Can't control volume of media items used for notifications - Moto G 5G Plus Questions & Answers

In the last few days I've noticed that notifications from WhatsApp and NextSMS are extremely loud. I have both configured to use (different) media files as their notification sounds. I was previously able to control the notification volume from these apps using the media volume control in settings, but while I now have that setting at below 50%, notifications from WhatsApp and NextSMS (i.e. their assigned notification media files) are at maximum volume.
Any ideas why this has started happening, and how I can regain control of the volume of these notifications?
I'm running build number QPNS30.37-Q342-51-2.

Controlling all sounds wit volume rocker buttons

I've noticed that when using a program like handsent sms that the sounds are not part of the ringer.. they are under notifications.. so for instance if I lower my volume wit my rocker buttons to lowest setting but still on ring. And recieve a txt thru handsent the ring will be still loud to what ever the notification ring is set to.. my question is a tweak or something that allows the rocker buttons to control all sound ? Not just ranger volume?

wrong section ...
... but
if you go under settings, sounds, volume you can make the ringtone and notifications move in sync with each other.
There is also an app called audiomanager (free and paid versions) that lets you manage all 6 sound profiles separately. They are:
Alarm
Music
Alerts
Ringer
System
Voice call
and comes with a handy widget. Does not change the functionality of the volume rocker however.

[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.

[Q] Link Notifcations and Ringtone Volume

I'm starting to get annoyed of the fact that i have to got to the setting to change the NOTIFICATIONS volume, where as i can adjust the RINGTONE volume just by using the Volume rocker.
Is there a way to do this without installing any app, i can live with flashing MODS, TWEAKS, or ADD-ONS...
When you turn up/down the volume in homescreen or just outside the apps dont you get expendable bars for other volumes?

I do if i press the "GEAR" beside the volume level...but what i want to know is if there's a way to link the RINGTONE VOLUME and NOTIFICATIONS VOLUME together, so that if i set the RINGTONE haflway NOTIFICATIONS will be set half way too automatically

I was looking around for a way to do this last night and came across "Settings Extended" in Google Play. You can link Ringer and Notifications through the app, which changes the way the rocker works since when you adjust the Ringer Volume using the rocker it now adjusts notifications too.
I also added a Wifi Hotspot toggle and Flashlight toggle to my Notifications bar for easy access to those options through the same app. Pretty pleased with it.

I was hoping for a TWEAK/MOD rather than a new app... anybody?

[Q] Req: app using volume buttons to control volume profiles

Hello, I have searched for this for some time now, but I cannot find any app to do it:
I want to use the volume buttons to change volume profiles.
This way I can create these profiles:
- Silent
- Vibrate
- Soft (ringer, notifications and media)
- Normal (ringer, notifications and media to a 'normal' volume)
- loud (all volume channels a bit louder)
- max (all volume channels louder, some on max)
Changing should not cycle, zo when pressing the Volume+ several times the 'max' profile is chosen and keeps chosen.
Who knows an app that can do this?
Anybody that knows an app or softmod which can do this?
I only see apps with shortcuts on the desktop or from notification bar, but redirecting the volume buttons like this is nowhere to be seen...
There's a defect issue for Android with a request to force the buttons to change a specific volume channel, but that's still something different.
I would love to know how Tasker can use the buttons immediately, without only noticing the volume chance of channels. This way I can make my own tasker task with the volume button up and down.
Currently I am investigating 'Quick click' (downloadable from app store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blor.quickclickgold)
It at least looks promising - the rest can be done via Tasker, I think

Differential between notification and ringtone

Hi any app to have different volume for Notification and ringtone?
There's an app called Volume Controls that will adjust the different volumes, but one you manually adjust the volume with the up or down buttons it resets itself. At least it used to when I used it on my N6. I really wish Google would make separate controls for notifications and the ringer. Samsung does it on their phones.
