I went out the other night to see a movie once there I turned off system volume on the phone. I was surprised when a task ran and played its notification. Y does the android system volume not control tasker.
That's problem one
The other is if the phone s7 with Oreo goes to sleep tasker notifications won't play then when I wake it up It could play several one after the other. It's like there all waiting to play when woke
Whether the basic volume controls a Tasker notification depends on what notification stream the Tasker sound is playing on. Of you turn down the ringtone but set the notification to steam over media, the volume won't be affected.
Make sure you have turned off battery optimization for Tasker (in system settings and any other battery management apps you installed) and in preferences, set reliable alarms to always.

I hear what your saying but when I pull the menu down from the top of the screen there is an icon of a speaker. I would think that if I turn the sound off here then it would shut all sound off. I think your saying no.

I think it's very dependant on ROM, device and how you set the notification action. I would use do not disturb mode for reliable silence. But maybe you're using a ROM older than MM.

Just tried your suggestion do not disturb it didn't work Tasker still plays notifications I'm using a stock ROM just updated from nougat to Oreo it also did the same thing with the older firmware
Did you configure do not disturb to silence everything?
It works fine for me and I haven't seen complaints on the Tasker group so I have to assume it's something about your setup.
You could post your full profile of you want more help.

I know you said Oreo, but in case this thread gets found by someone using Pie, João (Tasker's developer) reported an android bug where the ringer doesn't get properly silenced.

Does anyone know how to increase the volume with voice commander? and also the ringer volume. I can hardly hear the voice commander and I cant hear the phone ring...
I have the same problem
I tried several registry settings, but the ringtone volume is very low now and can't set it back to original even if setting microsoft voice command to not to speak the incoming caller id...
Anybody out there... help !!!
I think I figured this out by accident. I'm using v2.17 and have a Cardo Scala 500 headset.
To make this simple, I'll refer to the volume controls as left and right; the left side being the pda volume and the right side being the ringer volume.
When not on a call, both volume controls are visible. When on a call, the left side disappears. This is probably by design. Unfortunately, the right side volume control appears to do nothing for me when I'm on a call. I found if I turn up the left side volume way up when I'm not on a call, the Microsoft voice is very loud and almost distorted when I listen through the BT headset. But when the call is made, volume returns to an good level and is clear.
When I first got my phone, I kept my left side volume low because I didn't like hearing all the click-click-click when using the stylus. I could barely use the phone because the volume through the headset was so low. No matter what I did, I couldn't get a good volume through the headset.
Now I keep the pda volume very high so I don't have to fumble with the phone to boost the volume right before answering a call. Calls are clear even if the Microsoft voice is a bit distorted and loud when setting up the call.
I was hoping this might be fixed in the newer ROMs.
Thanks for the quick reply 100Tbps.
But unfortunately the problem i'm facing is not exactly the one you had. My problem is that the ringtone volume on the phone has reduced after installing MS Voice Command (which I want to keep). Initially I had set it to speak out the caller name while incoming call, but that reduced the ringtone volume and the volume of the announcement of incoming caller was itself very low. Then, I tried fixing that by changing some registry values, to no avail.
Now i've disabled announcing of incoming caller name, and still ringtone volume is very low. Can't seem to increase even if all the volume sliders are up at max....
Still in a fix... don't want to hard reset and install everything again...
there is a reg edit for it. i found it in a universal forum or something
Thanks a lot grinny11.
I've installed the file. Would love to see what settings the cab file changes - just to learn a bit... i'm a noob here and a wanna be power user
Anyways, all i need to do now is to wait for someone to call me :lol: don't have a landline or alternate phone.
Will update here if problem solved.
Didn't work
maybe will have to do hard reset after all
thats wierd. it works for me. volume of voice command is just as loud as any other ring tone
quick question..
i have never used voice commander before and i could not find the current info page.
Can anyone provide a link to a page with all it can do? What else can you aside from calling contacts? does it work well? im guessing its not free
thanks

thanks.. im trying voice command now... im installing to storage card so i hope that isnt a problem.. does this program have any user interface? i noticed it didnt add anything on my programs list
strange.. i press the button that is assigned to voice command.(its the hold mail button by default)
i hear a quick noise but the mic button does not show up on the top.. when i use file explorer and manually open voice cmd program, then the mic shows up for a few seconds..
was i supposed to install to main memory?
edit.. i reinstalled on main memory and im still getting the same problem.. i just hear a quick noise but nothing happens..
edit2.. figured it out.. by default i maps to message button. changed it to record button and it now works
My ringtone goes from loud to soft then loud and back to soft again in maybe 1-2 seconds interval when there's an incoming call, which is kinda annoying. Anyone else has this problem? is there anyway to fix it? it's not set to increasing ringing and i know its not a sound file problem cos when i play it it's fine, it's just when set to ringtone this problem came up.
much appreciated if anyone knows how to fix this
Do you have Microsoft voice command installed? If so, disable the incoming call announcement. It doesn't work, they wont fix it but it tries to announce. It drops the ring tone volume when it's supposed to be announcing the caller.
Bingo, that fixed it, thanks a lot! but i've got another question then, if i do want voice command to announce the caller, do i disable my ringtone then? Or it doesn't actually work at all? I've read somewhere rather vaguely that it doesn't work on the X1 but on others like the samsung onmia it works, is that true?
(man i love this phone but heck these little things just keep on testing me)
I bounced my way around a few of the threads discussing it and couldn't get it to work on mine.
Tried different cabs etc. I did find the .wav file MSVC created in //volatile and I could play it manually and it had the callers name constructed correctly etc, MSVC just wouldn't play it. Create the file, drop the volume, wont play it
Hi!
When I set Scheduled silent mode (e.g. from 23:00 to 06:00), the Exceptions option is completely ignored. Instead Exceptions are only controlled by the slider in the "Volume Button Menu".
So when I use Silent Mode without Exceptions during day then Exceptions will be disabled at night too, even if they are enabled in Scheduled silent mode.
Can someone confirm this issue? Any solutions or outlook that this will be fixed?
Thank you.
I have noticed this as well. I have a scheduled silent mode where I allow phone calls as exceptions, but when it becomes active at 10 pm, it is without exception. Each night, at 10 pm, I have to hit the volume button and switch the slider to allow exceptions.
I am occasionally on call and I need to silence emails and texts overnight, but I must be able to hear phone calls. The way silent mode works now, if I forget to correct the exceptions setting at 10, I will not hear phone calls. Perhaps we should post something to the Sony forum.
Thanks for your reply!
I posted it at the Sonymobile Support forum. (Sorry, I'm not allowed to post a link here....)
So my pixel 4 5G mutes my sounds daily, will put me in do not disturb, airplane mode or whatever anytime it feels the urge, so it would seem. I've set the screen lock to immediately lock when I kill the screen but it hasn't helped. Do I need to set it to only come on when I press the power button to stop this? SO frustrating. Sure love the camera on this thing though!

Do you have any rules set to change your ring mode?

Ring mode? rephrase please. There's no such thing as a "ring mode". You may silence the ring tone, you may change the ring tone, you can turn up or down the ring tone volume, but there are no modes that I know of.

There are 3 ring modes:
Silent
Vibrate
Sound
I say "ring mode" because it's simpler than "volume, sound, and vibrate settings".
As for rules, check under Settings > System > Rules. You can create rules to automatically effect certain actions, such as changing your ring mode at a certain location or when connected to a certain WiFi network. Since my wife always puts her phone on Silent at work, I created such a rule on her phone so that she won't miss my calls when she's home.
Ah yes, of course, sorry. And that's what the phone does, is change my mode too easily. So I checked rules and there are none made. I was finally able to access my notifications while on car bluetooth though(car speaker would not voice notifications), found the setting to let the phone do the notifications in the car's bluetooth properties (Yay) And thanks for chiming in VOlatyle, appreciated. Thanks for your service as well. The odd thing about this is, my brother has the same phone purchased at the same time and it doesn't act like this. I may do a factory reset and reload it to see if that helps.
I have very important problem because I am feeling a lot of embarrassment from people. My phone ringer goes down and the volum gets low and then I didn't able to hear the ringtone and I always missed very important calls. Is there any solution to this problem or is there any way that to ringtone volume never goes down even I turn down the media button. Please help it has causes me a lot of loss and embarrassment.
Is the volume setting for ringtones low? or is it the volume of the ringtone itself?
In the latter case you may choose another ringtone. in the first case: Does the setting change when the ringtone rings or during a call. Can you reproduce the problem? What steps are needed?
on some phones there is a quick setting for the ringtone mode. you may remove it if you happen to change the setting by accident.

Which ROM ?
Rooted? Magisk modules?
