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.

Been running 10.1 for about a week now and am loving it. Unfortunately, my first beef with this ROM just popped up and I'm hoping someone out there can help. When selecting a tone for a new alarm (or just setting a ring tone for that matter), I'm prompted to select from the stock system sounds. I know when I first flashed to this ROM I could select to use a set of sounds as my default and am fairly certain I chose the extended bank of sounds. Why limit yourself, right? At any rate, I went to manage applications and can't reset defaults because the button is greyed out and unselectable. The non-standard set of sounds is still in there as evidence of both my alarms going off with the sound I had been looking for and, in addition, I can still see all this "missing" tones when I open up Astro File Manager and go to /mnt/sdcard/system/media/audio. At this point, there are folders for alarms, notifications, ringtones & ui, ALL of which contain sound files...the ones I'm in search of. How can I reset this? Did a nandroid backup when sounds were still accessible and when I reflashed to the backup I was still missing the option to select these sounds. What gives? Help!!
Somewhere along the line, while side-loading apk's and just generally having a good time, my default notification sound changed to an old cellphone sounding ring.
I searched the Nook Color forum and found reports of a similar problem but no solution. Someone did include a zip of the audio file in question though, which is what I'm hearing now, too.

Has anyone else run into this and is there an easy fix?
Thanks in advance!
When i installed google voice i think it changed, but I changed it my self shortly after.
In google voice hit the menu button, then it 'More'. A seemingly Blank menu appears.
In reality this menu actually just has White text on a white background. If you press what would be the top option in that menu, it brings you to the apps settings. Where you can change the notification sounds.

Thanks for the reply!
Isn't that an app specific setting for Google Voice? I have a similar setting for Enhanced Email and while it successfully changes the notifications for that app the other system notifications are still "Default Ringtone" which sounds like an old cellphone.
I might be misunderstanding how it works, though.
So it seems to be the stock email client where the notification issue is most noticeable. If I use a different client I can configure the notification sound but the default client *always* uses this default ringtone thing.
Do I need to wait until this is rooted and then just rename some system audio files?
Somehow I lost the ability to choose a MMS sound independent of the notification sound. Not sure what happen but all of a sudden after 2 weeks on the ROM it just changed out of nowhere. Weird thing is on the options menu it'll pick and play a sound, after the option closes out it'll show my chosen ringtone instead of the sound I picked, but actually play the default notification sound? The same thing goes for trying to chose a custom vibrate pattern for texts.
I set my default notification to silent, then I change any apps I want to be able to make sound to a different sound. After reboots (sometimes on a soft reboot, but always if i just pull the batter) the phone defaults the notification setting back to Crystal.
Anyone else experience this? Some apps don't have the ability to just disable the sound notification so I find it easier to only allow the sounds that I want (basically texts and google hangouts) any other suggestion are appreciated.

For some reason I noticed the device does not vibrate for any type of notifications.
SMS, Email, Calendar etc.
Anyone know how to fix this.
I tried going into setting and sounds , i am only able to set vibrate patterns on ring only, nothing for sms or notifications.
is there an external app or something we can do to fix this?
let me know

Hi @rinnycoop121,
First and foremost, are you certain that all of your vibration settings are correctly set?
First, check all of the following sections within settings:
Sounds & Vibration (Vibration & Silent)
Make sure that "Vibration" is on
Sounds & Vibration (Sound Effects and Modes)
Make sure that "Default notification sound" is set to a sound you can adequately hear
System > Accessibility (Vibration & haptic strength)
Make sure that it is on for "Notification vibration"
Then, for each app you wish to change the notification settings for, do the following::
Go into the "App info" (Settings) of the app, select "Notifications", and then make sure everything you want is checked.
You would do the same thing for every other app where you want notifications to appear.
If the previous procedures did not solve your issue, there is an external app that you may utilize. "BuzzKill," which specializes in notification automation, is the one I'm most acquainted with. According to the Google Play store, BuzzKill "allows you to see the notifications you want to see when you want to see them and filter out those you don't". I suppose "BuzzKill" may be the answer you're looking for to solve your notification issue.
