Cant hear my music

One thing to check is the ringer volume - by default you can change the ringer volume using the volume controls on the side of the phone even when the phone is locked - this often means that it can get pressed in your pocket to zero volume, which is very annoying. Try pressing the volume up button from the home screen while not playing any music and see if it goes up. You can set the volume in the settings and even tell the buttons to only change music volume, which is what I do.

may be your ringing volume is set to zero. to check, go to profiles. select personalize option for the activated profile(general) increase the ringing volume.

If the other person can hear you then YOUR microphone is working fine.
The reason may be that his microphone is faulty (solution below)
Otherwise:

1. Make sure the volume is turned up on your speakers (and if using external speakers they are plugged in / turned on) . To increase volume go to Control Panel, Sounds & Audio Devices and adjust the slider on "Device Volume" . Also click on "Loudspeaker Volume" and adjust the sliders there as necessary.
2. Can you hear other sounds (like playing music or videos)? If yes then you need to adjust the audio settings for your calling program (skype or whatever). Launch the appropriate program Click on Tools and ' test audio properties' on the program tool-bar. Follow the instructions on the screen.
3. Try plugging in headphones and see if you can hear better on them.

Using a microphone with computer

To use any microphone with your computer you will need to enable it in control panel. The following instructions are for Windows XP but are broadly similar for Vista and Win7

Click START, CONTROL PANEL, SOUNDS & AUDIO DEVICES

Click VOICE

In the Sounds & Audio Devices Properties window locate the SOUND PLAYBACK box and click the VOLUME button. Make sure that there is not a tick (check-mark) in the MUTE box against microphone in the list of devices and that the volume slider is at the top of the scale.

Also make sure that the MUTE ALL box isn't checked before closing the window.

Now click the VOLUME button in the SOUND RECORDING BOX. Here you need to SELECT microphone as an input source for recording (as opposed to un-checking mute in the playback controls).

NOTE if microphone is not listed in the 2 sets of volume controls click OPTIONS, PROPERTIES on the tool-bar and place a check against microphone in the list entitled 'show the following volume controls' and then click OK.

That should be it.

it depends on the model of your mp3 if it has a side volume controller then it may have speaker problem but if it did not have side controller then increase the volume from the volume setting of player

First check you dont have a red line through your speaker on your toolbar. If so click it and "UN-mute it.


If using external speakers then check that the speakers are plugged into the GREEN port on the laptop and that the speakers are powered up with the volume at about 1/2 way.

Open volume control.

When the box with all the sliders opens up click on OPTIONS (top left)
Click PROERTIES

Make sure that Volume controls, Wave, SW Synth, CD PLayer, Line IN, and MIC all show on there and that the volume sliders are about half way up.

Make sure noe of the sliders have ticks at the bottom, if so UNTICK them.

If any of those are missing click options then properties from the top left and put a tick besides any that were missing (nothing else unles you know you want that item)

Now close the slider box.

Put a normal music cd in your cd/dvd player on the computer and set it to play with windows media player.

You should now have sound out of the speakers.

If not double check that you have no problems with your hardware from the device manager.

You tube might use a different method to control volume. Check your media player's volume setting. If that doesn't solve the issue, right-click on the speaker icon in the system tray to bring up the volume control, then see if any of the volume is at the minimum level.

Also, if you can give more detail about the type of computer, make, model, etc. I can help you further.

Hi,
Your battery might be going out. If you are sure that your battery is OK, then go to iTunes and make sure that you can see your iTunes library.

1. Go to the menu bar and click on Edit. Then click on Select all. All of your music will be selected and turn blue.
2. Right Click anywhere in the music library.
   
3. You will get a message that asks if you want to edit all of your music library. You will click 'Yes'.
4. A new window will open. There will be 4 tabs. Pick the one that says Options. There you will see a slider to adjust the volume in all of your music. The slider will be set in the middle. You can slide it to the right to about 80-90.
   
5. Close your window. iTunes will begin changing the volume on all of your music.
6. When it is finished, plug in your iPod and see how much different it sounds. Turn down the volumn on your iPod until you can readjust it.
   

Hope that helps.

In whatever player you are using for video with audio on the Internet check the player controls that mute is not selected or the volume is not turned down. These players will work audio independently of the volume properties sliders.

If this approach is not consistent with your problem you may need to repair your audio codecs on your machine a good program to install that will add-in codecs and repair any broken codes is K-Lite. You can get it from this location. Select a download mirror and then allow or start the download. Once you have downloaded it install it and let all the default settings ride.

Let me know how this works out for you.

Hello richmonaghan,

If all of your usual volume control settings haven't worked, try this:
Control Panel>sounds and audio devices>Device volume(if that's at high already then)>Speaker Volume>move the slider to high. If its already at high, then try reinstalling the audio drivers from here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1673437099.1216834562@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdadeejkdifeecgfkceghdgngdgnj.0&ModelDLOS=null&ModelDLCat=Sound%7C105517&BV_SessionID=@@@@1673437099.1216834562@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdadeejkdifeecgfkceghdgngdgnj.0&ListType=All&ct=DL&moid=&rpn=&OrderBy=D&PublicStartIndex=0&PrivateStartIndex=0&PublicCutOff=&PrivateCutOff=&AddOldPublicItems=false&AddOldPrivateItems=undefined&all_docs=false&x=45&y=14

Deleting the current driver first is best also.

I guess this is a common problem huh. No worries!

First: Click on your music button and play a song as you would normally do on your phone (make sure your speaker is on during this point).

Second: Click on the speaker button so you can listen to your music through your ear piece (as your music is still playing). If you don't hear your music through your ear piece wait until you hear it. It shouldn't take more than a minute. (Your music should be playing throughout this whole process)

Follow these steps every time you come across this problem.

If this solution resolved your problem, please leave a comment and a good rate. Thank you!
