Press the BlackBerry button when you're in the music player.
Go to Activate handset.
That should allow you to play your music from the BlackBerry's speakers.

Hi

If the ringtone files were downloaded to your phone, then information regarding their format (file type) would've helped. However, if this is the case, it is possible that the file format is not supported by the Blackberry 9700.

You can goto your music library, highlight the file you want as your ringtone and then press then MENU button followed by selecting PROPERTIES. This would provide you with information regarding the type of the file.

As for your solution, you may have to either restart your phone (Shift+Alt+Del) OR if you're using a SD Card, hook it up to your PC, verify you still have music files on your phone and then disconnect when there are no read/write processes occuring.

describe the exact situation being faced

if the speaker sound raffled or you are totally not hearing anything the speaker may shifted and you may need to pull the phone apart and put it back in place and ensure that it is tightened, as in screwed down tightly
