I am probably missing something in the many seetings menus, but the phone sounds and notifications only come through the bluetooth earpiece when the bluetooth is on, not the phone speaker.
Is there a way to have the phone speaker ring (or provide text alerts and such) while the bluetooth is enabled?
Thanks.
Try going into cyanogen mod settings-sound and at the bottom there are three lists and above them it says "play sounds always through speaker " I believe that's what you need

I did try that.
At the top of that section, it says that "the headings below apply only when headphones are used".
So, no sound yet through the speaker while using bluetooth.
Edit: Hmm, this must be one of those things that has a mind of its own. I am getting speaker sounds now.
How many of these settings get lost or change during a re-boot or power off with an SD card based system? Is there a way to save settings?

My MyTouch 1.2 is acting really frustratingly stupid. The speaker and mic aren't working right, and the closest solution (and explanation) I could find for this was a post I found on a T-Mobile forum:
A few weeks back I tried to make a call on my phone and I wanted to use the speaker, when I brought up the menu to select "speaker", I noticed that the option was greyed out and so I couldn't enable it. After that I looked at the screen and it said it was dialing, but I heard no sound coming out. Next I clicked the volume control all the way down to mute and then all the way to max volume, still no sound. After ending the call I double-checked to make sure I wasn't connected to any bluetooth device, bluetooth was disabled. So then I tried to change the ringer volume and the speaker emitted its beeps letting me know how loud the ring volume was. That told me the speakers worked as well as the hardware responsible for generating sound. My next idea was to see if the media player had sound, so I played an mp3 from my sd card, no sound, went to youtube and played a few different videos, no sound. Called my friend, who was standing next to me, and when he answered he said he couldn't hear me speaking, I couldn't hear him either.
Something was seriously wrong with my phone so I bit the bullet and reset it to factory settings, the problem persisted. I took the phone to a TMobile store and they got me a replacement phone. The phone was working for 3 days and then the same problem occured. I got another phone (my 3rd phone) and this morning it has stopped working in the exact same way. I don't do any hacks or developer apps. There is no pattern to this except that it always seems like I'm at work when it happens.
UPDATE WITH SOLUTION: After thinking about this issue it occurred to me that the phone was behaving as if it had a bluetooth device connected to it. As an experiment, I went to my car which is paired with my phone and selected the audio source as my phone. At first it couldn't connect to my phone. So I looked at my phone's bluetooth setting and the status for my car's connection was "paired and not connected". I selected the connection on phone and retried with my car and bam, audio now works. I disconnected the phone from the bluetooth and sound was restored! So mytouch 3g has a bug in their bluetooth services. TMobile/HTC, hit me up if you are looking for a top-notch developer to fix your defects.

Unfortunately, this solution didn't work for me, and I've tried pairing it with every device I could possibly pair it with. No dice. Anyone have a fix for this?

Try installing audio manager from market and turn up system volume,... not sure where to find the system volume in phone settings but audio manager is good.

Sorted the problem thanx,still weird how the system volume whent low.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
How'd you fix it?
(never mind) ... Why was it low in the first place?
Mine does this toodame happens to lock/unlock sound. I think it routes the sound to the call speaker instead of the rear speaker
Now that you mention it, I have the same. All my volume settings are set to Full and in sound options, I have selected to have sounds fr dial pad and for touch screen and for lock/unlock. I don't think they are redirected to call speaker because I don't hear sound there either.
Anyone found a solution without installing 3rd party app?
Ok, looked deeper into it and discovered that actually the only solution is the audio manager. It seems to be a must have as Android misses critical volume settings on its interface. That application is the only way to allow you to adjust the volume.
That's no excuse for HTC, Google or whoever is responsible for the Android OS or DHD. (really, who is responsible? I never thought that)
Going to give it a try myself as well.
Chefs, is there something that can be done on your end?
I use Sound Manager for this issue...happened to me twice already...
Other applications are responsible for this.
I too had faced this problem and suddenly the tones of dial pad were gone on my htc desire, it was only vibrating. The settings of Sound were all fine, still no tone. So being a tester I am, I backtracked and remembered what all I did.
It turned out when we install applications in Android we give them access to core functionalities of system. I had used Fring application prior in the day, where I had used Fring's Dialer pad. I logged into fring again went to dialer pad, increased volume and indicator said "Volume" unlike any other indicator of volume in HTC Desire. After increasing the volume, I logged out and went to phone dialer again, and tones were back. So our applications are responsible for turning down volume. A centralized application which controls all application can come in handy and there are few in android market available.
Hope this helped
I have deleted some apps from my phone following this problem but seemed to make no difference... today however the volume on dialer has returned to normal??? But also the noises on the qwerty pad now sound like an old fashioned typewriter??? My 4 yr old was messing with phone earlier but checked settings I can think of and nothing has changed... confused!
yea i got the same problem tried emailing HTC they dont know anything about it they just replied with
Kindly go to Menu>settings>sounds>check:
audible touch screen
audible selections
screen lock sounds
:/
thanx for XDA or i would've never sort it out
Since flashing 7.1 my sound goes in/out. Sometimes it's all audio, or sometimes just certain things. Right now I get audio in apps and when changing the ring tone volume, but when selecting a ring tone or notification tone, I don't hear anything. Sometimes the dialing noise works, sometimes it's doesn't. Rebooting and/or change my profile doesn't help. I tried changing the overrides in the profile settings and that didn't do anything either.
Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
So this only started happened after you flashed CM7? I had a somewhat similar problem because I replaced the back assembly on my phone and replaced the speaker in the process as the old was blown. Apparently, a screw had attached itself to the speaker and was keeping it from seating correct and causing audio to go in it out. In point, it could be a hardware problem and something is wrong with your speaker. Does head phones work, or the actual ear piece?
The speaker works because my phone rings when someone calls me, but sometimes the notification sound doesn't work when I get a text message. At this moment I still can't hear ring tones when I select them in the Sound settings, but it works when I get an incoming call. I know the speaker works fine. Phone calls work normally and if I play a Youtube video I get normal audio (but that didn't work this morning). It definitely seems like a software issue.
My phone was on unrooted Sense before 7.1 so that's all I have to compare it to, but everything worked fine then.
I found out if I switch from Default to Home profile, everything works again, but I can't figure out what in the Default profile is stopping the noise. I've checked everything 10x over.
wow i am currently having the exact same issue
Sound isn't working again. I only have one profile and yesterday I was getting sound with SMS, now I just get vibration. This is really frustrating. Anyone know what to do?
I really wish all the sounds/notifications were set in one place, instead of in the app, in the sound options, AND in the profiles. It's really confusing.
I think it's linked to bluetooth. If I use my headset for a call then turn off bluetooth, there is no audio on the phone (either speaker) until I reboot.
This has been a flaw in android since day one. You can't get actual notification sounds over BT. It is rumored to be running in 4.2. Is there truth to this? I'm still waiting for them to be available to get mine... but curious still.
just tested this and it is working for notifications. Although if it is a short notification sound, and it plays only once, it will not come through due to a slight delay between the phone and bluetooth device (but I can hear the headset turning on as if to play something and then turns back off). Works fine for longer notifications.
I get notification sounds over bluetooth when its connected in my car, always have even with ics.
I get notification over my Bluetooth headphones. No problem here.
Tho notification tend to stop my power amp player for some odd reason....

This happens to me too. I thought it was just a bug on the ROM, but may be the app.
No ringtones thru Bluetooth Headsets

This is true you can hear notifications if they are long enough although the first second gets cut off due to lag i think...... but this is not the issue we were discussing on the google forum. CANT POST LINK SORRY............
The issue was that we cant hear our custom ringtones thru Bluetooth. I have the Galaxy Note and a Motorola HX550 and i can get all voice commands, and even hear notifications, and hear it read my text messages to me, but i cant tell whos calling when my phone is in my pocket on vibrate. I want to hear custom ringtones thru my bluetooth so i can tell whos calling. And i believe the same issue is with car bluetooth from what i read in the forum on google this forum started in 2009 about this no ringtone thru bluetooth, and there are still no fixes or apps that can let us decide what sounds go where.
For example it would be nice to have an app with check boxes available to make ringtones go to bluetooth, and notifications be muted, music go thru headfone jack, etc... This is a long time comming just read the forum and look at the start date 2009..... 4 years and noone fixed this issue.
XDA please help us even if its just a quick someting to get the ringtone to go thru bluetooth.... PLEASE someone!!! :crying:
That link you mentioned you can't post is the one in my sig.
Yeah posted that back in 09.... Recently some one official took "owner ship" of the thread and said it was fixed. However it isn't. Flip phones that existed before the smart phone era were able to play custom bluetooth sounds. Yet the most advanced phone to date can't.....
Hey guys, I've a little problem with my tablet right now: it acts like a headphone was connected through the jack. I mean, I have no sound (except the notifications ones) coming through the speaker, and when I - reboot and- raise the volume up, a notification pops up and tell me not to keep listening the sound too loud for a long time (don't know exactly what is written, but it's the message that pops when you're using headphones).
So, I don't know if it is a hardware or a software problem, the speaker seems to function because I got a sound when I receive a notification.
I have just upgraded to Kitkat, and it doesn't change anything.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.

in the notification it will ask "Ok" or "Cancel" right? Click Ok. you can increase sound to maximum.
It is just a warning message set by the stock Acoustic Warning app.
