Notification volume low? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm having a problem with low notification volume. When I select the volume and sound in settings, it sounds fine, but when I get a message the volume is very low.
Has anyone else had the same problem? I've tried a couple of different roms (currently on Existenz 3.1.5) and still have the same problem. Any help would be greatfully received (especially as I keep missing my wife's text's.....not a happy bunny )

[Q] Volume issues with notifications

Is anyone else having issues with the volume level on their notifications. I have checked all the settings under notifications and the volume is max, plus changed to different tones. But most of the time I hear no sound when a text comes in. I have not installed that many apps or rooted the phone yet. Am I missing something. It seems to come back after restart but doesnt last long. It worked great for the first week.

Which option in sound increases voicetalk volume?

Hi everyone,
Just wondering which sound setting controls volume for voice talk notification? When I do driving mode and a call is incoming, the volume is really low. I set my ringer volume on the lowest (one bar up from vibrate mode). I'm guessing this is it... but can anyone verify?
I'm at work now so didn't want to disrupt people by my phone going off figuring this out.
Thanks!

[Q] In-call volume CM7

Hello,
I flashed JT's CM7 (Test build 7) yesterday, and I absolutely love it.
However, I have a problem involving In-call volume.
If I press the up and down volume buttons to adjust in-call volume, the volume stays the same although the graphic indicator bar moves.
For all the other volume settings (like media volume, alarm volume, etc) seem to be OK.
Am I the only one who's experiencing this problem? =(
Can anybody please help me to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, everyone is having that problem. It is a problem with the libaudio driver. It was a hacked driver from the nexus s that was hacked even more on top of that just to get it to the level of functionality that it has now. When jt has some time, I'm sure he will rewrite libaudio and the volume issue will be improved.

[Q] Odd unstable volume problem

Hi,
I searched for this and can't find anything on it. Was wondering if anyone else has experienced a similar problem.
When using the FM radio the range of volume that the volume slider/buttons controls isn't always the same. Sometime when a message comes in and a notification plays the volume will jump up. I've tried to use the sound controls in settings to replicate this but it won't do it.
Co-incidentally, receiving messages while the radio is on also sometimes results in the tuned frequency to change :-S

This sounds like a software conflict seen this on the mini pro many times.
some apps or rom features change the volume when notifications come in... this screws with other settings put into place by other apps.
There should be "hopefully" a setting to disable this volume change in the rom.
Also please post in Q&A for future questions. Thanks

[Q] S3 Sound Mode Issues

Hey I am having some major sound issues with my device. The only changes I have made are rooting it. Sound modes seem to have no effect on volume sliders. When the volume is on and if I go to vibrate mode or silent mode, nothing happens. All the volume stays on and will continue. I tried bypassing the issue by installing volume control + with no results. Volume sliders were not changed by the app either. Anyone else have this issue, any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks
Update: Resolved, there was something wrong with the root package I used the first time. I used a new one and all is good.
Afaik 'silent' only applies to alerts and notifications such as the phone ringing on incoming calls. It does not apply to the multimedia volume.

The issue includes notifications and ringtone. They both continue to play at normal volumes in silent and vibrate mode.
Changing to cyanogenmod fixed this issue for me.
