############### Trouble Shooting No Sound Issue ###############
NO Sound or Low Volume? Here's a solution
- This app uses the system sound engine, which on rare occasions behaves strangely
- Go into your device's sound settings page and set the volume slider to minimum then back to maximum and turn all the sound setting switches off and back on.
- That will refresh the sound engine
- You should get sound back on.
