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.

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 don't see why there needs me to so many choices when it comes to sounds. There's
Incoming call volume
Media volume
System volume
Notification volume
Is there a way to set the sound option to actually turn off/on ALL the sounds? Or at least group the Incoming call volume, system volume, and notification volumes together? For some reason, even my notification volume goes way down if I try to turn the ringtone volume down through the rocker yet it won't go back up unless I manually do it from the settings. It's a little annoying, this is the one thing from Apple that Android would copy. Running Infused v2.2.3 by the way.
Have you tried the sound button in your notification bar?
That turns off everything with 1 button.
Kinda obvious lol
Edit: it turns off all sounds except media volume.

Thanks captain obvious but I would like it to turn off sounds from apps too. It's annoying to have to always put the mute on in games.
There's also the problem of sounds from notifications changing too. I want those to always be synonymous with my incoming call volume.
There are plenty of apps that can lock volumes togheter. Search for sound in market. Dont remember any names

I like Simple Sound because you can place a quick toggle Widget on your home screen...
If you're feeling fancy, you can use Llama and it will do location based toggling
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.

Go into sms>setting>notification>uncheck notification sound to silent sms. Then go to mail>settings>notification settings>uncheck sound notification. Hope this helps

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.
Try this app:

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.
Not sure if this is ROM related or not (running CleanROM 5.0) but weird problem I'm having and I can't figure it out and it just started happening out of nowhere. I can't put my phone's ringtone, notification, and system on silent and be able to adjust my media volume. When all the other volumes are off it like totally locks the media volume slider. I have alarm clock xtreme and I have the option in there checked off to ring even if phone is in silent mode but still nothing plays when the alarm goes off and I have the ringer on vibrate or silent. I never remember experiencing anything like that where silencing the ringer would silence media volume and lock the volume slider for it. When it locks it I can't increase the volume for media at all regardless what app I have open Spotify, Pandora, etc. Only thing I can do is put ringtone volume back on then reboot and then I can adjust media volume. Anyone have any ideas here it's driving me nuts? Thanks!
Ahh no idea anyone?! I still haven't figured it out and it's driving me nuts!!!
Im having the same issue with clean rom

I still haven't figured it out...trying flashing different ROM and the problem is still present so I don't know how to fix it. Anyone have ANY ideas?
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.
