Does anyone know if there had been a solution to fixing this problem that so many people have had? I have no sound on watch, just vibrations. I have tried reset, power off, haptics and sounds. But nothing seems to work. Is this a defect with the Applecwatch 5 series since so many people have had this problem?
Apple Watch Series 5
Checked all that already and it’s not the problem. I also checked sounds and haptics, powered on and off, and did a reboot.. none of those worked. It vibrates but still no sound. Any other suggestions I could try?
Yes.
Go into the Watch app on your phone.
Then into Notifications.
This might be time consuming but you should check each individual app in here.
I'll give you a few examples, you might need to check all that are important to you.
Activity - Allow Notifications
Mail - Mirror my iPhone
Messages - Mirror my iPhone
Phone - Mirror my iPhone
Then in the next category
"Mirror iPhone Alerts From:"
Run down the list and toggle those on or off (your preference).
Next check get out of there and go into Sounds & Haptics.
At the top of that screen there is a slider for the Alert Volume. Is it slid towards the right? Mine is sitting in the middle.
Under that slider, there is a toggle for Silent Mode. It should be off (not green).
Next, let's go into your phone settings.
Open Settings (gear icon), go into Bluetooth.
I assume that your Bluetooth is on (green slider).
Look at the list of things showing in "My Devices"
Is there anything in that list that shows "Connected"? Your watch should be, yes. It's there anything else in the list that is currently connected that could be stealing your notifications?
Let me ask you this, can you answer calls from your Watch? Can you hear the caller? If so, I'm going to guess the speaker is ok (unless there is more than one speaker, doh!)
Hi Bob 👋
I doubt that it would survive a reset but have you checked in the control center of the watch to make sure that things aren't shut off in there?
You can swipe upwards at the bottom of your screen to access the control center.
Inside there you will see a half moon, two theater masks, and a bell.
Ideally, all that should be light up (highlighted) is the cellular and/or Wi-Fi, everything else should be darker.
Can you check those for me?
No Sound on Apple Watch 5
