Is there a way to have different sound volumes for different programs? I would like to have a lower volume for text messages and a different volume for incoming calls, etc.
(sorry for another NooB question. I am getting better at this, I promise).

Hello all,
I was wondering if there was a software that would allow me to adjust the volume of my text message alerts (possibly as well as other alerts/notifications) differently from my ringtone volume.
I want my ringtone loud, but the alert I have for my text messages and emails are just as loud and they get annoying without purpose. I could probably just switch alerts/sounds so its no big deal, but I do have a custom/unique tone that I would like to keep if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.
I did the recent ICS update on my stock VIvid this weekend by downloading from HTC and updating it through my computer. I couldn't get the OTA to install from my phone for some reason.
Anyhow, the overall volume has increased which is a good thing since with GB the volume was rather low.
I can't remember if the Notification Volume was a part of the Ringtone Volume in GB. Can someone with a GB Vivid check for me? I believe it was a separate volume adjustment.
I'm somewhat annoyed with ICS that there are only 3 volume adjustments you can make - (1) Games, Music, etc (2) Ringtone and Notification (3) Alarms. I want to be able to adjust the Notification separately from the Ringtone. Is there any way for this to be done?
Other than that (and losing my games' progress), I am overall satisfied with ICS.
I use an app called PERSIST | VOLUME CONTROL
its free from the market and allows for volume changing for
alarm, media, ringer, notification,system and voice, it also allows you to lock them (this was my main use for the app, I always bump the volume control as I'm used to the rocker being on the opposite side of the screen)

on a similar note, I'm pissed that HTC removed the custom tone selection from their exchange client... I wish I could just get the AOSP exchange client, its so nice, I don't know why htc even bother writing their own
FWIW, in general, in Gingerbread (not sure about "Sense" GB), you could have notification and ringer volumes unlinked. In ICS, these 2 are now linked and you can't unlink them without special apps (some work, some don't) or a custom ROM. Just check out some of the complaints over in the Galaxy Nexus forums about this. I'm not sure why Google made this change.
david, I will check out the app.
co.ag, so I was remembering it correctly - Sense GB had everything separate from each other. I wish Google did not link Notifications to Ringtone. Its just bloody annoying for me to have all the main tones loud. I had everything where I was comfortable with on GB (well, the ringtone could have been louder...heh).
Thanks for the help guys.
I just tried out Persist Volume Control. It does not allow the Notifications to be adjusted independently of the Ringtone. It behaves just like ICS where the two are linked.
Grr....

Same here. Sucks.

I have a question about volume on ics and such. Its about the keyboard clicks, lock/unlock tick, the volume levels on gingerbread were very loud and noticeable but on ics you have to hold the speaker to your ear to hear it, is it just the rom i'm running or ics in general?
On a side note volume for everything else is normal and working great.
Anybody might know how to raise the volume level just for the mentioned tones.

Volume Butler is the best app for separate ringer and notification volumes, and it's free. The app is simply one of the best apps I've ever seen.

Hi
Can anyone confirm the following.
The notification and ringer volumes are linked. Now when I set the ringer volume to level 1 and choose a ringtone and notification in Settings->Sound, they both play at a soft volume. If I then receive a WhatsApp, Gmail, etc the notification is loud, a lot louder than when I selected in the settings. The ringer volume is still soft though.
I then tried to troubleshoot. If I increase the ringer volume, the ringer and notifications get louder as they should, except the notification get MORE louder. Its would seem that notification is honoring the volume level, but notifications have been amplified before being played. Even playing a sound via Lightflow or Tasker results in this extremely high volume.
Can anybody confirm this odd occurrence I am experiencing.
I have the same problem too.. Let's just hope that in the next update we will get a separate notification volume slider
yes, confirmed. This annoying bug is there from the very beginning.

OK, I found a pretty good work around.
I only use 3 notifications sounds, so I copied the three ogg files from my previous rooted phone onto my PC. You will likely need root access to copy from the Huawei, so you could probably just Google your notification sounds and download them.
I then downloaded Audacity from http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html so that I could lower the volume of the sound files. You can merely drag-drop the file into Audacity from Explorer, and it will open a wave representation. On the left of the wave is a -/+ slider where you can change the clip volume. I reduced my files by -20db, but you could choose you own negative value. I then saved the files. During the save process a dialog will come up where you can set some meta info like a title. I added -20 after the title so that when the phone lists the sounds, you will know which one is yours. I then copied them into the /notifications folder on my phone, or even add into draft gmail which you can then access on your phone and then save into /notifications. When you go to your app or settings to choose a notification sounds, you will see the original and the "new" sound in your list like below, hence why you need to add the -20 behind it.

When you choose the default notification sound in settings, it will sound very soft. But when it actually plays for a notification, it will be close to the same ringer volume. It will also get louder when the ringer volume increases as well :good:
During call notification sound like wechat or wsp app still make sound very loud.very anoying n its hurt my ear.how can i fix this.so regret buying this phone so expensive but quality so dumb even my s5 can control n dont make sound during call
Volume Butler is an third party app that could help
Hey everyone, first time on a Pixel, coming from 4 LG phones and then Samsung's before that.
I'm struggling with the system volume. I have media. Notification. Call volume. Alarms. Casting if I'm casting anything.
But what controls the system sounds? The taps and the responses and confirmations and things. They are too loud, I'm slowly turning them off manually in each app but isn't there a way to control those sounds separate from the other volumes?
Also, looking for confirmation on this, but I think I read no way to change the volume rocker to control the notifications instead of media. I imagine I'll get used to it but rather just change it lol.
I am new to Tasker -- and before I start spending loads of time learning the language, I need to know if it can do the one thing I need most urgently.
My brand new Samsung S23 Ultra has one bad feature - vibration that is so soft I can't feel it. What I am looking to do is, essentially, switch between two sound profiles without having to go into settings and change a bunch of settings one by one. Setting one would be the normal sounds -- an MP3 ringtone and rather standard sounds. Setting 2 would change the "ringtone" to a sound that resembles a vibration, as well as changing the notification sounds (e.g. incoming text messages) to the same thing, and lowering the volume of the ringtone and notifications. That way, the phone will sound like a good old vibration, and thus sound like it was silenced (but I will hear the fake vibration and know I have incoming).
Can Tasker do this, and create buttons or the like to enable each sound profile?
Many thanks!
