No sound in Gather? That’s by design
If you can’t hear anything in Gather, nothing is broken: the app has no sound effects and no music. There’s no need to fiddle with the volume on your TV or phone.
What you get instead
On the TV, animations and text show whose turn it is and what’s happening – say, when a pile gets cleared or the narrator in Village at Night announces the morning.
In the iPhone app, many moments come as a short tap you can feel: when you’re ready, pick a piece, a move lands, the dice roll or a king is put in check.
If your iPhone doesn’t vibrate
The feedback follows your iPhone’s System Haptics. If it’s turned off under Settings › Sounds & Haptics, the phone stays still.
In the browser controller, only Corner Chaos vibrates – when you pick up an item and at the finish – and only in browsers that support vibration.
