Recently when I was playing Mario Kart 7 I closed the Nintendo 3DS to take a break only to find that the sound had gone on my Nintendo 3DS. I thought I was the only one that this had happened to but it seems a few people have experience it. Don’t worry, the sound does come back after you reboot the console. Have any of you had the same problem?
I’ve gotten the issue but instead of rebooting, I just put the system back into sleep mode and then it fixed it.
The Firmware update it out Now, go get it.
is*
It takes awhile to download though, i’ve been waiting for 5 mins and it looks less than 10% done.
Spoke too soon,
The whole download took 10 mins.
Video recording is awesome.
hahahha enjoy
Close the system and open it again.
I’ve never had the issue, but then again, i usually shut off my console when i’m done playing it.
How will you ever streetpass anyone like that?
I agree with Joseph. I turn my consoles off when I’m done playing. I’ve never really cared about Street Pass, nor understood the concept behind it very much. So I don’t really care.
You don’t need to have the game on to street pass. I have it on the menu to drain less of the battery. Typically I leave it on for street pass, then play, then power off.
not had that yet
Yeah I had it happen to me last night, it scared me at first but then I just restarted and it was all good.
your the same person as anonymous
And you’re the same person as 16BitGeek.
And you’re stupid. He obviously isn’t. (Everyone who doesn’t choose an e-mail get that avatar…)
Well, at least Nintendo has updated the 3DS to accept downloadable content, so they can easily patch the game if needed.
That’s not the type of downloadable content they’re talking about…
But still, i’m guessing it’s possible for them to patch it
They might. If you go to the eShop and scroll to the left, there is an “Update Software” option.
Nintendo, patching a game? i am 12 and wat is tish/
Duden you just admitted you’re twelve. No one here will take you seriously again. Lol
you just admitted you were 12 to because you have never heard of a meme. no one here will ever take you seriously again.
You just admitted you we’re a troll (in your name) so no one will ever take you seriously again. …and the cycle continues
Yeah guy, the “I’m 12 and what is this” is a joke. Google it.
Wow smarttss
I’m jealous. I won’t be getting my copy until Christmas.
I have indeed had this happen once, I had to reboot it to get the sound back.
I had it once, just shut the system and opened it again. No biggie.
I just thought it was my 3ds. Panic over!
Huh thats rather intresting.
The only issue I’ve had is that mid-race, instead of hitting Start to pause, I hit the Home button. When I did, the screen fuzzed black and white really quickly, then went to the home menu. It worked fine…but it was just weird…
Not that I’m aware of.
i had this same problem! it scared the shit out of me! my L and R buttons also stopped working on me mid-game.
Sickr, man we gotta play soon!
For sure, I sometimes browse by the My Nintendo News Mario Kart 7 community. Here’s the code for it: 23-4505-2161-4018 Catch some of you there!
i raced you just the other day. i think you might have won. :(
I kept losing to that Wayne guy that shows up on here now and then lol
Once i get around to online racing(after beating SS( in the sea of sand) and beating all the cups in all levels(started&finished the 50cc today). Ill be on :) possibly tomorrow.
Yeah, this happened to me as well. I was so scared. xD I turned my 3DS off and back on. It was fine after that.
The only game crippling problem I have with this game is that I play so long my battery runs out. Happened today :D
The only time I play the game outside of my home is during my free period during lunch.
I’m going to remember this since I will be getting mario kart 7 tomorrow
It’s good to be aware of these bugs, I haven’t experienced it yet, THANKS.
The Skyward Sword bug sounds really bad =S It’s good to know about it to to avoid it ;)
O_O oh comments say its not too bad.
luckily this hasn’t happened to me… >_>
yet….
Nintendo isn’t really impressing me lately with these bugs… Skyward Sword… now MK7 -.- c’mon.
yeah but all of these issues are fixable with updates correct? though i guess it sucks for all the people who dont have wifi.
firmware updates can fix all of this, should be able to at least
thats what i was thinking
their was also a glitch in pokemon but it actually wasnt a bad one it actually helped but still a glitch. that 2 out of the three best selling ninty titles that have glitches plus mario kart now.
Haven’t had any problems yet with the sound going off when you close the lid. But I’ll try and experiment on it a while.
At least you can play it, I don’t even have a 3DS and my parents aren’t getting me one for Christmas =(. I need to buy one, is the Legend of Zelda Cosmos Black bundle only going to be available for the holiday season.
LOL FOREVER ALONE XD
SO TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It happend to me too and i was scared since when i pressed the home button and it went back to the home menu there wasn’t any sound either, but when i restarted The system again, the sound came back.
I haven’t experienced this yet. Quite strange.
Have never experienced this issue.
Someone opened the 3DS and closed it 5 times repetitively on purpose to see what would happen. He had to send it back to Nintendo for repair. Skyward Sword and now this, come on Nintendo…
Not had that problem yet. I have experienced an unresponsive R button though whilst (attempting) drifting. It’s not the button as it works fine on my other games.
Not a major bug to be honest. I haven’t experienced it yet. When I first bought my 3DS, I found that closing the lid while playing Pokemon White didn’t enter sleep mode, and it caused the sound to go crazy, so I presumed 3DS wasn’t compatible with sleep mode on original DS games. Luckily, it hasn’t happened since.
I think that only happens if your 3DS is very close to another DS or 3DS. It has something to do with the small magnets in the systems that detect if it’s closed or open.
However, there was no other DS nearby. I got Pokemon white with my 3DS as I never owned the original DS.
The only glitch I have is I keep losing online. At least, I think that’s a glitch.
Comment of the Year.
i had it too, i just closed the game and opened it again
i had the same exact and so i closed the system and opened it again, the sound was back. I thought i broke the 3ds sound sonehow, but it was just the game.
Having sound not function sounds more like a firmware issue than a software issue. I think Nintendo can repair it in a similar way they did with Ridge Racer 3D and all of the Ubisoft launch titles.
Has anyone else noticed that the eShop hasn’t been working today? After it finishes connecting, it say it’s currently under maintenance. I think the eShop is finally getting the demos we all have been waiting for.
I actually did have that:( I got so scared
Wow that sux for anyone who actually has the game, and not having the game sux for anyone who doesn’t. this is a lose-lose situation! i’m twelve what is this! (i’ll go with this and owling but NOT batmanning)
that always happens to me. i just close the screen and open it again until the sound starts working again, i got so worried thinking i was he only one!
is someone alse having trouble with the nintendo eshop or updating the system right now?
I am too. I’m a few posts up about this situation. Also the update isn’t coming until December 8th. I don’t know if anyone else feels this way but I can’t help this feeling that they’re going to change the date again.
Not yet. In fact, today I was in my design class, and when we took our break, I decided to finish a race that had started (it was the last one in the Lighting Cup), but I had left it with the volume all the way up (was using earphones), so when I opened it, the music started playing loudly.
Wow! I seriously had that issue yesterday! I was very confused. I finished up my match and then restarted the system, I thought my system broke for a second.
Guys, I have some news. I just tried to update my 3ds and its updating RIGHT NOW. The update is out. Go make some videos in 3d!
Really? Can you confirm this? Maybe YOUR system wasn’t 100% updated.
It is
Tried to make it happen on purpose, didn’t. AWW YEAH
just close the 3ds and open it up again and is solved!
I JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY R BUTTON WHEN I FIRST EXPERIENCE THIS I THROUGHT MY R-BUTTON WAS BROKE SO I CALLED NINTENDO
all I do is go to menu close it and open it and it fixes it
i haven’t.
Only once has it happened to me.
This happened to me 3 hours ago!
I never experienced any issues except being dropped out of matches.

i also have had the same issue!
gutted mario kart does it! i’m getting it for xmas, however i have experienced this sound problem with FIFA 12!, also freezes my 3ds on occasion, i thought it was a FIFA 12 problem not a 3ds problem! hopefully it will be fixed somehow??
me too
woohoo my system update is almost ready!!
Haven’t had this problem just yet. Then again, I very rarely leave the 3DS in sleep mode, it seems kind of inefficient compared to just switching it off and on again. But still, I have to wonder how Nintendo can miss something like this. Did they somehow have absolutely no testers who put the device in sleep mode in the middle of a race or something, then started playing the game again later?
Sleep mode is good when you need to put your 3DS away for a minute and then come back to the gameplay without the battery being drained so much. Switching it off means you will lose your progress and have to start over if you are playing a game.
I’ve never had a problem.
…because I don’t have the game yet.
