I have been having volume issues that I haven't seen anyone post about. Alarms I have seen and I'm having the same issue. Not with the alarm app crashing but with the volume itself. The alarm goes off but no volume. Same with phone ring tone and message ringtone. I have missed calls and messages because when the arrive I don't hear them. Everything works like it should just no volume when the volume is set to high. I do have a volume mod installed to make it louder but I had the same issue prior to installing the mod. I'm currently running CromCleanrom but also had the issue with Alliance. If anyone knows a fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Is there any way to either set the SMS notification volume explicitly or to make it behave like the phone volume?
As it is now it follows the device volume, which I most often turn off to stop getting annoying beeps and clicks.

andreakn - Did you ever get a fix for this? If so I would love to hear what it was.
I have exactly the same problem/annoyance.
I wondered why I kept missing texts, and it was because I had the volume turned right down. I only assumed it was controlled via the phone volume as that would be sensible but apparently not. Anyone know of a way to fix this?
Now I'm bumping this..
Ok, I really hate bumping this much but there must be an app of some description..
I'd be very interested in this too if anyone has a solution.

I use PocketZenPhone, and there you have to set device volume to at least 01 to get any SMS sound or Vibration. On that level though there aren't any beeps and clicks...
PZP uses the devices standard controls, so the conclusion is, SMS sound are dependent on the device volume, not the phone volume, but when you set it to the lowest level you can have at least vibration.
This bug has been around since the TP. No idea why it has migrated operating systems..
Anyhow, try this. Set your notification volume to max. Wait a few seconds, and go into your notification tones and play one. Immediately after it has finished, play it again. Notice the first time it played, the volume was substantially quieter. The second time it played, it actually used max volume as per your setting.
This greatly effects notifications with just a few bytes of sound and not an ongoing ringtone. An ongoing ringtone will begin quieter than full, and then pick up to full volume or whatever you have in your settings but the first few sound bytes will always be quiet.
If you have notifications set for text or email, you will never hear your notifications at full volume unless it`s an ongoing ringtone (and who the hell wants that!).
I cant believe this hasn't been addressed yet. I have already tested this with three stock DHDs (but none with any custom roms.)
After my meeting with the regional HTC rep this week I will load a custom ROM onto my DHD and test further.
Feel free to post your findings! Would like to know if this issue is present in custom roms as well.
EDIT: Initial problem (/w TP2) discovered here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/80017-speaker-volume-quiet-then-loud.html
I have just tried what your talking about.
but it doesnt seem to happen on my phone..
My phone was set to silent, then uped it to max,
went to my sound settings - notifications, selected the one i usually use,
sounded normal..
tapped it 4 more times.. no difference.
I think I know what you mean, at the home screen if you use the volume rockers and kee increasing, I can hear the volume getting louder as I press even when the volume on screen bar is at max.
I found that even at max it was still too quiet. I got my tones into SoundForge and increased the volume by like 50% and its nice and loud now

That's definitely something to consider.. good idea, I need to try that!... We're you able to do this with notification tones or just ring tones?
Just to note if you keep pressing the notifications you won't hear a difference, its the very FIRST sound that comes from the speaker will be quiet after a short rest of a few seconds.
Turn off the screen as well.. wait a couple of seconds, turn it back on, play a sound and then play it again and you'll notice that the second time it plays is a lot more audible (playing at max volume).
I just increased the volume on a ringtone(mp3) I want and put it on the sd card, and selected it as my ringtone. I did the same with a tone I wanted as my sms, but saved it in the notifications folder. I've only done it with my ringer and sms tone so far. Temporary fix but if I'm trimming my tones on my pc I can increase the volume as well, hopefully I don't have to keep doing it for long. I haven't tried the roms with volume fixes yet.
Using Revolution 4.0 and seems to be working fine.
Just wanted to post back. After rooting and roming the issue definitely has not ceased. I've learned to cope and will eventually make some tones that have amped volumes with some PC apps.
Still annoying though.. tested on 9 DHDs so far. Not one didnt have the issue. Ugh.
Hi All!
I have heard about similar issues around, but now I have one, and the problem is that I run stock android 4.3 on my Nexus 4.
The issue is not always there. It happens occasionaly and then dissapears.
What exactly happens: sometimes I stop hearing sounds of notifications and ringing. Media and alarm are working at the same time.
When I try to change the volume in Sound-->Volumes I get the situation on the image in the attachment.
So whatever I do, I get "silent" ringtone. After clicking OK, and opening the Volumes once again, the ringer volume is set back to "silent"
I have also looked a bit into the adb console in my android studio and when having the issue I have a couple of lines, that don't appear when The issue is not present:
Code:
audio_hw_primary: out_set_parameters: exit: code(1)
Not sure if it helps but still.
Does anyone know what could be the cause? Where should I dig? Thanks!
The icon means your ringer has been muted. Have someone call you and then use the volume rocker to turn the volume up

Thanks for the answer, but I believe it's not what you say. I am able to talk using the phone with no problems, without even touching the volume rocker. So this is not muted. However, the situation on the picture results in muting the notification and ringing sound.
So I see it as a different problem.
I meant the icon means it's on silent

I understand. But the behavior should be as follows: I drag the volume level and the icon changes, right? This is not happening. However I drag the widget, the "muted" icon does not change.
But I will still try what you suggest, though I am sure it is not the source of the problem, as in your case it would not turn on and off by itself.
When I try to decrease the call volume the slider goes down but the call doesn't get any quieter. Does anyone know how to fix this? I haven't frozen anything recently but is it possible to disable call volume ? Maybe I did it before but never noticed.
I have a rooted SM-G900V with 5.0. The ringtone volume for incoming calls fades up and down - LOUDquietLOUDquiet. When I select and play that ringtone, the volume is consistent. I've tried different ringtones and get the same results: varying volume. I'm using the stock phone and dialer apps.
Help wanted.
Tthe ringer volume setting is being changed as the phone rings. If I hear the ringtone and answer when the volume happens to be down, then check the ringtone volume setting, it's almost off or even down to "vibrate only". What is going on here??
Still looking for help with this...
