I've noticed that when using the AOSP calendar that is included with many ROMs, sometimes the notifications for an event will not play any sound or the sound is partially cut off.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any idea how to fix this?
I too have this issue and have posted here-

What sound is played for calendar notifications? How do I change it?
Fire up calendar, menu button, more, settings, change ringtone?
It's a special Samsung alert, and unfortunately doesn't seem it can be changed. One of the many issues w/Sammy calendar. Others have dl'd third-party alert apps as a workaround (see related threads).
@dcontrol, I have tried the menu button while in the calendar app and I did not see an option to change/disable the calendar notifications.
@pavvy, thanks. I think you are right. What is that sound, anyway? Frying bacon? I'm gonna try and find a decent 3rd party app as a workaround. Can anyone recommend a decent one?
If your phone is rooted you can change the file it plays directly.

I'm using 6.2 rooted with gtalk, I get notifications but no sound. I tried setting up sound settings, but it always goes back to off (the slider for notifications going all the way low).
Anyone else having this issue?
Also on the top right it shows the sound icon with an "x" on it, meaning its on silent. When I play videos or games the sound is perfectly fine, just with notifications in having this issue.
There is this topic already existing. Try to search and find it.

I have had the Nexus 6P for about 1.5 months now. I am running Pure Nexus, and I use LightFlow to control notifications.
I've noticed strange notification behavior with this phone in general. Here they are listed.
1. On a clean reboot, notifications will work normally...for about a day or so. After some time (I don't know exactly when or how), notifications randomly stop. They only come through after turning the screen on or entering the respective app, such as a calendar app. An example is as follows: I noticed that I didn't get calendar notifications for 2 events; as soon as I opened the calendar app, they fired. This behavior happens on all my Nexus devices: a Nexus 5X, 6P and 9.
2. The notification LED does not work in call. In order to make it work, you have to enter the notification light settings and turn on the option to "Enable notification light when screen is on".
3. If music is playing or if you are doing something like Google Navigation, the notification sound will not work, but the vibration/notification LED will. Once exiting that app, it will work again. What is strange is that it "sounds" like the notification sound should play, because the music or Google Navigation will duck out...but no notification sound comes through.
Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior? Any thoughts on how to fix?
I feel like I am the only one out there with this issue, but it has happened with a whole slew of SMS apps, and on several different Rom's including stock. What happens is when I get a text message, and i respond to it in the quickly reply or heads up notification the notification does not clear unless I pull back down and either swipe it away or just pull down on the notification shade and put it back up.. I'm sure of this could be the App but not all of it..
Anyone else out there experiencing it? Or is it just some feature that is new and i hate.. ?
Currently I'm on OctOS 7.0 using Genie SMS app. But this has happened on just about every SMS app and several other roms.
FWIW problem resolved in 7.1 at-least on the pixel build with uberstock
When I have a default notification sound set in my S8, I get a ton of notification sounds, but nothing in the notification bar. It's extremely annoying. I turned off all the app notifications I could, but it didn't help.
I also tried Do Not Disturb with custom exceptions so I would only get notifications for the apps I want, but they are still silent.
Is there a third party app that will mimic what Samsung's DND is supposed to be doing or a way to shut off the phantom notifications?
I'm really starting to hate this phone. For several reasons.

Hello,
I have not had the same issue as you but I've definitely had problems with things syncing on time or out of order. I'm sure you already have, but be sure to dig deep into phone notification settings but individual app settings as well to see if anything is off. If you run the internal app closer, does the issue still occur? Worst case scenario, you could factory reset your phone and see if that corrects the issue.
