Posted at 2020-06-27 by user114454 I also tried (in the IDE):
It didn't make any sound. Posted at 2020-06-27 by user114454 Ah, i'm now thinking maybe it doesn't have that component? https://www.espruino.com/Bangle.js+Development

Most likely this will be the case. The company that manufactured these didn't do a very good job with QA or didn't even care. That's why there is an option in the settings (beep->vibrate) to use the vibration motor for audio, though it is not as loud. On the other hand, the piezo probably wouldn't have been significantly louder. Posted at 2020-06-27 by user114454 Actually, I got it working now. The solution:
Now this works (makes a small beep):
And now jingle bells app is working! Looks like it just needed a reset.... Interestingly my current setting is set to 'Vibrate' under beep... not sure if that's relevant. Posted at 2020-06-29 by @gfwilliams Hi - yes, so as you guessed and @raik pointed out, most likely your Bangle.js doesn't have a piezo in. The default setting (in any firmware from the last few months) is to make noise using the vibration motor ( I know it's not a huge consolation, but if you do have a watch with a Piezo and you flip between the two settings, there's really not a great deal of difference in volume - the sound just isn't desperately loud on these. Posted at 2022-03-08 by mhgue Looks like I do have the same problem with the Bangle.js 2 I ordered in February this year (2022). No way to get a sound out of it, but vibration is Ok. Posted at 2022-03-08 by Alessandro AFAIK Bangle.js 2 does not have sound. Posted at 2022-03-08 by myownself None of the Bangle.js 2's have piezo.

Hi all,
Playing with a new Bangle.js (brand new) - I installed various apps like Jingle Bells, Manic Monday Tone, Morse Code.... I do not hear anything from the watch (it's silent).
In Settings -> Beep, I have it set to 'Piezo'....
Perhaps a component is broken? Or am I missing something?
I can't get it to make a sound. Only when I change the 'Beep' setting does it make a very faint beep noise. But no sounds at all in the apps where I would expect it...
If anyone can help point me in the right direction i'd appreciate it. Thank you :)
