For some reason, every time I receive a notification in a media-playing app (Spotify, Youtube, etc), I hear the notification sound, which then mutes my media entirely. Even though the video is still playing in the background, there is no sound.
Clicking the volume buttons doesn't bring the volume back, and I have to either exit out of the video and wait several seconds, or exit out of the app and replay the media for it to make sound again.
Everytime I get a notification I hear the sound in the background but it fades out and becomes silent again.
I haven't found anyone encountering this issue, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas? I've done everything short of a factory reset, but I think I might have to do that soon.
Update: If I put the notification sound on silent or vibrate, the problem disappears.

Most of the time I like having the notification ringtone ding when i get an email or text message. however, it is annyoing when listening to music because it completely stops the music, beeps, then it continues to play.
anyway to disable it during the music playing or have it do it "ontop" of the background audio?
i'd hate to have to editsettings and disable it everytime i decide to listen to a song or two. then do settings and enable when i'm done.
I get so many emails it may do it 3 or 4 times in each song.. so annoying!

using the application "tasker" you could probably make profile that sets your notification sounds to silent and vibrate while music is playing and then set the volume back up when you close the music app.
Now that my Motorola Defy with f/w 2.51.1 is finally rootable I've killed all the annoying sounds in the system/media/audio/ui folder.
But there's one annoying sound that escaped: the system beep.
This beep sounds whenever I press a volume button when there's no media player or call active.
So when I want to reduce the volume of my phone (without going into silent mode), turning the sound down three notches generates three beeps. When I shoot a picture, zooming in three levels generates three beeps, even with the camera shutter sound disabled. Removing a USB cable also makes my phone beep.
This beep doesn't come from any sound file in the system/media/audio folder, and turning the system or notification volume down to zero doesn't silence it. Maybe the system beep is generated by a system app running in the background?
Question: is there a way to disable this system beep? (No, not by putting the entire phone in silent mode.)
pls!
Bump up!
PPL - please help this dude (and me - because i also hate this sound ^_^)
Maybe someone have some idea?
...anything? anyone?
Rly no way to get rid of it?
same here i hate the sound
Solved by software
The program name is "Android Assistant" Setting the slider "system volume" to zero removes the sound. The vibration still remains, but not so annoying.
Doesn't work. Volume buttons keep beeping.
I've been searching around the web and have not found an answer to this problem. Regardless of the phone being on silent, vibrate, or even do not disturb, text notifications still interrupt the music that is playing. It happens with Google Play Music, Pandora, and Spotify.
I downloaded a couple apps to manage media and notification volumes individually, but one didn't work at all, and the other simply muted the notification but the music still lowers for a second, as if the notification is still occuring.
Can anyone help me out? This is quite frustrating.
Please, and thank you for your time.
Update: I noticed this only occurs with a headset plugged in or connected via Bluetooth. When using the phone's speakers for music playback, notifications do not interrupt the music.
Workaround: I managed to find a slightly more bearable solution. Here is basically what I did.
1 - Download third party texting app for play store.
2 - Assign new text app as default.
3 - Go to Settings -> Apps, find stock messaging app, and disable all notification settings.
4 - Modify new text app notifications to vibrate only.
I don't know if some of these steps are excessive/unnecessary, but I'm tired of tinkering around so much, so I'm settling here. I hope this can help someone that finds themselves in the same situation. Again, I do not claim this to be the best solution; just slightly less bad.
I posted yesterday about the facebook app being unable to retain any notification sound I've set for it once the app has been stopped. Well, there is another issue on the same phone. It may be related - I'm not sure. This OS is Android 7.0 (Nougat). The symptoms are below.
Two-symptom issue:
1) The 'call end tone' (which sounds like a pingy "bloop") cannot be disabled. The toggle slider can be turned off at Dialer > Settings > Call Alerts > Call end tone, but the tone still fires after each call disconnect.
2) The 'call end tone' not only fires after every phone call disconnect. But strangely, it also fires after any notification sound from another app has fired. For example, when Tapatalk or Facebook fire off a new message alert notification sound, the call end tone fires immediately afterwards. I also notice that each time the call end tone fires, a slash mark momentarily appears through the speaker icon on the notification strip.
I've tried wiping the cache partition and, as mentioned, toggling off all call alert settings. But none of that has worked. And by the way, this is the installation of Nougat that was on my S7 edge when I received it back from Samsung's repair center a few weeks ago. I'm hoping to avoid doing a factory reset. It looks like that may be the next step, though. Any thoughts?
Okay, I was wrong. It's not the 'call end tone' that I'm hearing at all. Instead, it's the same sound that fires when you change from silent or vibrate mode to audible mode. That little "bloop" is what's firing after every notification sound. I've checked and it's the following file: /system/media/audio/ui/TW_Silent_mode_off.ogg ... I'm not rooted so I can't remove or rename it.
So that's why the 'call end tone' toggle slider under Call Alerts has no effect on the little "bloop" sound. I only thought it was the 'call end tone' because it always fires when a call disconnects. But it's apparently just doing the same thing it does when each notification sound fires. Whatever the root cause, upon each sound event it seems to send a signal to briefly mute the speaker (hence the slash mark across the speaker icon for a split-second) and then immediately un-mutes it again. But I have no clue why. I thought it might have something to do with SoundAssistant -which I installed several days ago- but uninstalling it makes no difference. So I'm stumped.
I'm open for any ideas. The 'bloop' after every notification sound and call disconnect is driving me nuts. I'll probably do a factory reset if no one can think of anything else.
I've identified the cause. It's an app that normalizes the ringtone level, called 'Disable Increasing Ring.' When I toggle off its normalization mode, the problem is gone. The reason I even installed the app is because of the forced ascending ring volume for incoming calls that's imposed by Android 7.0. In my view, there's simply no excuse for Google/Samsung not to provide users an option of whether or not they want ringtone streams to ascend from weak to a normal volume level. Forcing that sort of thing upon everyone seems ridiculous. And of course it caused this headache for me. But it's their system... so oh well.
I use a bluetooth headset almost all of the time. Sometimes, the volume of the notification sound gets very quiet. Inaudible, really, unless I turn up the headset volume and the ring and notification volume slider to the maximum volumes. Even at the maximum volume settings, I can barely hear the notification sounds. I am able to reproduce the problem by going into the settings and changing the default notification sounds. I can just keep selecting different sounds, listening to the previews and suddenly, the volume will go quiet.
I am totally stock, not unlocked or rooted in any way. It was happening on Android 11 and is still happening on Android 12. Can anyone help me fix this problem?
