[iPod 4] No sounds at some games

I bought an iPod. When I play some games I get no sounds. The same games on my old iPod 3 do have sounds. Anybody have the same thing happening?

IPod Touch 4, iOS 4, Windows 7

Checked it... when I hold both old and new iPod next to each other the settings are exactly the same. Except no sounds. The music in the games do work.

Weird..

The answer i think (don't no if its technically right but it worked and makes sense)

there are 2 individual sounds the game and the ringer/alarm sounds.

The games makers use the ringer/alarm channel for sound so the player can turn on/off music and on/off soundeffects.

So... thats it: I turned the ringer/alarm on highest volume. And now I got sounds in my games!

Problem fixed but I still find it weird that there's a relation between my alarm/ringer and game sounds. Should be seperate channels
