This is driving me crazy. I still have no sound on my iPad. I have backed up the game on iFunbox and to my Android phone. The sound is fine on the phone. I made sure everybody was home or at work, my house was finished building and nothing was pending. Saved everything. Downloaded it to the phone to be sure I had the updated game on the phone.
Then I reset / deleted the game on the iPad. It asked me if I wanted to start a new game or download a saved game from the cloud. It told me I couldn't download the game until I uploaded it from the other device. So I did that and got my game back on the iPad. But still no sound!!
I don't know what to do. I noticed when I did the iFunbox backup that it downloaded iTunes files. Are there supposed to be iTunes files in the game? Maybe when the road to fame updated, if my iTunes was also updating, it got messed up? Maybe I need to update iTunes? Could the road to fame music be stored there and somehow it has disabled all the game sounds??
If anybody who uses an iPad2 to play has any ideas, I would be greatly appreciative. I have iOS 7.0.3 on it. I just don't know what to do - I have tried everything I can think of...

This may be a bit extreme but have you tried restoring your ipad? I'm not sure it would do anything but you never know.

Have you tried resetting all settings? I have the iPad 4 and occasionally that happens to me.

Re: I don't know what to do - still no sound
What is resetting all settings? I have work stuff on here and other things that have not been backed up because we use PCs at work and I don't know how to back up an iPad to a PC. I did do the iFunbox thing, deleted the game and then restored it. If I reset everything, does it delete all of my iTunes and other apps?

Re: I don't know what to do - still no sound
It doesn't delete your data. Just go to General -- Reset -- Reset all settings. It will not delete your data. Google this option if you want to feel confident doing it. I've done it on occassion when things get screwy.

Re: I don't know what to do - still no sound
I googled it before you answered, but I re-saved everything and am trying it now... thanks!
Update: Nope - nothing
I don't understand what happened. It was fine until the Road to Fame thing started - I got all of my alerts to send everybody to work on Thursday night (I have 3 people with night jobs) and I got all of the alerts that evening crops were done (they make that "shoo-shoo" noise even when the iPad is closed). I set them all up for sleeping or gardening all night as I usually do and went to sleep. When I woke up Friday morning, the goals for the key had just started and the Road to Fame goals were there. But I had no sound.
I got no morning alerts that the 3 had come home from work (visual notification was there, without the audio), or anything else. My teen has been composing up a storm for 3 days and I haven't heard any of it. No response from FM on the ticket I submitted after the first 24 hours. I have no sound at all, although everything else is working. I have sound on the backup on my Android phone, so I checked on that today, just to hear the music and singing Dora is doing. I even tried restoring that version to the iPad, thinking since its sound was working, it would overwrite the bad version with no sound... it's gotta be an FM glitch affecting iOS. A couple of other people also lost sound, but I don't know if they got theirs back yet - none of them have posted about it since yesterday.
My iTunes works, my other apps and games that use sound work, SFP is the only one affected.

Re: I don't know what to do - still no sound
I had to uninstall my game and reinstall it, then download my cloud data to even get the road to fame goals. Maybe this will work to fix your sound?
Personally I play with my iPad on mute so having sound would be a shock to me haha!!

Re: I don't know what to do - still no sound
i'm using iPad 2, but i'm can hear the sounds, although most of them i played on mute...
sorry i might be a bit disconnected, but is the problem of no-sound happening when road to fame goals started?

Re: I don't know what to do - still no sound
Found this suggestion on googling, no harm trying it.
