I swear, I have the volume as high as can be, but because the Captivate's speaker is covered most of the time since it lays on top of its speaker, you can only hear a muffle sound most of the time.
The ringer may be maxes but make sure that the notification sound is also maxes, under sound and display go to ringer volume and drag the seccond slider to max. Sometimes it gets bumped down to a unreasonably low volume for whatever reason

Also make sure you turn system volume all the way up

Choose a current tone. It's just quiet. I downloaded a new one and can always hear it now

That is another thing, why does the Notification Volume randomly minimizes itself. What is causing this?
I'd like to know why the notification volume has a mind of its own as well. Seems like I have to turn it up everyday... Not sure if this is an android thing or a samsung thing... Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure if its related, but I had the same problem. My volume was too low and I had everything turned up. One day I was using Google Maps and tried to get directions. The phone asked me to install something for the turn by turn voice directions and immediately everything was louder.
This may be because I messed my phone up or something, but I notice this happening when I turn my volume down... like the notification volume doesn't go back up. so let's say you put your phone on vibrate, it turns down the notification volume too, but when you turn up the main volume the notification gets "stuck" at like 1.... I installed audiomanager and I no longer seem to have this problem.
Just try turning your volume up and down and check your notification volume.

I know that the sounds are located in system/media/audio....check that out see what you can do.

do you mean the same choices, or the same ringtone? You should be able to copy the ringtones from /system/media/audio/ringtones to /sdcard/media/audio/notifications (going from memory here), and I would think that would give you the sounds you are looking for. you will probably have to be rooted to make this work, unless you can find the ringtones in a zip on this forum (which you probably can).

Like the same volume, cause when I lower the incoming calls ringtone then the notification one is the same as it was before without changing

Not sure what you're saying, but you can change the volume in your sound settings. You can change the sound itself according to the above posts.

what he's saying is, that on most stock android phones, the notification volume follows the ringtone volume, so if you lower the ring tone, via the volume keys, it also lowers the notification volumes. The SGS4G doesn't do this. I would imagine that there is a 3rd part app that will handle it, but I am typically on vibrate, or full volume, so it doesn't matter enough to me to really research it.

If you install mysettings from market, you can do this. Open mysettings, long press ringer mode in upper left hand corner. This will give you your volume sliders. check the box that links ringer and notification volumes.

I've been using an app to mute all the sounds on my phone (called Mute!), but it also blocks the vibration function. Does anyone have an app that will mute all system sounds (phone, notification, etc) and still allow vibration?
Press the volume down button till your phone vibrates. Works like a champ
Audio guru is pretty good.

That only mutes the ringer volume. I tried that when I first got my phone at the movie theater. I wasn't too happy when I kept getting text messages and didn't know how to turn off the notification sound.
I found Simple Sound Profile Widget. It lets you set up different sound profiles (like Normal, Meeting, Vibrate, Loud, or whatever) and then you can select one quickly from the home screen.
I'll check out Switcher Pro and Audio Guru as well.

Like Byrd said, no need to download an app. It already has the capability to mute all sounds for all notifications, but keep the vibrate on.
How do I silence notifications?
I have been looking around the settings and cannot find a way to silence the notification sound for SMS's, emails, etc. On stock Android most applications have a ringtone called "Silent" or something to that effect. On the HOS I cannot find it. I feel stupid asking this, but hopefully I am not the only one that is new to Sense and does not know where this is.
Thank you.

Notifications and the phone Ringer volumes are tied together with no way to separate them. If you put the phone in silent it will silence notifications, or if you use the volume rocker on the side of the phone, notification sound volumes will decrease with ringer volume.

That is completely impractical. If I want notifications silenced, I don't want to jump through ****ing hoops like some dog & pony show, but I suppose technically you're right. As long as you don't mind all those ridiculous steps to get it done. But you can't turn notification volume down without turning ringer volume down.

hey im not htc i didnt decide to make it that way lol. i know its pretty dumb but he wants to be able to silent the sms, email, etc and thats how we have to do it. lol
An alternative solution: Try getting the app Volume Control +, set it so that ringtone volume and notification volume are not linked, and then turn down the volume on notifications all the way.
I haven't tried it, so tell us if it works for you.
I've tried with other volume control apps,and they all show different volumes for a second, but ringer and notification are always the same volume, even if the app shows them as different. I guess I'll give Volume Control+ a shot, but I would be surprised if it made a difference.

Volume Control+ & Audio Manager wont do it either.

Thank you for your responses and support.
I was able to disable the notification sound for gmail and SMS.
However, I cannot find a way to disable the notification sound for calendar events. Does anybody know how to disable event notification sounds?
I think it is crazy that "Silent" is not an option in the default list of notification sounds. It would be the easiest way to disable all notifications in one-step.
Thank you.
Has anyone else seen if you pick the phone up a certain way that it will vibrate and decrease the ring tone volume and notification volume. I'm not talking about the volume rocker.
I have noticed that,
I vibrates and I check if I have notifications but theres nothing there...
Weird...

In settings/motion and gestures I think its smart alert and mute settings that are doing it im testing now to find out. Ill have to run it for a day or so and report back.
Okay, I've tried searching around and I think I might be the only person with this problem.
Basically, my notification sounds (e.g. SMS, e-mail) volume level are not in sync with my ring volume. When adjusting the volume level with the volume rocker, it only changes my ring volume and leaves notification volume at whatever it is set at. That is how it operates most of the time. Sometimes it will adjust with my ring volume too, but I have not figured out how to do it consistently.
My biggest problem with this issue is if I put my phone to silence, it will silence my notification volume too, but there will be no other way to turn it back up without going into the settings and manually doing it.
I have almost the same problem, can't increase the notification volume to a level that is easily heard.

Are you also using a Z3? I see that your signature indicates that you're using a Nexus 6P. It would be very odd if this was a problem with other phones to and not just Sony's line.
