My phone become silent (at least for all kind of notifications voice calls, SMS, emails, tapatalk and all other events)
While I the sound plays on preview in sound picker.
I can play music via media player also. Only notifications are silent when they should play.
Assigned notification tones are all valid.
Phone is not in quiet mode or rest hours. Having CM11 installed..

Check the setting, the rom is almost stable so there is not an issue like that. Reflashing the rom will probably help.
I was looking at it and fond the source, my phone was swiched to night profile which I didn't know because I don't use profiles. After switching to default profile all sounds are played again.
Have another problem with sound: sometimes after phone restart the sound menu and all other apps sound settings don't locate the assigned sound tones although I can locate them in place by root explorer. They're placed at /system/media/audio/.
How that's possible the audio files are sometimes "invisible" to Android and apps they use them for playing notifications?
In field for selected ringtone there's label "unknown ringtone" instead of chosen ringtone. This fixes sometimes after phone restart.

Pretty self explanatory; when I am listening to music with the TouchWiz Music Player app, any text messages I get through the TW SMS app will not mute the music or play the notification sound I have selected.
Any ideas on how to fix it? It's driving my partner nuts whenever she tries to send me a text when I'm listening to music.

Upon further investigation it appears as if the SMS app is designed to do this; it will only vibrate while the music player is going (even if vibrate is disabled in the app's settings), but it will not momentarily mute the music and play the notification sound...
This is not good. I want the text messaging app to interrupt my music in case I receive an important message that needs to be responded to.
I was using the AOSP Mms.apk before, which did interrupt the music, but the AOSP messaging app doesn't turn the screen on (and the Vibrant has no notification LEDs) making it hard to notice a text when working and the phone is sitting on the table next to me...
Doesn't seem like I can win... unless someone knows how to hack the TW Mms.apk into doing all four things (turning the screen on, playing a notification sound, vibrating and muting the music)...
Tasker full silent profile works great. No idea about free alternatives.
------------------------------------------
Anybody else finding it's impossible to completely mute the volumes for "Music, video, games & other media" and "Alarms"?
Settings / Sounds / on any sound profile (Normal, Vibrate, Silent):
1) choose Volumes
2) observe or set "Ringtones & notifications" to completely silent
3) set "Music, video, games & other media" and/or "Alarms" to completely silent (also observe that as low as you set it, "Alarms" plays music) and press the OK button
4) return Volumes
5) observe now "Music, video, games & other media" is set kinda low but not completely off; observe that "Alarms" is a little bit higher in volume than that.
6) play a form of media or game or let an alarm go off and yes they are still audible
Is this a feature, a bug or a case of user education?
They are never completely silent unless you switch to vibrate or silent mode.
Alarms have a setting to sound even if volume is silent

I'm not sure I follow.
Settings / Sounds / Sound Profile = Silent.
Launch Cut the Rope
Theme music begins.
Settings / Sounds / Sound Profile = Vibrate.

Volume / Music, video, games & other media = as low as possible

Theme music begins albeit at a very very very very low volume.
Go back to Volume / Music, video, games & other media and the volume is never at the no-sound mark

I see what you are saying and I think that is a problem of design.
Typically, when you set the phone to vibrate or silent no notification sounds like texts or phone call ringers occur but there are apps that override that such as maps, music, and alarms, etc..
Notifications and ringer are governed by the ringer and notifications volume and controlled by vibrate or silent mode also. Music and some other apps are based on media volume which is not controlled by vibrate and silent.
Not sure of a way around that
If you got to your list of alarms, there is a settings menu and at the top it has play alarm when in silent mode that you toggle on or off. That may help part of your issue.

In some of the ICS Roms I've encountered, I cannot chose an alarm ringtone. I get a crash and a reboot. Any suggestions? I just flashed this rom:

Sounds like the Tasker Fullsilentmode profile will do what I need. Will post an update when I get a chance to check it out.

And yes, the Tasker profile does a complete silence.
OK, so I found a great app in the Play Store that allows me to have separate ringtones for Gmail, Outlook, SMS, and MMS along with various vibration modes for each. Although it does not increase the vibration intensity, by letting you choose a longer and/or pulsating pattern it shows that the phone actually does vibrate rather well, so it appears to add intensity to the vibration motor.

Now, for the you help me part: Does anyone out there have a way, or an app, that can separate the volume controls for messages and Ringtone for phone calls? I hate that my message tones are so loud when my ringtones are just right. I did create my own message tone at half volume so that helps somewhat.
My ZTE Axon 7 has this ability built in so I know it can be done! I wish Huawei would do this...anyone from Huawei listening???
So, is there an app that can do this?
Any help is appreciated!
Get Tasker. It'll do everything except make coffee for you. Once you've played with it for a short while, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it (in fact, I'm surprised every time I encounter someone who hasn't already installed it!).

So did Tasker works
Thought I answered the Tasker question....but I'm not finding it???? Oh well....I do not want to use tasker....too complicated and convoluted for what I want/need.... In fact I am no longer using any 3rd party app for ringtones at all. Since I found the proper way to set a ringtone for Gmail, and I now use Textra, and I also created another tone for messages/Textra (which I created at a lower volume) I can now have separate tones for Phone calls, Gmail, and Texts. I can turn the volume up to full for ringtone and my homemade tone for texts plays at the proper volume as if I had two volume sliders instead of just one. Problem solved for me! Thanks though for the suggestion!
My songs or videos tend to go on "mute" mode when a notification goes off. I don't want my song to be muted and then play skipping the lyrics while the phone vibrates for imcoming notification.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
yeah u are right while incoming notification blocks the music sound and the music doesn't pause instead plays on and lyrics skip.
Even i am trying to figure out if there is any settings to change it

Hold the app from which notification comes and tap app info. Go to manage notification turn off allow notification.

Hello as far I think this is not a software issue, I read about something like this much earlier once. Actually most budget phones come without a dedicated sound chip for music and share the one inside the processor for both media and sound notifications. As a result when a notification comes in the current media u r watching gets muted. You can prevent this from happening to some extent by putting the device on silent and turning vibration off while watching or listening to content.
Even in silent mode, media is getting muted while we receive notification on realme 3 pro.

Actually the notification mute mode (can be enabled by tapping the icon below volume changer panel, dont know the real name of it) is helpful in your situation. Media is not paused or muted in this mode.
I just upgraded from an S10 Plus. I have my audio settings set exactly the same. When using Google Maps to navigate I have it set to alert only. On the S10 while driving the music would drop in volume, I would get the alert tone and she would say "speed trap ahead" along with the pop-up on the screen asking if the speed trap is still there. On the S23 I only get the pop-up on the screen, no audio notification and the music volume stays constant. Is this a known bug? I would also get notification tones for messages as well, nothing on the S23. If I set it to be completely un-muted the turn by turn directions come through as expected but I have not yet driven through an area where an alert notification would come through while un-muted.
That sounds like a bug because I have a macro set to run everytime I connect to my car to turn down notification volume to 0 so it doesn't mute audio for notifications but calls still ring for me just fine.
