It appears that choosing the silent option in the quick settings is not enough: the phone will mute notifications, but not the music player. An accidental tap on a music or video file will start it playing, with boomsound and all.
How can I mute the phone completely, such that video would automatically be muted and musuc as well. On a PC that's trivial - one can just turn off the speakers and the machine will not produce any sound regardless of whether you click on the music fule or not. Is thete an equivalent here?
no one? so it's not possible to "turn off" the phone speakers?
So, I'm not alone being interested in silencing the phone, there is now an Xposed module for doing that, but the video is not clear on whether it will actually work on Sense ...

Umm just turn down your media volume to 0 and that should do it.
Anybody here knows how to completely silence the notifications while listening to music? Because even in Vibrate and Silent mode, notification sounds still kick in while listening and it's annoying especially if you are a serious listener.

Inbuilt music player doesn't have the option to turn off "Reduce volume on focus loss"
I would suggest using a different music player.

I'll look into it.
Try enabling do not disturb mode from notification tiles.
I as well as many other previous Nexus 6p owners have been noticing that ringtones / notifications only come out of the bottom speaker of the Pixel 2 XL. The irony of this is that any app besides the "Settings" app has all sound coming out of both speakers. Is there a program / workaround anyone knows of? I don't care if I have to root my phone; I want to use my dual front facing speakers!
Thanks,

Too bad this apparently is not considered a bug, its just how its suposed to work. In my opinion its pretty dumb not to allow both speakers on incoming calls/notifications from Google.
I'm getting sounds out of both speakers when my phone rings. Not sure if this happened before I updated to 8.1, but I don't think so. Tested it with more than one ringtone, stock and custom. Now, my problem is the screen won't come on when the phone rings. I hope an update to the phone app fixes this soon.
Yes my also only the bottom one firing. Any solution?
Bumping this up, any solution?
Can someone please make a mod to enable dual speakers for ringtones?
Currently.. i am studying about sound mod on pixel 2 oreo 8.1.
My main objective is to fix the crackling issue.. btw.. i will look into this one too

I use a Tasker profile to get around this issue. Basically, I monitor the status of calls, and when the phone is ringing, I play my ringtone as media. Then as soon as the call is answered or ignored (offhook or idle), the exit task stops the media. I just set my actual ringtone in settings to "none". Other than that, it behaves exactly like a ringtone should. My task also matches the media volume to the ringtone volume while ringing, then restores the previous media volume setting. That way, if your phone is on vibrate, it won't still ring out loud. I can do a detailed write up on how I did it if anyone needs it.

That sounds like a great idea that I'd like to try. Can you please share that profile?
Like I said in other posts, sound does come out of both speakers with calls and notifications. When you're choosing a sound in settings, it does indeed only come out of the bottom speaker. I can't believe I'm the only one who has sounds coming out of both speakers when a call comes in. I've tested it with multiple sounds, too.

Confused with what you are saying. Are you saying that when you choose a ringtone in settings you no longer have it coming out of only the bottom speaker?

Yes. It only comes out of the bottom speaker when I'm picking the sound. When someone calls, I hear it from both speakers. I've tried this with both custom and system sounds.

I have attached my prj.xml I have literally never shared a Tasker project so I hope this is sufficient! If you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks a lot! I've only used profiles and tasks in Tasker before, but your project imported just fine. All I had to do was change your task's ringtone to mine and set my phone's ringtone to none. Now to wait for someone to call me.

Yes it does and it's great! I figured out how to test it by calling my cell phone from Google Voice/Hangouts on my PC.

Ring Volume not loud enough

ccoulterjg1 - please provide detailed instructions on how to get tasker profile to resolve the issue of the ring volume using the ring speaker configuration instead of the media speaker configuration, which should resolve the issue, as media volume is quite loud and ring volume is not (I need to be able to hear my phone ring when I am sleeping, and on-call).
Does anyone know how to mute the mod attachment sound?
I haven't seen anything in settings, nor do I know a way to mute an app.

im sure if you have root you can go into the system files and just delete the sound
The sound is in the ModService Apk, which will turn into a big ugly mess if I edit. Why - we get updates for it via play store, and it's a system app.
The sound id outputted via ringer. why you're ringer is off, but media is on (and playing) you can attach the speaker and have it switch seamlessly with no sound.
The sound will play on DND if it is priority only, and that is with only stared contacts going through. However Alarms only and mute all are fine
I found a clunky, but semi easy, way to do it is to turn DND(must be alarms only or mute all) on before you attach, and off afterwords.
I think I'm going to uses a taker notification to automate the ringer method, maybe using quick settings
ex:
task 5SecRingOff
set var %ring to %VOLR # store the current volume in a variable called ring
Set ringer to 0 # turn of ringer
wait 5 seconds # allow time to attach
set ringer to %ring # restore old volume
(comments are python style, I've been using a lot of it lately.)
However, I still would be interested to see if we could disable via settings, shell or adb.
I tried muting all notification sounds on all Motorola apps. This would require an edit to the apk from what I have tried so far. I will dig a little further on my day off and run a logcat to see what triggers the noise and see if it can be an edit that will allow updates to go through. It might take a few days if a modified apk isn't what you're looking for.
I'm fine with that.
Just in case you missed it, the sound goes through the same audio stream as the phone's ringtone does. It does not go through notifications or media.
Is it possible to block it from accesssing that stream. Disabling phone permissions doesn't do it.
I'm having trouble with both the "mute" sound mode and DND even with no exceptions set. Based on both the manual and the description in the UI they should be muting my media sounds, but they're not. I even rebooted the phone into safe mode and set DND with mute and loaded up web pages and youtube and there it goes playing sounds when my phone shouldn't be making a peep. I did a search for mute and didn't turn up much on the forums. From the S9 user manual it says "Mute: Set your device to make no sounds.", so I take that to include media just like with every other device that has a mute feature.
Has anyone else experienced this, or can replicate by setting their mute & DND then trying to play a youtube video? Before I go through the headache of a factory reset I'd like to confirm if it's just my device. It's really important to me that I'm able to throw my device into silent mode and that it's actually silent and not going to start screaming at max volume if I'm reading the news and it decides to autoplay a video.
DND mutes notifications and ringtones, I'm guessing their wording of also muting media means something other than apps that play music or videos that you manually invoke
Use the media volume control to mute media like that
Well, I was able to solve this with Tasker. I set up a variable watcher on interrupt and whenever it changes away from all it mutes my media volume. The downside is it doesn't appear that Tasker can do anything with the Samsung sound profiles, so I can't actually use the mute option to mute my phone.
