I notice that in the options menu, you can change media volume, ring volume, alarm volume, and notification volume. From what I understand, system sounds such as the lock/unlock noise, audio feedback from item selection, and more, are determined by media volume. Which is the same volume used to play music/video files. I wish they were separate options as sometimes I want my music to play softly but I system sounds to be full volume. Would this be possible in a custom ROM or is it an issue with the hardware?
Have you tried a 3rd part volume manager to see if it works? All of them give you the option to adjust only system volume. I use volume Ace
I use Quick Settings

How do I keep that awful system volume low? The annoying click click is too loud and it keeps going back up. Anyway to fix it? Am I doing something wrong that makes it go up constantly? Can I disable the clicking noise?
Check the keyboard setting , turn off key sound. Simple.
There is also a separate system volume setting under sounds.

I know what you mean about the system volume. I always listen to music on my train commute, which takes a lot of media audio adjustment due to varying external noise levels. Turns out, on my Samsung Vibrant, if you adjust the media audio, the system volume level adjusts as well, so I'd get to work and my phone would sound CLICK CLICK CLICK at an embarassingly high level until I adjusted the system volume back down. What a pain in the butt.
Just created a profile in the Tasker app, though, that should take care of it. For context, I am using Time = 00:00 to 23:59 and then created a task of System Volume = 1. My initial tests are good and adjusting other volume levels doesn't seem to affect the system volume level.
"Settings" > "Sound and display" > uncheck "Audible selection"
And while you're there, you might as well uncheck "Audible touch tones" and turn "System volume" all the way down
Using navigation in Google Maps turns the system volume to max... Presumably because the text-to-speech engine that it uses plays at system volume and they want you to be able too hear it.

Hi to All,
Before using my headset to listen to music I set the Ringer volume at maximum.
But the moment I touch the Volume rocker switch to change the media volume (during music play) the Ringer Volume automatically reduces and lowers to match the media volume.
After this has happened if a call comes in the only way I know is that the music mutes but I hear no ring tone. If I am lucky and in a very quiet environment I can just barely hear the ringtone in the background.
Is anyone else having this problem - and even better is there a solution?
I have the same concern, but it seems no one has any good answer.
in my case, I have this problem after I migrated to a ICS ROM. I have this problem both in stock and other custom ROMs.
I used audio concert app while in GB to have different volume profiles for with/without headset connected, and from what I can remember, I could hear the ringtone and notification sounds loud and clear.
On ICS, even if I set ringtone volume at MAX with headset connected, the ringtone is inaudible. The only way to notice an incoming call or sms is by music being muted. For ringtone, it is longer and so more noticeable, but for sms, it often goes unnoticed...
Is there a way? There are apps that can do this but the optimus 3d override their settings and have the loud click sound again.
I've noticed this from time to time... the keyboard volume is linked to media volume. Sometimes i just pull down the notification area, play music, adjust media volume, stop music. voila
thank you for you answer
/system/media/audio/ui/. Some files in there, likely the Effect_Tick.ogg or maybe a Keypress*.ogg.
thanks but thats not the solution
i know where is the file and if i play it in the player it is much louder (playing through the media vol) than played by the system ui vol
how can i control the system ui volume?
Pretty much all of your options are located in the Settings -> Sound menu. If they're at full, pretty much the only feasible way to increase sound is to either:
1. Edit the files i mentioned (audacity, for example, can do this)
2. Use an app such as Volume+. I'm unsure if this works on ICS though, i've not needed to jack up the volume myself.
Thanks
but you are still wrong i have volume+
and the touch volume is not controlled by any of the sound sliders in the sound menu
unless you put on vibrate then its mute
Anyway to adjust media volume and ring tone volume at the same time? Like in most other phones.
Stock android and cm have the option of individually adjusting volume for ringtone, media, notifications. On the z3 it's a pain to adjust the media volume. If i have to watch a video with no volume I have to open apps like YouTube and adjust the volume and then play the video. Its a simple thing to have and yet the z3 doesn't have it. Thats the biggest issue I have with this phone.
If you have tasker, follow this guide:

Edit, nope that doesn't work, sorry! Although I managed to link ringer and alarm volumes, but for some reason media volume doesn't work
Edit 2, it does seem to sort of work, but it's almost like the media volume works on a different scale to the other volumes. Anyone got any ideas?
