Volume button changing media volume, not notification volume

For some reason my volume keys are not functioning properly. I have already tried to reset and it does work for a little bit but it eventually goes back to the media volume (like if you were in Youtube)
I haven't run any apps aside from Hangouts an everything in the background is closed. Any ideas?

Are you connected to something via Bluetooth possibly?

I can confirm this same issue with my Nexus 5. Volume buttons initially controlled the notification volume, but now are only controlling the media volume. This occurs even on the home screen. The only way I can control the notification volume is to go into Settings->Sound->Volumes and change it manually.
Does anyone know of a potential fix for this?

Same problem here.

Check if there is any kind of media player running (Podcast, Music, Pandora) it doesn't have to be playing anything, but I have noticed that if one is open it will change the media volume 8/10 times. Also tapping on an empty section of the home screen, then immediately changing it seems to trigger the ringer/notification.
Hopefully this helps

Thanks, I tried but actually for me is not working. So when I touch empty space on my home screen, nothing changed. Actually I'm not use any media player. Today I watched couple of video via chrome and YouTube. But anyway thanks for trying to help us.

[Lollipop] Volume Panel?

One of the gripes I have with android L is that if im playing music through google play, I can't change the volume of the ringer while the music is playing. It just adjusts the music volume. Is there an expandable volume panel object of some sort? thanks.

Also interested in this, subscribed.
There is an app called Noyze that seems to be what we are after but it needs to be updated because it can't be activated in lollipop...

Settings -> Sound & Notification

Yeah great. If you git a mo3 or video screaming way to loud I will go to settings and then....
Thats ridiciculous.

An expandable volume panel has just been added in the latest Cataclysm ROM update.

Well no because if you have media playing, the volume keys control the media. There's no problem there. OP wants to adjust ringtone volume whilst media is playing. Volume keys won't control ringtones until media is stopped.

Try Volume Button by Yogesh Dama. Not exactly what you what but it may be enough until we see this in custom ROMs.

[Possible Bug] Audio jumps twice or all the way to the top, on increasing the volume

This is happening since last few versions of the free mx player, at least for me. Decreasing volume works fine. It's only when increasing, that this occurs. Also, it happens quite a lot of the time.
Increasing volume outside mx player works fine.
I'm using S7582, 4.2.2 (Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2).I use mx in companion with v4a (if that helps).

There is nothing special on changing sound volume level. It just calls a simple system function that makes volume changed. I guess v4a looks like having some issues.
As a workaround, you can make MX not touch system sound volume by unchecking Setting > Audio > System volume.

[Q] Poweramp and using the volume rocker to switch tracks...

Hi,
I'm using Cataclysm 5.1 stable and the Elementalx kernel. I can't get poweramp to change tracks when I long press the volume up/down.
I believe I've properly configured the settings in poweramp and cataclysm but holding the volume rocker will just increase the volume. Any ideas? I need this for commuting around the city.
Do you think it could be a problem with ElementalX and the wake settings during AROMA install?

Same here.. using poweramp player.. no track is change if long press the volume rocker.. tried all settings..
It's the poweramp itself not being too friendly with lollipop..

So, I actually found the problem with poweramp... it was the "ambient display" mod that was causing the problem. Reflashed the rom without the mod and it seems to function properly now!

Just curious if you could have installed a mod that caused this problem. The ambient display mod modified the systemUI and framework.res. Not sure which one broke poweramp but perhaps your problem could lay there?
