Highly doubt it, but I'll have 'em check.

Could he try just turning the volume up with the side buttons? I have found
that those system sounds can be effected by that volume control if you adjust
it when the speech is silent.

OK, perhaps one a you all can shed some light on this, as I'm totally at my
witt's end. I must say, though I normally don't get this way, I'm! for once,
perplexed! My friend clames he is having a really strange problem with his
IPod touch 4th Gen 64GB. I had this happen once to me to, and god for the life
of me! don't remember to save thw world! what I did to fix it. Apparently, he
clames his voiceover sounds are gone. Yeah, he's on IOS 4.3.2. but does that
matter really? When it happened to me, I think I was actually on 3.2, or such.
It wasn't v 4, I know that. It wasn't even on my 4th gen I think that was
back when I had a 3GS 32GB. He can hear speech just fine. It's not like he
muted speech. If it was that easy, I'd a just had 'em do a 3 finger double
tap. That won't work though with this. It's not his voice that isn't working,
it's actually the physical navigational sounds in Voiceover that don't work.
You know... if he had an IPhone, I'd tell him to check if the phone had somehow
gotten the silencer switch set wrong. Or if it was an IPad, I'd had told him
to see if mute was on either from the side switch or whatever. But again,
those options hardware speaking aren't there being he has a Touch 4th Gen. I
dono even the last thing he did before it happened. He doesn't recall either.
I know the time it did it for me, I put my unit on a really el cheapo dock that
really didn't work that great. For one thing, it didn't even support charging.
I think it was some sort of a Sharper Image stereo with a dock built in. Ever
sinse I got my IHome though, I've never once had that issue, and frankly when
it did happen it was a royal fluke, and nothing I did fixed it. I don't even
think hitting home+sleep did anything. even rapidly quintupplely pressing the
sleep button to just refresh the springboard didn't work. His IPod's not jail
broken, and never ever has even came close to being, even from a remote
distance of fact. So yeah. We're both just pulling our hairout! over here
trying to figure out what in the world on earth he did. I suppose I could have
'em restore it, and then once done restore from his last ITunes backup, but
isn't that somewhat extreme? I think I had to do this to fix mine when it
happened that one time, but come on! first me, now him. Surely! thus, this is
sort of a kind of, ish, known issue.
Any ideas. Man? I'm! out of options! I'm stmped and have absolutely no
clue. this is totally wakkid! Very, very! bazaar!
Chris.
