One of the apps muted music and sounds and sounds on my nook hd plus. I've been googling to find the setting where I can unmute but the only answers I'm finding is to install an app to do that. Is that really the case? There's no way to unmute with settings in stock nook without installing third party app?

Did you try pushing the volume up button on the side? If that doesn't work, there should be volume settings in settings.

Pushing button up doesnt unmut. There's no setting in the sound volume section.
You could go back into the app and unmute if it has that option.

You could try rebooting and trying the volume button without removing the app.

Remove the app, and reboot.

And them I'm out of ideas. Something should work without installing an app to fix the sound.

What indications are you getting that it is muted (other than no sound)? Any symbols or anything? And you cannot raise the volume by just moving the volume bar?

The speaker icon in the menu is striken out - a typical mute indicator. the mute icon is not clickable. moving the bar doesnt unmute the sound (the bar does move). Based on googling the only answer I found was to install a third party app, someone recommended "Volume Control +" and that's what I used.

I dont know which app muted the sound, I just reflashed the nook and reinstalled bunch of apps that were on it before. Pushing button up on the side changes increases the volume (as indicated on the bar in the settings) but does not unmute the sound.

Something should work without installing an app to fix the sound - that was exactly my thought. Easiest way to replicate it is to mute it with the above app and trying to find a way to unmute it using stock tools.

Sp perhaps just an app that had a feature gone wrong - locks all control.

Which would mean that if the app causing it is disabled, removed, or perhaps blocked from controlling sound via privacy controls, then the issue would be removed as well (restart possibly needed). And that is how to get around the installation of an app to fix the problem.

[Just need to find the correct app one at a time via the above.]

Turn on the Bluetooth option then turn it back off.
You may even have to try connecting the headphones on first, then turn on and connect the bluetooth, then turn it off.
