No Sound in iPhone Simulator

I am having problems with running the CrashLanding example on my MacBook - there is no sound. All i get is following error message:

Error generating buffer
: a002
Error loading looping file info: 40962

The App runs fine on the real device and i was developing on a different MacBook before where Sound was working fine. Did anyone experience similar problems and is there a way to solve this?

I am using a MacBook2,1 with OSX 10.5.4.

Can anyone give me some hints on why this could be?
System Sounds and other Audio files run without problems.

MacBook 2, 1, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

Go to your System Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Effects
Check (turn on) "Play user interface sound effects"

I realize this is a very old issue but I'm having the exact same problem just now.

For a long time the SoundEngine worked fine for me, playing effects and background music. Now all of a sudden (no installs of anything) the effects playing of .caf or .wav files no longer works. Pure silence. The background mp3 music still plays, and I get no console errors. I tried stepping through the program and I get into the OpenAl play effect and get no errors returned but nothing actually plays. Works fine on device, not on simulator. Also works on another developers computer with exact same source code and SDK version (tried both 2.2 and 3.0)

Last week my sounds worked in both the device and the simulator. This week no sounds from the simulator... but the device still works fine.

Same issue here. The simulator has worked for months and all of the sudden, no sound. There doesn't seem to be any audio input device for the simulator anymore.

Thank you so much! Worked for me, after hours of troubleshooting.
Cant' believe it was something so simple 🙂
