Hmm, does anyone here have problems with their alarm notification not playing as loud as it should? @[email protected] or is it just me?
i think it may be just you :\ my alarm wakes me up just fine in the morning
That's weird, is there a setting where you could set your alarm's volume?
Because I have my volume on 20... and the sound of the alarm when it's playing is very faint.
Edit: Nevermind it's working fine now. I think it just depends on which ringtone you choose. For me, alarm 02 doesn't play as loud as it should.
I agree, when u test the alarm sound in alarm app, it is very loud. This morning I woke up before it went off, and when it did it was not that loud. I'll research and report if I find anything.
The alarm, like your ringtone, seems to be the kind that increases in volume as it continues to play. I've not been able to find a setting that disables the increasing volume feature.
I agree though, it does seem kinda quiet initially, then the pauses between when the alarm plays seem to be too long.

There I am listening to some cool tunes with my G2 and headphones. All of a sudden my ringtone BLASTS out in my headphones as someone is calling.
Can anyone advise how to have the ringtone sound at low volume when wearing 'phones, whilst leaving the ringtone at it's normal level when headphones aren't plugged in?
I could adjust the ring volume manually each time but surely there is an easier way.

Having the familiar problem that notifications sounds are played louder than ring sounds - always!
If i worked in HTC's R&D department, i'd be such a pain in the ar*e, as i'd never let any of this get through to the general public!
Who's testing this stuff?! Monkeys?!!

Go to Settings, Sound & Display and you will find that you can set the volume of Media, Ringtone and Notifications separately (Ringtones and Notifications are under Ringer Volume).
Alternatively, try Toggle Settings from the Market. You can set the volume of Ringtones, Alarms, Media and Notifications independently for each profile, and create a Headset profile which will turn up the Media volume and turn down the others. Unfortunately it is not possible to create an automatic Headset profile so you would still have to select the profile manually.

I was thinking on the way in, as I got annoyed by my music getting interrupted to tell me I had a new gmail message, that it might be somehow possible to play alert tones without muting default volume. The official AIM app manages to do this somehow, and I've been told back in the day it didn't interrupt anything when an alert played, so I'd like to try to bring this back somehow.
My thoughts are that it should be doable either in the notifications code or the audio code itself. I'm planning to jump into the CM5 source head first tonight, but it would be nice to know where to go about starting looking - is anyone familiar enough with how this works to tell me if it's plausible, and which section of the code it should be in?

this would be great! I mean, whats the point in a blinking red trackball, if it still interrupts music with the sound
Back in the RC29&30 days this was the normal behavior for Android. It was changed to the current action of pausing the ongoing music with RC33 (pretty sure). As much as I would love my music to not be interrupted, I prefer the current method to the old "mixing" method. Where it would just play both sounds at the same time (pretty annoying actually). What would be ideal to me is the way my SEM600i did it, when I was listening to music (or watching a video) it would just beep and vibe when an alert came in & the music continued to play. This way I knew something was happening (be it a call or message) and could check my phone if I wanted, or keep on listening uninterrupted.

I agree with this. Would love a simple beep rather than the whole notification tone.
id prefer a dim of the music volume then the tone, when it stops altogether its quite annoying especially in my car with the speakers up. if it just dimmed the sound down to give the notification preference it wouldnt be so disturbing and it wouldnt go loud silent super loud silent loud every time i get a text

This would actually be ideal, I'm going to look into it and see if it's possible to do this.

I think is is ideal as well but I am not sure if Apple has a patent on that. No other phone that I know of uses that except the iPhone.

I had an SE phone that did that sometime ago... And i am pretty sure that Nokia N95 8GB also does it...
I have a focus flash Mi7Rom
I would like to know if anyone has the same issue.
In Vibrate mode, when you are listening music with a headphone and someone call you, the music will not fade out. You can feel the vibration but no ringtone being played.
In Ring+vibrate mode, under the same situation, music will fade out and ringtone is playing from both headphone and the phone speaker.
Is there anyway to change the setting in vibrate mode where music will fade out with ringtone play when call is coming?
If my phone is in my jacket and someone call me when I was listening music, i would missed that call.
Same things apply to SMS. No notification sound in vibrate mode.
I'm not sure why you think this is a problem. The phone is not supposed to play audio notifications in vibrate mode. If you want the phone to play audio notifications or "ring" then use the ring + vibrate mode. As you mentioned in your post that mode does exactly what you need.
Also, as of now WP7 does not have a mode which plays back audio notifications only through the line out and not through the phone speaker.
Many times I have my phone is in my jacket that I couldn't feel the vibration
If the phone would fade out the music and play my ringtone, then I could have answered those missed calls.
coming from IOS, it's kinda inconvenient.
music video, games and other media sounds not working
rest ringtone notifications and alarms all working
i have checked the sound settings and set to high
restarted multiple times
please help
and now even earpiece not working.... but can be heard on loud speaker.. what a mess
So basically my OP5 plays notification sounds even though it is on muted and on DnD. The alert slider is in muted position. Apparently Android treats my notifications as media sounds and plays them unless media sounds are muted. This problem started on its own, I did not change anything in the settings. It annoys the **** out of me so I would be grateful if anyone could help.

Same here, I've tried also to wipe the cache from recovery, reboot, set/unset the ringtone, etc. but the problem is still there.
It seems also OnePlus 6 does the same: forums.oneplus.com/threads/double-notification-sound-notification-sound-while-on-vibrate-and-dnd.1051359/
