Notification Volume

[Dan L2]

Sorry if this has been brought up. Tapa talk isn't the best for searching.

Is there a way to adjust the notification volume?

Thanks

Notification volume is tied to the ringer volume.

When you hit one of the volume buttons click on the down arrow to expand.

You'll have 3 options... Ring, Media and Alarms.

Ring is both for ringer and notifications.

gabbott explained it well but I will add one more thing - as with all phones, the notifications themselves vary enormously in volume. Get the ZEDGE app, and try some new ones out. Some are literally twice as loud as any that come with the phone. Same for ring tones. The speaker is appreciably quieter than the 6P speakers though if by chance that's what you're used to.

Additionally, the volume rockers adjust whatever volume is most pertinent. If you're on a call, they adjust call volume. If you're connected to a bluetooth speaker, they adjust bluetooth volume. If the phone is doing nothing, it adjusts notification volume. Etc. etc.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

On my S4 I could adjust ringer, media and notification.

It's nice to have control. Is there an app that breaks the sound volume apart?

There is no app needed. When you use the volume rockers to change the volume, tap the down arrow on the right side of the volume bar that appears on screen and you will have access to separate volumes for everything.

Not everything. He asked about separating ringer volume from notification volume. You can't do that on the Pixel natively.

Boo. Thanks guys

Sorry I missed that distinction - you are correct.

Notification volume = ringer volume with android.

That bring said, it's very easy to select tones that are vastly different in volume, and will have a similar effect.

It's the same way it's been on the Nexus... And one of my biggest complaints about stock Android. I hate the fact that I can't adjust my ringtone and notification volume separately on my 6p. I don't know why Google hasn't figured it out yet that people want it separated.

De-linking volumes is one of the (many) things that Samsung layers on in their custom modifications to Android, which is why their updates always take forever. Would be nice if this was possible natively in Android.
