Sound

Hi
Where is the sound on setting in the cycling part of the WAHOO app ? And how do I get it to default to ON ?
Every time open the app for a new workout my sound is off ! If I go in to the YOGA app, I can turn it on, close th etoga, go back to the cycing and refind my workout(!) but I can not find it in the Cylcing portion. (And in any case that is a stupid solution !! )

Hey @loribairde, welcome to the forums.
Like you, I’ve found that often the sound is off and I have to go toggle it back on. Annoying for sure but I think The Company is aware.

In any case, it’s easy enough to find on the cycling workout. There’s a gear icon in the top right corner. If you click it, or tap it, there’s 3 tabs. The sound effect and music (sound) setting is found on the “settings” tab as below in iOS.

OK thanks. I will try during next workout
(though I do wish all this setting and fiddling was OUTSIDE the workout. (like ZWIFT!) I hate spending part of my warm up dangling sideways over my PC fiddling … not a very comfortable position as I prefer to NOT have my PC beside my bike as the workout continues (you think coffee is bad on a laptop try sweat …!) and I have it connected to a TV so I get a nice big screen picture ! )

I 100% agree that it would be GREAT if settings could be set, outside the workout. :man_shrugging:t3:

I’ve found that if you are paired to a headset, SYSTM often toggles the Sound off, specifically the Music setting, usually the Sound Effects remain on (the vroom vroom and screeching brakes). I think it may make an assumption that you are listening to other music if paired to a headset.

Interesting, but also weird, especially since “music” means all other sounds except sound effects. So, if riding On Location, A Week With…, Pro Rides, Inspiration you’re unlikely to be listening to other music through your headset. Not saying you’re wrong, just that it’s a weird assumption for The Company to make :stuck_out_tongue:
Edit: and if anyone’s reading this, ,maybe it’s an assumption they can stop making :pray:

Fwiw. I did a wo yesterday, paired headphones first, opened app and music was toggled on.

So if that assumption above was being made, it’s not consistent.

Thanks. I don’t use headphones (just blast in my basement) and did find the sound controls in settings. (And wonder how i missed them…duh)

Odd that the setting doesn’t stay as it was for y’all. I do all on a Windows laptop, and I vary between using the laptop for Music/Sound effects etc or using my earbuds when my wife is in the area and doesn’t want to hear it.
For me, whatever settings I used last time in the SYSTM app seem to stay that way the next time I use it. And I toggle Music on and off fairly often, depending on how it’s impacting me.

No doubt that it’s not consistent, but in my experience on MacOS and headphone pairing (not sure when exactly I paired in relation to launch of SYSTM) but use of headphones seems to affect that setting.

You can open the workout and change all the settings before getting on your bike and hitting the forward arrow to start the workout.
