Volume rocker question - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

If I'm watching YouTube and want to increase or lower the volume, I press the volume rocker and it says Call Volume and not Media volume, so I can't adjust the volume.
I've been rebooting my phone to get the Media volume to default when watching YouTube and Ring volume at other times.
How do I resolve this so when I watch YouTube, the volume rocker changes Media volume?
I notice that when I'm surfing the Web and I hit the volume rocker it says Call Volume.
I thought it should say Ring volume.

volume rocker question....

Sorry if this has been asked but can you change the volume rocker to adjust the volume on videos/youtube? seems strange that you cant change the volume when watching vids. It seems to skip forward/back only?

RInger volume control

Does anyone know if the Vibrant is capable of controlling the ringer volume with the volume buttons. Basically I want to lower the ringer with volume key which when all the way down will activate vibrate mode.
The silent mode that is activated through the power button or drop down menu does not put the phone on vibrate. It requires you to go via settings and activating it.
On my mt3g the volume pad controls the ringer but on the Vibrant it controls the media volume. Is there a way to switch to ringer volume?
THanks
The only time the volume keys don't control the ringer is when you are listening to music or watching a video
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA app
thanks, that makes some sense except I am not listening to music or watching a video. i will check to see if the media is playing in the background.

Feature Request for Linking Media volume to Ringer and Notifications

Does anyone know if there is an app or setting for our phones that will allow me to link the media volume to the ringer and notification volume? I'd like to use the rocker to mute my phone completely. I often find that i'll use the rocker to vibrate or silence my phone but then open an app that makes a loud noise at inopportune times. I don't feel like pulling down the notification drawer and manually adjusting the media volume every time i enter a quiet area is the best solution.
Ideally, i'd like the media volume to be linked but adjustable through the pull down menu to its own volume. When a volume rocker is pressed, I'd like the media volume to snap to the same volume that the new adjusted ringer/notification volume is at. This will promote the most functionality with the least loss of control.
Users will be able to modify their media, notification, and ringer volume on the fly with the rocker while in app. Separate volume control is preserved through the notification bar or by clicking the down arrow on the volume bar. Then, whenever vibrate or silence is required and vibrate/silence is activated with the volume rocker, users could rest assured that no errant link, snapchat story, or random screen press will play something that is unrestricted by the volume rocker and delegated by media volume instead.
I'd appreciate the help and i believe many people would benefit from this functionality.

Volume button controls ringer volume while media is playing

I'm sitting here looking at my Spotify app on my 6P while it's playing music into my earbuds, and hitting the volume up/down buttons affects the ringer volume. What gives??? Stock ROM.
