🔊 No Sound (iPhone & iPad Fix Guide)

✅ What this fixes

  • You press keys, but hear no sound
  • Notes light up, but audio is silent
  • Sound is coming from the wrong device
  • Sound cuts in and out

Time: 2–10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

🚨 Start Here (Important)

Press a key.

👉 Do notes light up in Piano Marvel?

🔍 Step 1 — Check Volume and Silent Mode

  • Turn up your device volume
  • Make sure your device is not muted
  • If using an iPhone with a silent switch → turn silent mode OFF
  • Turn up the volume in Piano Marvel's Mixer (Lower right corner of any lesson)

⚠️ Common mistake:

  • Volume is up, but device is still muted

👉 Test again.

  • Working? → Done
  • Still no sound? → Continue

🎧 Step 2 — Check Where Audio Is Going

iOS may be sending sound somewhere else.

Open Control Center:

  • Swipe down from top-right (or up from bottom on older devices)

Check audio output:

  • Tap the audio panel
  • See where sound is routed

👉 Make sure it’s going to:

  • iPhone/iPad speakers
  • OR your intended headphones

⚠️ Common issues:

  • Connected to Bluetooth headphones you’re not using
  • Output stuck on AirPlay / external device

👉 Test again.

  • Working? → Done
  • Still no sound? → Continue

📶 Step 3 — Bluetooth Issues

Bluetooth is a frequent cause of silent or delayed audio.

Try this:

  • Turn Bluetooth OFF
  • Test using device speakers

If using Bluetooth intentionally:

  • Disconnect and reconnect
  • Ensure device is selected as audio output

⚠️ Common issues:

  • Connected but not active
  • Audio routed incorrectly
  • Delay (latency) causing confusion

👉 Test again.

🔄 Step 4 — Restart the App

  • Close Piano Marvel completely
  • Reopen the app

👉 Test again.

🔄 Step 5 — Restart Your Device

  • Power off your iPhone/iPad
  • Turn it back on
  • Open Piano Marvel

👉 Test again

🎹 Step 6 — Check Piano Marvel Sound Settings

If using a MIDI keyboard:

  • Make sure Piano Marvel’s virtual piano sound is enabled
  • Some MIDI keyboards do NOT produce sound on their own

⚠️ Common issue:

  • User expects keyboard to make sound, but app sound is disabled

👉 Test again.

🧪 Step 7 — Test Other Audio

Play something else:

  • YouTube video
  • Music app

Results:

  • No sound anywhere → Device audio issue
  • Sound works elsewhere but not in Piano Marvel → Continue

🔌 Step 8 — Check External Devices

If using:

  • Audio interface
  • Wired headphones
  • Adapters

Try:

  • Disconnect everything
  • Test using device speakers

⚠️ Common issue:

  • Faulty adapter or cable

👉 Test again

🧩 Edge Cases

App audio conflicts

  • Close other apps using audio

🎯 If You’re Still Stuck
