Ringtones not playing

Just earlier I noticed that my ringtones don't play. It wasn't vibrating aswell unless it was on the vibrate mode.
Now it seems to vibrate aswell normally.
But i'm still left with the problem where on an incoming call the ringtone doesn't play.
In "sounds and notifications" on the incoming call option when I press play nothing happens with whichever ringtone I select. However on other alerts its fine.
[EDIT] I've just realised that I can't chaange any option in Sounds and Notifications. Even when I press the OK button it loads but it doesn't close and no alerts or any notification changes. However I've tested some notifications just to see if the play button actually plays the tone that is selected and it does play but on incoming call alert I can't get anything to play. Either way whatever I change in SOUNDS AND NOTIFICATIONS I can't save it and I cant close it.
Very wierd....Any ideas..?
AND YES...I've soft reseted and tried.
AND NO.....I am not willing to reflash as Ive just got it setup the way I want and installed everything nicely and want to leave it the way it is..

Question: Did you install any other media play which might have re-assoicated the wav or audio defaults. This will cause the rings not to work.

Double post sorry

Try this cab file it may work, if not you may need to hard reset that is the only way, you can always do a back up first.

Question on Profiles/system volume/radio

Hi, I've not had my HD for long but have managed to set it up alright.
I do however have a question on how to manage profiles and system/ring volumes etc.
What I want is really just to have two modes: Normal, where all sounds/notifications play normally, and silent mode, where the phone just vibrates when anything happens.
So normal mode seems fine, but I'm trying to customise the settings of the silent/vibrate mode so that whenever anything happens on the actual phone, it will just vibrate, but when I want to listen to the radio or anything through the earphones, it will keep playing.
When I select "vibrate mode" it turns all volumes to zero, but then I cannot hear anything through the radio! So in Advanced I changed it to never play any sounds, and then turned system volume to 100%, but there is no option to then save it anywhere, as then when I click on Normal and then Vibrate again, the system volume is back at 0%.
Basically, I want to set it so that I can have the phone be silent alerts/calls wise, but still let me listen to the radio/MP3s through the headphones, and to have a profile set up where I can select that! That shouldn't be too difficult surely! But "normal" is the only one which will let you keep System Volume at anything other than 0%
Please help? thanks!

I have the same problem! Can someone help. please?

Silent Ringtone Selected

My Phone seems to have itself stuck with the Ringtone on silent. Every setting says its up. Audio Manager has all the volumes up. Message tones work and so do system / media and alerts. But the ringtone will not make a noise..
When I press the volume up button on the home screen.. it comes up with Silent Ringtone Selected..... Is there any way to get rid of this?
Thanks in advance

Solved....
Just Wipe data + cache
reload ROM and restore all apps back from default and bingo...
I know this may seem over kill but it works and I really need my ringtone on the phone (wife due to go into labour any day soon)
Thanks

Silent Ringtone
I'm actually having this same problem, and it's 2 years later. I believe that I have found the solution though.
I'll start out by saying I got my Droid Pro about a week ago.
I downloaded the "Voice Recorder" app by Mamoru Tokashiki.
I would record audio for ringtones (generally song snippets because I'm too lazy, or stupid, or I like to make more work for myself than downloading the actual ringtones). I would retitled the files (.3gp) and hit "Set as Ringtone." Then if I toggled my volume rocker it would say Silent Ringtone Selected.
I came to these forums and immediately knew that I didn't want to root my phone or do anything like that. So a lot of people suggested it was the software. I ditched the software and downloaded "Tape-a-talk" by Markus Drosser. It records in both .3gp and .wav. I use the .wavs because they sound so much better.
It worked for me once, but then I started getting the same message. It couldn't have been a problem with the software because I ran two different apps. It's something with the way that the android system saves the files.
I tinkered around with a process that is working for me now (it involves a lot of turning on and off which is annoying, so get prepared).
1. Open recording app (I use tape-a-talk) and record your audio. It shouldn't matter the duration (I thought I was getting the silent ringtone error because my files were too long, but that's not the case).
2. Immediately set the recording (labeled with some generic date like 03-19-2012.wav) as your ringtone. Toggle the volume rocker to check if you get the silent ringtone selected. (If you do, then try re-recording as .3gp. If that still doesn't work then this process probably won't work because something else major is wrong with your phone).
3. Turn off the phone.
4. Power back up (30s downtime).
5. Open up Settings>Sounds>Phone Ringtone. If 03-19-2012 is set as your ringtone then you should be pretty okay. Go back to the home page and toggle the volume rocker again to double check.
6. Turn off the phone then power it back up.
7. Go back into your recording app and find the generic file, rename it to what you want.
8. Set the newly titled .wav or .3gp as your ringtone.
9. Toggle the rocker to make sure it saved properly.
10. If it did, then turn your phone off. Turn the phone back on and open Settings>Sounds>Phone Ringtone.
If everything worked it should have your ringtone set and saved with the new file name.
Then you're free to enjoy.
That process works for me.
Some people may still claim it is the software, but in my experience it is a matter of how your phone ends up saving the recorded files.
This information is useless if you're talking about downloading a ringtone, btw.
Hope this helps anyone in the future.

solution
i had the same problem so i searched in every option from settings
so here are the steps...
settings -> sound -> ringtone -> phone ringtone
when you open the "phone ringtone" you will see that your phone is set on "silent". well all you have to do is to choose another ringtone from that list, or, if you want a song from your music player you just set a random ringtone from the list and then go in "music" and set as ringtone your favourite song.
hope it helped ^_^

Notification sound questions

Is there a separate setting where I can turn only the notification to vibrate while leaving the phone ringtone on? I receive emails at middle of the night and it always wakes me up. At the same time, I do want incoming calls to wake me up.
Another issue. when I previously switched the phone from vibrate to sound in the notification drawer, it would make a beep noise. But today it doesn't make that sound anymore. Did i disable something somewhere?

Get Silent Time Lite on the market. Allows you to set times to quiet the phone but allow exceptions for the phone. So you can set it to ring for only contacts you highlight.
No idea about your second issue.

Settings > Sounds > Volume > System.
Maybe you put the system sounds volume down?? Hope this helps

I have put the system volume all the way up. The sound came back the day before, and I cannot get it to play again last night after I turned it from vibrate to ring.

Mine did that for a little while too. Fixed itself eventually.

Randomly Increasing Audio Volume

I don't know why this is, but it's frustrating beyond explanation: Every once in a while the volume of my device changes. This is not an "official" change, as I always have this thing at the lowest volume possible, but every once in a while after a reboot or just out of nowhere, that lowest volume most definitely becomes louder. I'm accustomed to a low volume, so for my notification and ringtone to suddenly be louder always startles the hell out of me.
I cannot figure out why this is, and I realize the number of things that could be causing this is dependent on what apps I have which are far too numerous to list, so I'm hoping someone else has had this problem and knows the solution.
Thank you all in advance

Cm12 has a setting in sounds and notification that gradually increases volume over time. If you're on sense there is a setting that increases the volume if the phone is in your pocket or turned face down.

Unfortunately this isn't it - I have "Pocket mode" and "Quiet ring on pickup" both unchecked (unrooted, stock). I also thought it might be somehow tied to Media volume, as the app I notice this primarily in is Google Hangouts (that's about the only sound-notification I get outside phone calls), but that's at a vol of 1 along with everything else.

I have no idea then. I had volume issue with hangouts in particular in the past but it was from the volume being to quiet. Maybe try a different ringtone for it. I'm not sure what else to suggest.
