I been getting that alot with mine, It would keep saying media error on the screen. So I took the battery out and rebooted and the sound comes back lol.

If I were you I would download the latest officially released OS 5 version of the blackberry software. It works like a champ and there is no reason to still be trying to use a 4.7 version of the OS.

Hi guys,
i’m having the same problems with my storm with versions 4.7.0.173 and 4.7.0.181 where there are no sound alerts for sms and emails. I’ve discovered that this problem only exists when I have a theme installed. When I delete all third party themes and use the original zen theme, sound notifications work perfectly… I think i’d rather downgrade to a much earlier OS that enabled me to use other themes because I really find the original one incredibly boring!

I have had all issues you guys have had. I found that when the restoration came, it flaked out my BB. I finally said screw it and did not do a backup. I started fresh. No external applications loaded. I did that on my own later. Bingo…without have a ‘corrupted’ backup restored to my phone it works like a well oiled machine. If you’re having problems, give it a go. Just make sure you back up your contacts.

I have been experiencing the same issue since adding version .167. But mine extends beyond just SMS. Anytime someone calls there is no sound, anytime someone sends an SMS, MMS, email or BBM, I get no notification (sound or vibration) other than the visual image on the screen. Has anyone gotten back to you with a fix?

I have tried to follow the links to download the firmware update for my Storm 9500 but it doesn’t exist. Does anyone have an alternate file location?

After I installed 4.7.0.173 into my storm I have some trouble … one of them is that my storm doesn’t produce any sound when I get SMS. I’ve tried to set the ring tone again but it’s just doesn’t work…. any comment ?
