turn on the volume 'blips' when changing volume

[ashjamben]

i noticed that when i change the volume with the f11 and f12 keys i used to get little blips, but now theyve gone. i think i turned them off somewhere, but i want them back again, but i cant remember where i did it

anyone any ideas? i checked the 'sound' options in system pref but im blind if its there

You were right ... and blind.

It is done in the sound fx tab of sound in System Preferences. Check the "Play feedback volume" box

you are entirely right, and thanks for the quick reply, but it doesn't make any difference. it's currently ticked and i hear nothing.

any ideas?

Do you have something plugged into the headphone jack?

 

[ashjamben]

nope, i'm currently playing my music from itunes on my internal speakers fine. thanks for the help and quick replies.

Uncheck the box, then check it again ... any change?

 

[ashjamben]

ye, tried all that. tried plugging in headphones plugging out aswell.

only thing i havn't tried is a restart, which i'll do soon.

thanks for the help

Restart was my next suggestion.

ye, restart managed to sort it out. how bizarre though?

thanks for the help r.j.s

These things happen, and a restart is healthy every once in a while. Worry if it becomes common.
