Help Touch and lock sounds not working?

[badandy0014]

I'm aware that there is a volume issue in general but my phone seems loud enough for me as far as ringtones, music, etc. but I have absolutely NO sound when it comes to the touch sounds. I don't hear a lock/unlock sound, no sounds when I type, and no sounds when I click on anything. I battery pulled, unselected and reselected the options, maxed out all volumes, reset the phone and did everything over again.

I even took it back to Verizon and got it swapped, but the one they gave me acts the same exact way. I felt like I was going crazy and the sales guy didn't seem too thrilled about it, so I walked over to the display unit and the lock/unlock sound DID work (although VERY low). It didn't have any other sounds working though so it didn't help my case much. Another rep had a nexus and I checked the sound on his. Same story with his and the display unit.

The thing that drives me mad is my friend who also got the Nexus sent me a video of all his sounds working and they were actually audible to what I'd expect to find in any Android phone, so this drives me even more nuts because I KNOW it should be working properly.

So bottom line is this, anyone else experiencing this problem or have suggestions? I've been trying anything possible but nothing has helped.

P.S. - I don't care how mundane this detail is, I have grown accustomed to it and want it, so please don't attack my personal tastes just because you may not care about this certain feature.

I am having the problem. For me I saw 3 units in Verizon store, all three didn't have any touch or lock/unlock sound. I thought all of them was having this problem and was waiting for software update.

Now I might go check out a different store and see how they are.

On mine, they're there but just REALLY soft. Try Volume+ app in the market and see if that works for you. There's also Settings>Sound>Touch Sounds/Screen Lock Sound. Make sure those are enabled on your phone.

Hey,

I was doing some research on google and found this solution.

Download Audio Manager from Market. Once you open this app there should be System Volume. For some reason my System volume was set to 1 and since the volume was too soft, I couldn't hear the Touch or Lock/Unlock sound.

I turn it up all the way to 7 and now I can hear it but only in quiet surroundings.

I will try volume+ to see it the volume will increase.

Well good luck and let me know if you guys find any other solutions.

@golffreaksi Thanks for your suggestion, it worked! Oh man it's so nice to actually hear the sounds now, thanks again!

How loud is the sound for you. Its not that loud for me.

It's somewhat loud in a quiet room, but in Best Buy and In-N-Out I couldn't really hear the sounds at all. I have the free version of Volume+ but I'm not sure it helped much. The typing sounds seem to be louder than the lock/unlock and selection sounds though.
