Hi, I'm currently using an app called QQ and for many years, it has been routing its notification sounds through the media volume instead of notifications. On Oreo and above, I was able to set it to give me a notification sound via Android, but I have a device running on nougat which doesn't have this option.
Is there a way to re-route/change the audio route the app uses to play notification sounds? Rooted device.
Thanks!

I often use my phone to listen to the bible and listen to other things. But i really want to be able to turn on some background music with low volume and turn up the voices of my bible app.
Is there any app put there that could allow me to do better mixing?

Yes, App Volume does it

I am looking to solve a similar problem.. I often use google navigation and google play music at the same time while driving; i don't like the music extremely loud, but if i set the music at a reasonable volume, I often cannot hear the navigation voice prompts clearly.
Will the above app let me turn up just the navigation voice prompts without affecting the music that is playing in the background at the same time? I think that both are outputed on the media audio channel, so if the app is just changing the volume at the level of the media channel it probably wont work.
Any ideas / experience is appreciated..
Thanks!
App volume can manage only the media stream, actually is not possible to separate per app streams with app volume app ...

It'd be awesome if some developer could manage to add the app's icon and volume slider to the default android volume bar upon expanding it..
just use automateit or tasker...

Here's what worked for me.
VLC media player has an equalizer that allows you to lower the volume of a song. Play songs on that at a lower volume and then find another application that allows you to run a separate media track to play audio tapes at a higher volume (my Lyrics Mania app works for this).
I just downloaded an app that worked:
App Volume Manager (for Android)
It is a relatively new app. You set the start up volume for the different apps. I just started using it. There are two issues with using this app:
1. I think it is a 21 day trial
2. I havn't been able to change volume realtime using the app.
For me it works because I just set the start of volume to what I am looking for. It is made to set the start volume not the real time volume.
Could you please shared the play store link?
I cannot figure out to find it.
Thank you

I believe this is the app referred to above:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jappstudio.appvolumemanager&hl=en
..haven't had time to try it, but the description indicates the free version is limited to three applications, but can be unlocked for about a dollar.
with 'App Volume Control' you can choose the volume for each app
non of this propositions work for me, but i know it is possible because when i start soundcloud and after flytube then soundcloud volume is decreased over the flytube.
Hi,
I m looking for the same, did you find it?
Thanks
Sorry to bring up an old thread but I am looking for the same thing. App Volume Control does not work for what the OP was asking for. What we want is something that will adjust volume settings per app under one main setting ie; Media, Ringtone, System etc. Example. I'm playing a game that requires sound on for certain things but also want to listen to Spotify while I play. Both use the Media setting. Is there an app that will adjust boths volume to ones desired levels. App Volume Control does not do this and even states it's not possible.
Dont think it can be done on android as of yet.
It all gets played through "media".
Example playing a podcast in background while playing a game, and you want the game volume lower.
On pc's one way around this is virtual cables and virtual mixers, so if someone was able to funnel each apps audio virtually (with ability to set each individually with a slider) before it gets sent to the "media" sound slider would be a great idea.
Having download Poweramp, because it allows you to play sound simultaneously with other music player, lower the sound of what you need to play using the equalizer function. That way, you have the main music player, playing what you want on a high sound and power amp playing music on a low sound.
SoundAssistant by Samsung lets you control the volume of app running at the same time I use it to have 2 things playing over each other. It works perfect!
I think it only works with galaxy phones though.
Wow achieved it Samsung Sound Assistant. Thanks.
I m shocked there is still not a solution for non galaxy devices.
in my use case I would also be happy with just muting one specific app while allowing the other to be controlled by the media stream. Anyone know if this is possible?

I'm looking for this too in other forum and got the answer that at this time Sound Assistant from Samsung just can do this thing.
My phone is always on vibrate, but even then when I'm listening to music I still have the notification sound going off when I get a text or email. I tried disabling all sounds and the notification will still go off in my headphones regardless of what mode the phone is in. Any way to fix that?
+1 Seems a rather common problem and I have not been able to find a fix...
I think its a General android problem which if i remember correctly google said they have changed in Android 5.0 but thats months Away from us
There is a xposed module i think caled DO NOT DISTURB which prevents alot of things interupting music play
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I couldn't find that, but most of the apps I've found simply put the phone in silent/vibrate based on different events.
I wouldn't mind it if the interruptions were limited to Ringer mode, but lowering volume while on vibrate or silent? That just ruins the music experience.
I'm using RadarBeep app in my car, but because my phone is paired to the car via Bluetooth, all the sounds that RadarBeep emits (radar alerts voice notification, radar proximity beeps,...) go to a channel that I would only normally hear if I put the car audio source to bluetooth. Unfortunately I prefer to listen to radio and by doing so I can't listen to RadarBeeps alerts... until now!
So I did this small xposed module, more as a small personal project to understand how to do it .
It seems to actually work, so I share it, maybe more people have the same need .
What I did is force all the RadarBeep sounds to go through the ringer stream, so you'll need to adjust the ringer volume on your phone accordingly. You can still lower the volume of Voice / Beeps from within RadarBeep. The master volume from RadarBeep settings won't work (as it adjusts the Media volume, not the Ringer volume).
Bugs can be expected, so bear with me

I would love to see a universal version of this so we can re-route all sounds but will give this a try

What do you mean all sounds? All sounds from any app?
Maybe it would be possible. I'm not an expert in this. I managed to get it working as I needed for this case, not sure I would manage what you say, it sounds much more complicated. But Who knows.
Report back on your experience with this module please. Thanks in advance.
Sorry for my late response but i have more apps that have the same function as RadarBeep so it would be cool if you could reroute all audio from any app this way.
Would it be possible to change a setting somewhere (decompile and edit/replace something?) so it would use the sms app (from marshmallow) instead and send sms notifications to the ringer stream ?

I'm confused here, I don't understand what you mean with sms here, AFAIK RadarBeep doesn't send any SMS. Or do you mean that sms notification (not related at all with RadarBeep would ring through the ringer stream? (that should be possible I guess)

Hi, sorry for the confusion, yes the last part is what i mean, i had an xposed module to have sms notification in ringer stream up to kitkat 4.4 on my S4 but after lollipop it didn't work anymore and the dev. never updated his mod (so i had to leave my s4 at kitkat firmware only for this lol)

Did they ever make one?
I am wondering if there is an app that can intercept the audio focus requests from multiple apps and while keeping the audio focus to the android OS to itself, and merge the streams coming from the multiple apps.
A specific use case is Pandora and Pokemon Go. I want to listen to Pandora while still getting the sound effects from Pokemon while I am out walking/running/biking. I can then stop and hit the Pokestop or catch the Pokemon and continue on my way. By default, which ever app was opened most recently is the one with audio focus to the OS and therefore only sounds from one app can be heard.
What I envision is an app that would require root, would request and receive the audio focus to the OS, and then when any other media source sends an audio focus request to the OS this app would intercept that request, spoof back to the media source that the media source now has audio focus, and add that media source's stream to the mixed stream being sent to the OS. This would also allow the app to control the volume of individual media sources before sending them via the mixed stream up to the OS, so one or more media source could be a higher or lower volume than the others.
I have looked around but can't find anything that offers this service. Most sound mixers (including Viper4Android) are just equalizers, not mixing streams. Some offer the option to change the way notifications interrupt media when a notification comes in, or when a phone call is ringing.
I do know that the app RunKeeper has a feature called "Audio Ducking" which will lower the volume of the other media source (like Pandora) while it announces the mileage/time/speed of your activity. This is similar to but not exactly what I am looking for, and it is not universal to all apps regardless of source.
Thoughts?
By the way, I am currently using Android N Developer Preview 5 on a Nexus 6. I assume that will matter when determining how to intercept the requests for audio focus.

Russ
So, if I play music through headphone jack with the QUAD DAC on for what seems to be at least five minutes, notification sounds no longer work until I reboot the phone.
By no longer work, I mean there is no audible sound at all. It's for all notifications, including the ringtone, and I can't play them by going into notification settings and trying to play them directly there.
If something comes in, the music will lower to allow the notification to play, nut no sound comes from it.
The weird thing, all music and in app sounds continue to work just fine.
I have the same problem. I think its a Android 10 issue. Not hardware related.
LG may have thought about this and made it default to not allow notifications to play over headsets to interrupt your experience....
I wish there was an option to enable or disable.

Only issue with that theory is that I am running Android 11, and have been from the start. Got the phone, went through the setup just enough to get it updated. Then did a factory reset once there were no more updates.
