How do I get it back? I've searched the forum and found a LOT of threads on how to silence the camera or change the sound. I have the opposite problem. I do not want to take stealth pictures and am missing the feedback that the camera has taken a picture. It was working fine until recently and then it suddenly stopped. A few things have happened recently that might have been the cause:

• The SD card died. I used to have the camera saving pictures there, but I no longer get the option to select the destination. It always goes to DCIM in MyDocs.
• I moved a few games to /opt to save some rootfs space. Only the games, as far as I know, but...
• I ran apt-get upgrade and got a new hildon-desktop. This is an armel version even though I am on CSSU-thumb.

The files /usr/share/sounds/camera_snd_title_x.wav are there (for x=1, 2 and 3). They all belong to root and have 644 permission. When I navigate to them with Filebox and click, Media Player opens and plays them. But the camera does not.

You sure you didn't do the N9QTweak tweak that silences the shutter?

AMD wrong section He's asking for the n900 not n9...

Ah, did not notice in which section this was.. Sorry.

Yeah, I should have made it more obvious. I will try to update the subject. Never done it before
EDIT: Err, could not work out how to

No it's my fault I misread keep it like this..

Don't worry; you are absolutely in the right as its in the n900 section...

Btw if you still want to edit just edit your post and in the Title field you can edit the thread title...

@pichlo,

Check in settings - profiles. What setting do you have for "System sounds" (off/level1/level2). I believe that with "off" the shutter is silent. I have it to level1 and it does make a sound.

Thanks reinob, but that wasn't it. The setting was at level1. I changed it to off and then back to level1 and level2 just to see if it recovers, but it did not.
