Notifications that lower music and media sound volume (in silent mode) (MIUI 10) - Xiaomi Mi 6 Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my Xiaomi Mi 6 with MIUI 10.0.1.0 stable: I always use the phone in silent mode, with no vibration either, because I send all the notifications to my Amazfit Bip, but, even though this, everytime I receive a notification whatsoever while listening to music or watching a video, the media sound is lowered.
It does that with Google Play Music and YouTube.
My phone only lowers the media volume, it doesn't actually play a notification sound, since it's in silent mode.
It's incredibly annoying.
I can't listen a single song without being disturbed.
I wandered through the options and found nothing about that: have you got suggestions?
Is this a MIUI feature or there's something wrong with my phone?
Thanks!

I think I found a workaround but this definitively needs to be a bug because it's a really nonsense behaviour.
I went to Settings > Sounds and Vibrations > Ringtone & Notification Sound > and I set "None" for Message Received and Default Notification Sound.
I made some tests and now I can receive notifications from WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger Lite, Signal, Telegram and GMail while listening to music, without the music being lowered.
(Sometimes it happens again BTW...).
Obviously, this is a nuisance when using the phone not in silent mode, because I won't hear most of notifications.

Hi sberla. Did you found any other solution to this issue? As a music lover and Spotify's, the experience with my new Mi8 has been not as good as I though. Thanks!!

Hi Manu!
No, unfortunately I didn't find anything else but with the workaround I described, everything is working fine now

My friend had same issue. In sound settings she checked "also vibrate for calls" + "vibrator in silent mode". This solved the issue. (Redmi Note 5)

go to the app that notifies and lowers the notification Settings > Apps > Manage Apps > <app> > Notifications and turn off the allow sound
i use miui 11 and this is the only solution that worked for me

A little bit late but, on MIUI 10/11 I use to workaround this problem just by setting the DND mode. Just after you put the smartphone in DND the multimedia volume will decrease to zero. Just rise it up again.

Thanks, it's a little bit uncomfortable but it should work!

Hey everyone, I finally found the settings, that turns this off - go to settings --> sound and vibrations --> and there is a "sound assistant". You just need to turn on "more sound sources" when you open it up

[Q] CM7 RC4 Problem

I've had this happen on RC2 as well...
After I've put the volume all the way down (vibrate only mode) and then turned the volume back up, none of my notification sounds will play. When I get sms/email the vibrate will go off but not the tone. I've checked Handcent and GMail settings and they both have a tone selected. However, once I get a txt/email, only vibrate no sound. My call ringtones, volume up/down, apps, music..etc works, but no notification.
Anyone help?
Grab Audio Guru from the market. It lists out all the system sound modes and lets you control all six of them individually. I had this happen once and found one of my sound controls set to zero. Used the slider in Audio Guru to increase it to max, problem solved.

Vibration on Notification Bug

I just installed CM 10.1, have been on 4.1.2 before this.
I can't find the right settings for a sound mode where gmail notificiations will only play a sound and not vibrate.
I have disabled vibration in the options in Gmail, but the Gmail notifications are still vibrating. I have also tried the various sound modes available in CM. This is a deal killer for me because my phone will be vibrating all day long annoying the hell out of me. Putting it in silent and also losing the sound notification is not an option.
This seems to be an issue others have pointed out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785800&page=3
Is there a fix/workaround?
Found the issue...it was profiles. I have to go into the Application Groups in the Profiles menu and change all the application options to not override for ring, vibrate, and light.
Awesome post!! Thanks so much for bringing this up....
as a new user I did not know how profiles override system settings in the setting menu. ESPECIALLY vibrate and notifications!!!
Thanks

Constant sound and vibration when new notification is received

Hello,
recently i've bought HTC One m8. And yesterday it started fooling around. When I receive a message from Facebook messanger or any other app, I get normal notification sound and vibration. But, if I do not read it, other sound and vibration goes on every 15second precisely. If I turn off all the sounds and vibrations, vibration still goes on! I found out, if I enable Do Not Disturb mode then there is no sound and vibration anymore.
Any thoughts?
Fixed!
Apparently, I cannot post any links since I am new user. Solution should be Settings > Accessibility > Notification reminder. Choose interval or just disable function.

Override Do Not Disturb

Hi all,
I have updated my Pixel 2 XL to Android Pie, and I think I've got my head around the Do Not Disturb functionality. At present I want to see all notifications, but I want them all to be silent apart from Alarms. I've also set it so that media volume is muted in DND, as I find it really annoying when in DND and some advert on something, or a video blurts out loudly when you don't expect it.
This is all great, apart from when I hook my phone up to my car via bluetooth. Unless I take my phone off DND, I can't hear any music play via google music. Before Pie, I used to be able to have a seperate volume for bluetooth, but it now seems that everything is just muted and I can't alter the volumne unless I turn DND off, which I don't really want to do everytime I get in the car and never had to do before. I thought about setting google music to "override DND", but when I look at the notifications it is already set to override.
So, why isn't the music overriding the muted media of DND, and how can I get music to play without having to turn off DND when connected via bluetooth?
Hope that makes sense!

Music needs media volume. You muted it with DND so there's your reason. You can try not muting it with DND and just keeping the media volume low or manually muted. That's why they made the volume button to control media by default.

Media volume is muted by DND, Play music has override of DND, therefore it shouldn't be muted. Just doesn't make sense to me. I know I can just not have DND mute media, but that's not what I want here.

It does? Where? I don't see an override DND anywhere in Play Music settings.
Also, with Android Pie it remembers your Bluetooth volumes for each device. So if don't mute media, keep your media volume low but connected to your car or whatever Bluetooth, you'll get you volume back to what you had it.
In my case, a lot of times I actually mute my media and notifications because I get it on my watch. But when I connect to my car, I get all my Play Music fine without adjustments.

Go to Settings, then Apps & Notifications, Select Google Play Music, Select Notification, then Select Playback, Select Advanced and here you'll find Override Do No Disturb, which is on.
I understand what you're saying, just keep media on in DND, but keep it down low and have a different volume for Bluetooth, and that's exactly how I used to do it before Pie. But the problem comes from when you have watched a video at some point, forgotten to turn the volume back down, and then at some inappropriate time in DND sound blurts out. I was hoping that avoid that happening with the new media mute setting in DND but still have the bluetooth sound override that setting.
I'm not an android expert by any stretch of the imagination, just thought it was worth asking the question.

The keyword in your steps is "Apps & Notifications". The only thing that'll override DND with that setting is notifications coming from Google Play and not media volume.

Question Music stops for a split second when notifications come through even on Vibrate.

Anyone else experienced this before? I've set my phone on vibrate and it still does this thing where it stops whatever that is playing for a second before resuming.
Yep, I had this issue too. My Fold 4 would kill any sound playing on a Bluetooth device while a notification is on the screen. The workaround right now is to go to Settings > Sounds and Vibrations > Seperate App Sound and enable it, select your music app or any app you need sound for, and set the audio device to Bluetooth Device. Sound will work fine on the phone if there are no Bluetooth devices connected and will not cut out during notifications while using bluetooth
