strange sound problem in HTC touch2 - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I am having some problem with changing ringtones/ playing mp3 songs in my htc touch2 t3333(spl edition).
Till yesterday it was working fine. today morning when i got a call the ringtone changed to some default tone. i tried to change the ringtone in settings/notifications and sounds. every time i try to to change the ringtone, the phone seems to work on it and goes back to default tone. i tried playing different tones from the dropdown menu and it doesnt play. and also when i close the notifications and sounds tab it doesn't close.
i tried playing mp3 files from storage card and nothing seems to happen. i can only play video files from tcp player(i can hear the audio). other than than i am not able to play any audio. and i cannot open the default windows player.
its rather strange that none of the audio files seems to play either in phone or storage.
any advice is appreciated.
thanks

.mp3 Ringtones are not working

All of a sudden none of my .mp3 ringtones will not work on my phone. When I set an .mp3 and test it nothing happens or if the phone rings nothing happens. Then when I exit out of the ringtone application I can see it change back to a .wma. All other ringtone formats work.
I tried changing the registry key Hkey_Current _user Control Panel Sounds Ringtone(0) but it changes back to the .wma ringtone? Any suggestions?

Hi,
Did you install a third-party mediaplayer ? AFAIK WM only plays ringtones that are regged to WMP... and if you set another app to play MP3 by default, WMP doesn't know that filetype anymore.

I never thought of that. I did load Win Vibe so I uninstalled it and rebooted the phone, however, I still have the same problem. Is there anything else that I need to change in the registry or elsewhere relating to that? Also, what does AFAIK stand for?
afaik = as far as i know

[Q] Sound Enhancement in Music player

Hi Guys,
I am having a little issue with my sensation and I want to see if it happens to you as well.
When playing music with the stock HTC player, you have the option to chose sound enhancement, which actually works really well.
My problem is that every time I start listening to music, I need to go and apply the sound enhancement settings, the phone does not remember my preferences.
Does it happens to you too?
Yes. Probably a bug.

[Q] Ringtone's not playing right

I don't guess anyone has had this problem but me. I'm running Eaglesblood 2.3.7. I've checked the settings for sound and the preferences in google voice and the cyanogenmod settings and can't figure this out.
When my phone rings it never rings with my selected ringtone. It rings with a ringtone I used to use months ago. And when I miss a call, the phone plays an mp3 of a song I have that I have probably only listened to once. And it plays that song to completion unless I mute the volume, and steals the audio focus so if I'm playing some other video when it happens, I can't hear the audio until the song finishes playing.
I tried clearing data on the dialer app, which causes the app to flash and then play the missed call song. I delete the two offending songs and the phone seems to be trying to play them because now I have no ringtone at all. All I can do is use talking caller id from the app market.
Anyone ever heard of this?

System/Music volume is stuffed in ICS stock ROM

Hi all,
Recently updated to official ICS. I like to listen to music on my HTC, and I found a major glitch. Whenever you are playing music (with the stock player), and there is another system sound (ie SMS notification), the entire media volume of the phone dies.
For example, I am listening to music and I receive a SMS. I hear the SMS and the music stops playing. I check the music app and the slider is still moving but there is no sound. After that point there is NO media volume at all! I start a game. No sound. I start a video. No sound. Youtube. No sound. Only way to fix this is restart the phone.
If I'm listening to music and I wanna play a game. I start the game and the game has its own sound. The music stops playing and the game sounds are also now gone. Only way to get any sound back is to restart.
Basically whats happening is if there ANY other non-music sound, it ends up killing the phone's Media volume. Only way to fix is restart.
Anyone else have this problem?
Running stock ICS 4.0.3 Vodafone Australia ROM.
Sounds like a fluke - cause this doesn't really happen to anyone else. Since you're stock, the way to fix most issues is to wipe your data and start from scratch. Most people who have random issues like this do that and it clears up.
Not its not a fluke. I can reproduce it even after a factory reset. It only happens with stock player not another player I downloaded from Play.
Maybe its a problem with the Vodafone ROM.

If you can reproduce the issue with a factory reset then perhaps you could try flashing your RUU and see if the issue persists. I do know that what you're describing is NOT a wide spread problem, and that means it's either isolated to your device or to VODA's build...

I meant fluke as in only happening to you, not only happening once.
Try Grogg's advice. Hell, flash his rom, music player works great in it.
Similar issue here
I'd just like to say I have a similar issue with mine. If i am listening to music and receive an SMS or email notification then the music volume increases to match that of the notification. Pressing either volume up or down then changes it one step from the original volume.
I also have another issue with the default music player. If I am listening to music at work, press pause then remove the headphones (when leaving my desk for a short while) after plugging headphones back in when I press play the sound quality is often seriously distorted. Pressing pause then play again always seems to sort this out...
I've noticed 3 or 4 little bugs with the latest (UK) release on my phone, I keep expecting another update to sort them out but so far nothing...

Not playing the right notification sound

I've set my own notification sound. It usually plays when I get an email or WhatsApp message. Recently I get a short beep instead. I can see that the sound it set properly; both in settings and being picked up correctly by those apps, and my sound plays as I'm setting it so it's available to the system, but it's still playing the beep. I've had this phone a month or so and it's been fine until now. This sort of thing has happened on other phones - just one of those Android things. Usually though it can be cleared up by setting the sound again in settings, or in the apps themselves. But this time it's refusing to play ball! I rebooted my phone. I'm not prepared to factory reset it. Anything else I can try?

Is it all the custom notifications that it's not playing or 1 or 2? I recently made a sound file that wouldn't play as a mp3. I made it into a WAV file and it worked. Not sure if that will help you.

It's just one. It plays fine at the point when i'm setting it as default, but the apps choose to play some other sound. I fixed this problem by going into each app, selecting another sound, save, exit, then setting it back to the sound I wanted. But I shouldn't have to do this (and usually I don't).
