Couple of questions (Music player, Notifications) - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have two small things bothering me in an otherwise incredible experience up until now:
I have root access if it helps.
1- Whenever I am playing music through my headphones or loudspeaker and a notification comes in, the music stops so the notification can play and then the music resumes. It's incredibly irritating. I know there's a fix by putting the phone in vibrate mode, but I'd rather not do that. Is there any way to override this?
2- Whenever a notification comes in, the headup notification bar comes up. But whenever that happens, the notification vanishes from the notification dropdown itself. It's annoying because when I have "5 new messages from 3 contacts" on WhatsApp I have to wait for the headup notification to timeout and for it to go back into the dropdown. If I swipe sideways or up on the headup notification it disappears altogether (wont be back in the dropdown).
Hopefully those can be fixed. Thank you in advance!

[Q] Problems / Quirks after 2.1 update

I love 2.1 compared to 1.6 but two quirks I have that are bothering me are:
1. The headphones sound really distorted. When I watch videos I can hear the background noise but noone talking and lots of distortion. I tried the stock headphones along with 2 other pair that do not have mic's.
2. When I get a sms I get 2 notification sounds and 2 messages in my status bar. So I went into the options of the standard messaging program and turned notifications off. This would be fine but the notification will stay there until I clear it because its not the notification for the standard message app. I searched high and low and cannot find out what is sending this 2nd message.
Note: I don't have any third party messaging apps on the phone. The two icons that pop up is a new smaller icon for the message app in 2.1 which disappears when I turn notifications off. The icon that will not disappear and which I can't disable is the old icon from 1.6's standard message app.
Does anyone have any similar problems or have any suggestions? Thanks!

Advanced notification

Hi guys,
I'm looking for an app or a mod that does these two things:
1) after that my notification sounds is played (ie. bacause a message has arrived) i don't want to hear other notifications for the following 30s (obviously the time period can be changed)
2) when my screen is on i don't want to hear sounds of any notification but I want only to see the icon in the notification bar.
Do you know something that can do these two things or only one of them?
Thank you

Google keep's reminder notification problem

Hey Guys,
I have a nexus 5x.
I am using google keep's reminders but sadly I get a very short (one second) notification on the screen if the screen is on
or a notification short sound (shorter then usual notification sounds) when the screen is off.
There is no notification on top of the screen that I can scroll and see like in the past.
It seems like something is blocking it,
I gave Google keep permissions to my contact, storage and everything that is possible.
I've enabled the locked screen notification on google keep's settings
nothing seem to help.
Seems like something is blocking it and in this way I can't see the reminders that I set
Would appreciate any help on your part.
Thanks.
Someone?

8.1 - notification sounds are not playing...

I have made sure of...
1) Volume is on for the ringer
2) Do not disturb is not enable
3) I can hear the audio from apps - youtube videos, podcasts, music etc
This only started happening with the latest update. After a certain point during up time, I no longer will hear any notification sounds - phone calls, text messages, emails to my inbox, keep alerts, assistant activating
A reboot fixes this.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I've just been around a similar frustrating loop. I'm not a developer and I don't have GAPPS installed so try this and if it doesn't work somebody else more expert may eventually help. Use the settings search box it helps to find your way around. First make sure you have 'Do not Disturb' options turned off (gray). Sound options on my Samsung Lineage17 seem to be in 2 places. The place you find from Settings\Sound shows the volume sliders which should be up. Tap them and check the sound is there. In sound settings you can mute any of these and the green sound bar will show gray. I don't link the ring and notification volumes (gray, off).
Now type 'default notification sound' in the search box and tap the result Default notification sound/sound. Very strangely this puts up the same sound settings as before but with more options to change sound files. I've not yet discovered how to get to this extended screen from Settings. With no GAPPS the default lineageOS sounds are in the OS somewhere I haven't found yet. Installing GAPPS puts Google sound files in the usual root folder.
Before I tried changing from the LineageOS default sound to point my file browser to my custom folder I had no SMS default sound. I had to wipe the System and Dalvick caches then reboot. Since you said you have sounds until some time later, I'm wondering if you have delayed 'Do Not disturb' options set? When you first boot and sound works, check the volume sliders all show green (unmuted). Then when your sounds stop, go back and see if the volume sliders now show gray (muted)? In the past I've found some 3rd party Apps using sounds can interfere with normal default operation and you have to go through the pain of finding the culprit. Good luck.

Notification questions

I'm new to the Samsung phones and can't seem to get notifications to show up on my lockscreen or get the led to flash. I know you have to set this up per app in settings but I can't seem to find an option that allows for this with notification sound turned off. I'm especially having issues with Twitter and Gmail.
TIA for the help.
If your profile is "silent" or "vibrate", the notification sound won't come out.
