Help!! Screen Lock & Audible Selection sounds not working!

[daniel178]

Hello,
So I don't know exactly when it started happening, but my "audible selection" (makes sounds/clicks when you press soft buttons on screen) and my "screen lock" (makes sounds/clicks when the lock-unlock slider is swept) are no longer working.... Or, they are EXTREMELY quiet (can't hardly hear them, even in a silent room).

No new apps, etc. Running BAMF 1.3. (but I did still have the sounds for a little while after flashing the ROM).

any ideas?

Download audio manager from the market. Raise your system volume with the slider. Fixed.

Is there any way to fix this without downloading another app? Also, can I uninstall it after? Or will this problem reoccur?

Just downloaded Audio Manager, wow, what a shoddy program. Now my sounds (system "clicks") are sometimes loud, sometimes soft, sometimes not there at all.

Any real fix for this?

go to settings-->sound-->all the way on bottom is feedback-->check audible selection and screen lock sounds

hope that helps!

Do a battery pull, If that doesn't work a master reset should be on the menu then.

Sub-dawn,
Um, that's exactly what's not working.

Also tried a battery pull and restarting the phone. Still no help.
Where would I do a master reset? Is this the sane as a factory reset? I don't want to wipe my phone of all its data (again).

 

[SUB-dawg]

so they are checked but there is still no noise right?

Yep your going to have to wipe the phone and re load everything.

 

[daniel178]

Um, that is unacceptable. Whats the point of this if every time there's a problem (which there shouldn't be in the first place), you have to completely erase your $250 phone?

It happens. If you exchange the phone guess what? Your going to have to re program it anyway. Get out your Hankie dry your eyes and do the reset.

I am also experiencing this problem. I have unlock/locks sounds and you can barely here them, but when you have a headset plugged in everything works fine. I checked the speakers by playing a song and everything seems to be fine with the speakers.

I tried a battery pull and still here the sounds but very faint.

 

[neoterixx64]

The audio program has helped.

I have the same problem. Restart does not work, factory reset does not work as I've done both as well as other things. I've taken it to a tech and they have no clue. I think it's software related as I've noticed when in the app menu and selecting an app is normal volume but any other time it's washy on when it happens.

Honestly the people with the problem should just download audio manager from the market. It wont hurt. I had the same problem.

sent for my fantastic thunderbolt.

Not sure why it happens but my lock sound stops from time to time. If you go into the maps app and enter a destination and click on navigation once the navigator speaks it will return your lock sounds.

 

[andunn31]

I also have the same issue as the original OP. Obviously a software glitch since others in this topic have reported the same thing.

 

[Mottled Indoeuropean Mongoose]

Forget about wiping your phone and all that rubbish. FChance's fix worked for me: go into Navigator and get it to speak some directions to you. After that, presto, screen unlock and button sounds all work fine again.

 

[bencollinz]

i didn't need it to speak for me, just opening the app and choosing a destination did it for me. thank you!

I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to thank you for the advice. It works on a Droid X running a .605 Thanks again.
