey together. I'm a noob *duck* - but I did quite some search on google and on these forums before posting, and I'm not a very stupid noob.
Today I got the situation that no audio is audible any longer from my browser, games, audio apps, or from an audio player (all of them previously worked). This is the case for headphone and also the built in speaker. The problem occurred very likely after using skype. I also still have audio in phone calls and also I still have sound for ringtones and other alarms. Handset functioms all still work fine.
The first obvious thing I did was checking volume settings in the android settings. There I moved all sliders - the one responsible for regular audio did not give me any feedback. If I use the volume buttons on the phone while I'm on my home screen I get audible feedback - but that doesn't influence my problem.
Funnily the sound in skype still works. More funnily: during skype calls the audio from my browser or the audio player is also audible (I tried this just out of couriousity as I suspected Skype to be the cause of my problem. Et voila - I got sound from a TV News page and also from the Walkman app while the call on skype was still running. As soon as the call in Skype ended the audio from browser and adio player got muted again.
I also tried to kill skype during a call in order to kill it before it can again mute the audio - No luck. as soon as the skype app is killed also the audio from audio player and Browser vanishes.
I also tried some audio apps - all have the same issue of having no sound.
I then tried different apps which control volumes - without any luck. So at the moment I don't have audio, except during skype calls.
I guess that skype has either access to some hardware settings which aren't used usually (I hated skype for things like this as long as it had existed) - or I'm missing something very obvious. Or something else. Does anybody of the developers here know about linux settings I could modify? (is there something like alsamixer which is only possible to access via jni or similar?)
// Edit:
Just found out that toggling airplane mode ON I have sound for media (audio player, browser). (but also lose the ability to use my cellphone and network). As soon as I switch back to airplainmode OFF also audio is muted again. And for sure - I also tried rebooting in different states of my phone quite often without any difference.
// Edit 2:
looks like I found a workaround but no permanent solution - I installed an app SoundAbout (free app) recommended for similar problems in an other thread: 89996-galaxy-s3-media-volume-stuck-mute.html (I have now put output permanently to "headphones" for media sounds. However as soon as this setting is reset to the default (let app decide) it is muted again when airplane mod is set to off - looks like an other app resets it? (could not find any app obviously doing this though as I stopped the usual suspects)
I still suspect Skype as the original reason for this problem as I just recently had it updated when the problem appeard and it also messes with this kind of stuff during usage (and I don't really use other apps dealing with audio except of browser, music player which weren't updated for a long time).
Maybe also of concern:
It's an sony xperia p, running Android 4.0.3 and it is currently rooted.
