Reactivate the system sounds - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings, I have a problem with my wildfire with cyano nightly. I do not know how, but a couple of days I have no system sounds. When you turn on or off the screen and when I was writing the sounds emitted. Not any more. I upgraded to the 231, I also tried to turn everything I could, but I have not solved. For the rest of the phone works and then I think I have busted some settings, but do not know what.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Try volumes control. And switch system volume to max.
Some game use system volumes as volumes than media volumes. It may be the problem.

In Settings \ Audio \ Volume I have Ringer, Multimedia Applications and Alarm at the most.
The sounds of the games work ...
In in System \ Media \ Audio folder there are Alarms, Notifications, Ringtones and UI.
All folders containing music files .ogg.
In folder UI are just the sounds that are missing ...

Reflash Rom without wiping may solved this problem (sorry, I just got what you meant.)

Per-App volume control

I often use my phone to listen to the bible and listen to other things. But i really want to be able to turn on some background music with low volume and turn up the voices of my bible app.
Is there any app put there that could allow me to do better mixing?

I am looking to solve a similar problem.. I often use google navigation and google play music at the same time while driving; i don't like the music extremely loud, but if i set the music at a reasonable volume, I often cannot hear the navigation voice prompts clearly.
Will the above app let me turn up just the navigation voice prompts without affecting the music that is playing in the background at the same time? I think that both are outputed on the media audio channel, so if the app is just changing the volume at the level of the media channel it probably wont work.
Any ideas / experience is appreciated..
Thanks!
App volume can manage only the media stream, actually is not possible to separate per app streams with app volume app ...

It'd be awesome if some developer could manage to add the app's icon and volume slider to the default android volume bar upon expanding it..
just use automateit or tasker...

Here's what worked for me.
VLC media player has an equalizer that allows you to lower the volume of a song. Play songs on that at a lower volume and then find another application that allows you to run a separate media track to play audio tapes at a higher volume (my Lyrics Mania app works for this).
I just downloaded an app that worked:
App Volume Manager (for Android)
It is a relatively new app. You set the start up volume for the different apps. I just started using it. There are two issues with using this app:
1. I think it is a 21 day trial
2. I havn't been able to change volume realtime using the app.
For me it works because I just set the start of volume to what I am looking for. It is made to set the start volume not the real time volume.
Could you please shared the play store link?
I cannot figure out to find it.
Thank you

I believe this is the app referred to above:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jappstudio.appvolumemanager&hl=en
..haven't had time to try it, but the description indicates the free version is limited to three applications, but can be unlocked for about a dollar.
with 'App Volume Control' you can choose the volume for each app
non of this propositions work for me, but i know it is possible because when i start soundcloud and after flytube then soundcloud volume is decreased over the flytube.
Hi,
I m looking for the same, did you find it?
Thanks
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am looking for the same thing. App Volume Control does not work for what the OP was asking for. What we want is something that will adjust volume settings per app under one main setting ie; Media, Ringtone, System etc. Example. I'm playing a game that requires sound on for certain things but also want to listen to Spotify while I play. Both use the Media setting. Is there an app that will adjust boths volume to ones desired levels. App Volume Control does not do this and even states it's not possible.
Dont think it can be done on android as of yet.
It all gets played through "media".
Example playing a podcast in background while playing a game, and you want the game volume lower.
On pc's one way around this is virtual cables and virtual mixers, so if someone was able to funnel each apps audio virtually (with ability to set each individually with a slider) before it gets sent to the "media" sound slider would be a great idea.
Having download Poweramp, because it allows you to play sound simultaneously with other music player, lower the sound of what you need to play using the equalizer function. That way, you have the main music player, playing what you want on a high sound and power amp playing music on a low sound.
SoundAssistant by Samsung lets you control the volume of app running at the same time I use it to have 2 things playing over each other. It works perfect!
I think it only works with galaxy phones though.
Wow achieved it Samsung Sound Assistant. Thanks.
I m shocked there is still not a solution for non galaxy devices.
in my use case I would also be happy with just muting one specific app while allowing the other to be controlled by the media stream. Anyone know if this is possible?

I'm looking for this too in other forum and got the answer that at this time Sound Assistant from Samsung just can do this thing.

Ringtone reset

Anyone else getting a glitch where the phone changes the ringtone to default ring? I am not sure of the cause, but I was thinking it might be a side effect of setting the phone to usb mass storage mode. considering if I do that then it will erase all shortcuts to apps stored on my sd

If your ringtone is in your sdcard and you connect your phone to USB, the phone unmounts the card to be used on the computer. You may need to reboot the phone for it to see the custom ringtone is back in the designated location. One option you have would be to move the ringtone on to your internal storage area... then, select the ringtone you want while the phone is connected to USB.
Seen this on the OG Droid.
I tried moving the file to system, but it only recognizes it as a buzzer noise. I made the ringtone with ringdroid, but could it not be recognizing mp3s? All the phones rings are in ogg format.

Try this: open your music app and then choose one of your custom ringtones. While it's playing, press the menu hard key and select "Use as ring tone". Then go back into your Sound settings, and your custom ring tone should show up.

Well to make things weirder, I used the stock music program and set the song the ringtone is based off of to be the ringtone. That seems to work fine, I also tried setting it from ring droid and that worked fine too. I think perhaps its files edited by ringtone editors causing the error as odd as that sounds.
My reasoning is that on my last phone I used a different editor that allowed for fading. When I tried to play the song after making them in the editor they all failed to play. This seems like similar behavior to me. both were rooted droid x2s

I had a similar problem a while back.
I was using ringdroid to make a ringtone from a mp3, it would play in music but wouldn't when I received a call.
I was sniping the selection of the song from 0.00 to 45.00. For some reason the problem was caused by sniping at 0.00. I tried again but this time I started the ringtone at 0.5 and it worked perfectly.
Worth a shot.

I have a 30 second ringtone clip I made (don't remember if it was Ringdroid or mp3 trimmer) and my DX2 resets to the default every now and then too. After re-selecting the tone it will play it again though. Very annoying!

Media volume always starts low (~60%)

Hi guys!
One annoyance I am having is, every time I plug in aux to my car for Pandora, I have to turn the volume back up and let it warn me about loud music being bad for my hearing...
I can't imagine this is an ICS feature. Is there a way I can make it default to the last volume used? (or highest?)

I have tried it on other ICS phones and it doesn't do this... it just is a Samsung idea I guess??
There has to be a way to disable the media volume from starting so low.

I use Tasker to pretty much disable the whole volume changing when inserting headphones deal. Download the attached zip and extract it to your /sdcard/Tasker/ folder. Then, launch Tasker and import the 2 profiles and 2 tasks you've just extracted.
Essentially what this will do is remember the volume level every time it's changed and then restore it to last known level when headset is inserted/ejected.

Unable to play music in full volume

Hey, is this only me or everybody is facing such issue
Whenever i play mp3 files in lg music player or even power amp in full volume, after some seconds volume automatically turns down displaying a dilogue for very short interval "media volume automatically turned down to protect your ears"
Because of this i am unable to enjoy mp3 files in full volume.
Do anybody has a fix for this?

Did you try turning it back up after the phone turned it down? Usually that message comes up the second I start playing music but I just turn the volume up after and it works fine

Yes, for some/very less tracks it works but for some it does not and always keeps on turning down( may be for those tracks whose default volume is just ok or quite high) but its really annoying to have the same problem in ligit songs.
What i have noticed is that in this handset the volume is already very low, so whats the point of Lg worring about hearing damage and trolling us

As I manage my mp3s in folders, I use Poweramp and Music Folder Player, which both have a sound engine capable of squeezing sufficient extra volume out of the phone.
You can control volume with the app "Headset Button Controller". However , JB reserves the long button press, so i configured a quadruple click for "volume up" when discovering this negative aspect of the JB upgrade.

Well, that too didn't worked for me. I wonder why its only me who is facing such problem, and nobody else is worried about it.
I am facing this in both mentioned player also however they are really capable of boosting the volume, BUT LG is far more capable of decreasing it.

Hey,
im facing the exact same Problem. Just flashed CM 11 to my LG lp p760 (beacuse CM 10.2 had the same problem) and still have to deal with it. I tried Poweramp and Appolo.
Phone Speakers/Headset are working just fine but as soon as i plug in my Aux-Stereo-Speakers the volume just goes down to about 50% but the display says its already on full volume and i cant turn it up.
CM 11 has in "kernel settings" the option to activate "headset boost" and if i activate it, the volume is very nice and loud but after like 30 seconds it turns down to even less than before, like 30% of the volume i want. i can then deactivate and activate the boost again to reach 100% volume but it keeps going down. Sometimes the Mediaplayer even crashes and the Music wont come out of the Aux-Speakrrs but the Handy instead.
Does anybody know any solutions? The problem did not occur without a Custom Rom.

[Q] Notifications interrupt music playback even on vibrate.

My phone is always on vibrate, but even then when I'm listening to music I still have the notification sound going off when I get a text or email. I tried disabling all sounds and the notification will still go off in my headphones regardless of what mode the phone is in. Any way to fix that?
+1 Seems a rather common problem and I have not been able to find a fix...
I think its a General android problem which if i remember correctly google said they have changed in Android 5.0 but thats months Away from us
There is a xposed module i think caled DO NOT DISTURB which prevents alot of things interupting music play
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I couldn't find that, but most of the apps I've found simply put the phone in silent/vibrate based on different events.
I wouldn't mind it if the interruptions were limited to Ringer mode, but lowering volume while on vibrate or silent? That just ruins the music experience.
