Hi.
I've had two HTC devices before the DNA, so I am a little frustrated that HTC decided to link the ringtone and notification sound control. I want to turn off notification sounds. Does anyone know if that's possible? I tried downloading some volume control apps, and it appears that HTC has disabled, or overridden, the ability to control the ringtone and notification volumes separate.
The decision to tie the ringtone and notification volumes together is bugging me after just one day with the device.
Thanks!
I answered this for you on the General section. Why post in two places on same forum.

Thank you. I didn't want to post twice. I had a problem deleting the post in other thread.

Is there a way to link the ringtone and notification volumes? Or is there an easier way to adjust notification without hunting through settings each time? With cm7 these two were linked in fact I think it its line that in an aosp ROM.

Not to thread jack, but in a related issue...
When I play pandora and output to a set of external speakers via the headphone jack, I must turn the media volume level all the way up for the speakers to play at a reasonable level...
After awhile, the volume just decreases... I try pressing the volume UP key but there is a message that says something to the effect of "playing at high volume for extended time can damage hearing." Is there a way to disable the message and volume attenuation that occurs from playing media files at highest volume for extended time... I searched through the settings and googled this but nothing comes up...

Looking for a solution to this too... I wasn't sure if this was an option stock or not, I guess not. I'm running unnamed and was going to suggest it to gtg, once I get enough posts to post in that forum
You can long press on your home screen and add shortcut, settings, then sounds.
It's not exactly a no effort way, but it will make adjusting the volume quicker.

Haven't run into that problem myself. But there are a few apps on the market that can boost audio volume to your headphone Jack.

Download the app called "quick settings" it allows you to link them in its volume control section of the app. That's how I link them.

Thanks, I might check that out, although I'd prefer not to have an app to do this.
After rooting both our phones to glitched ics a couple weeks ago, we both have the same volume problem with our ringtones. Even when volume is turned up to Max, it is clearly not nearly as loud as it was in stock. I can never hear my phone ring anymore, my notifications are plenty loud, it's just the ringtones that are the issue, and we have tried several, so it's clearly the volume not the tones we are using. I can't help but feel like I am missing something really obvious?

Did you go in and adjust the volumes to where you want and link volumes? Just a thought.

Link volumes? The only volume controls I can find are the ones under settings, and I have it turned all the way up for my ring. Is there somewhere else I can adjust with any of the extra tools in the glitched ics?

Now I see what you mean by link volumes, that was already checked in mine.

Install the free Volume Control app to get a second opinion.
Subject says it all. Used to do this on gb but can't seem to on ics.
Nope, for some unimaginable reason they are controlled together.
Audio control in the market is able to unlink them. It has widgets and profiles. Enhanced Ringer Control for ICS will also unlink them but no widgets or profiles. With either of these you have to go to the apps settings to unlink the ringer and notifications.

I bought Audio Control so that I could separate Notifications and Ringer. When I try to create a Profile that turns Notifications off, it automatically turns the ringer volume OFF as well and won't let me change it. I emailed the Developer to see if there is a fix for this.

Did you first go into settings and turn custom ringer on? That's where it separates them.

I did. The Dev just emailed me to let me know I needed to turn off "Link custom ringer and ringer mode." That fixed it. Great app!

I would imagine the Dev will be getting a lot of business from ICS users. Great app. I love how you can customize the widget colors too.

Thanks guys for all the suggestions.
The subject says is all. I can't find a setting within the app to change the notification sound. Regardless of the system's default notification sound, the app always plays the "hint" sound when I receive an email. It's a very subtle tone and I'd like to change it to something I can actually hear.
I've tried clearing defaults, the cache, and deleting the Exchange account the setting it up again, but no luck. Either something is wrong with my phone or this is just how this phone works. (Which, if it's the latter, is really stupid.)

I already did that, which is why this is so odd. The notification sound does not change regardless of the sound selected.

i think you have to change the notification sound within the mail app it self in settings

Make sure you hit "Aplly" after sellecting new sound.

Yeah, I figured it out now. Thanks, all. I didn't realize that the setting was buried in the Personalize menu. I ran stock on my OG DInc for the longest time and am shamefully unfamiliar with certain parts of Sense. Plus, you could customize the notification sound from the Email app on older versions of Sense.

Same here (from OG Dinc, but ran SkyRaider). It took me forever to find that the first time on this phone.

Anybody know of a way to make the notification volume go up and down simultaneously with the ringtone volume? I have not been able to find a way to do this yet!
Same here, my old phone had this, I miss this option.
To have the ring volume control the notification volume.
Same here as well

For now I have had to use something like this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cb.volumePlus
There is a setting in the app that let's you link the ring and notification volume.
It works... sometimes.
Maybe I don't understand the app fully, but it seems unreliable. The widget to get into volume settings is nice though.
Just seems so trivial. Never had a phone that couldn't do that! I said in one of my posts before... I see an LG overlay update soon. There are a few obvious kinks that need to be fixed up.
It's not possible on the LGOG. Which is just plain stupid...

I use an app called Smart Profiles which I have preset volume profiles. Its super easy and I don't have to mess with the volume rocker much any more.

Does this allow you to link the notification and call volumes?
Sent from my Nocturnal'd LGOG!
Yes, you have the option to set the notification volume to be the same as the ringtone volume in the settings for each of the profiles you set up.

Quick question since you a part of team Nocturnal, is this something that could be achieved trough a custom ROM?
... Say Nocturnal Limited Edition?
Or would the framework source or some such thing be required to edit this?
I've been messing around today and created an application which should do the trick.

Haven't been able to test this with an actual call/notification yet, but looking at the sliders in the system, they move together and seems to be working.
Thank you very much for this.

+1, this belongs in the app section.
Works well.
