I have 2 apps installed, WhatsApp and Ring Doorbell that are not giving me sound notifications. For me the volume on this device is not very loud. I work in a noisy environment and need loud volume. My last phone (Note 5) I did that sound mod changing the volume xml file and used very loud notification sounds (mp3) and it was perfect. So I took those sound files from the Note and put them into the Mi 10 Ultra in Ringtones folder and set them. Since then I get no sound notifications.
I did some digging and found an app 'Hidden Settings for MIUI' and set it to 'play sounds', but that didn't fix the issue either. I'm completely new to MIUI and am all out of ideas. Its strange, but when I open the phone, the WhatsApp notification sound beeps to let me know I have a message, but I have to open the phone, if its sitting in my pocket I get no notification. Ring Doorbell is not working at all as far as notifications go. Nothing. If someone who knows MIUI could give me some help it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: shouldn't have wasted my time
That's it for me. SIM out and back to my Note 5. Great phone but the software is atrocious, if I had of known the nightmare this would be I wouldn't have bought this phone. So now it goes back into its box where it will stay, 6 months 1 year I don't care, until there is an alternative to using this absolute mess that MIUI is. A real shame, but something as simple as a couple of apps really is the deal breaker for me. Maybe I'll sell it? Global ROM? Who knows ....but for now its a useless device that can't even run a couple of apps? That is as bad as it gets. Its privacy settings are the worst I have ever seen. Disguised as 'protecting you' but in reality its the other way around. If I wanted to be locked out and locked in and locked down I would have bought an Apple iPhone. Xiaomi makes good phones, but their MIUI software is the worst I have ever seen. I would not recommend anyone buy this device.
I actually was facing this problem and found out a fix. You just have to turn vibration on. For some reason some apps don't make a sound if it doesn't have vibration on for notifications.

I have Ring doorbell and Whatsapp working (sort of) as sometimes they are delayed.
I had to change settings/notifications/ring and set rules for notification as important and also make sure all notification settings are on
Then fo to settings/apps/manage apps/ring and make sure Autostart is on and set permissions to make sure the bottom 4 are set to green ticked. Then make sure restrict data usage set to WLAN and Mobile data and then set Battery Saver to No restrictions.
Hopefully it will work after that. Do similar things to other apps that may not be making notifications correctly.
PS I'm using China ROM
So I had this issue and figured out a sure way to get sound notifications working.
You just have to turn vibration on in the subtype of notification for said specific app. If you don't want vibration on all notifications for that specific app turn it off otherwise.
Here is the thing that helped me with the same notification issue! Just google "xiaomi mi 10 ultra notifications" and in the top 5 links you'll probably find an article from:
theunpopulartraveller. It explains the settings, and they need to be accessed by pressing and holding the app icon ^ app info.
Don't give up, try and you'll get the sounds from needed apps back. And ye, actually now I find the way Xiaomi did it much more convenient: I just turned on notifications for 2 apps, and all the rest are silent, while previously I had to turn off all the rest of the apps (much more than 2, definitely) not to get disturbed by all the bull****.

I have noticed this bug on my Atom with O2 Plus and need confirmation from other users before I try to feedback to their support.
I have found that my Atom intermittently does not sound Notifications and Alarms. Couldn't figure why for awhile then I discovered this workaround :
1.
Using O2 Plus, switch profile to Silent. You will notice speaker icon on the top bar shows muted.
2.
Switch profile back to Normal. The icon at the top bar now shows the speaker as ON (but actually notifications and remoinders will now fail i.e. not sounding)
3.
Go to Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications
On the Event drop down, select reminders
4.
You will see your notification alarm sound with a "test play" button.
Hit the test play button a couple of times, then wait a few seconds.
5.
You will mysteriously see the speaker status in the top bar change to MUTE !!! Click on it, turn speaker back on, close all the windows. Your notifications will now sound correctly at the appointed alarms and calendar times.
It seems the O2 Plus profile when switching back from silent to normal does not do a full job in turning on the notification sounds, just system sound or something like that.
If you carry out this procedure everytime you switch your profile you will no longer have missing / silent notifications !
Can other users confirm this bug / phenomenon ?
Anyone able to write a simple proggy or script to do the above procedure automatically ?
Haven't noticed it before, and I haven't missed any notifications, but you're right.
yeah i noticed this!!!THANKS FOR THE FIX!
just to add.besides notifications, you also lose screen taps when switching from different profiles.this apparently is not fixed by your solution.
I've noticed that, for some reason, during the day my notifications won't sound. The phone will vibrate but I have missed calls, SMS, emails, etc. because of this. The phone is DEFINITELY on loud and I am NOT changing the volume in pocket (it happens with or without case). Everytime it happens, I checked my volume and it is all the way up.
Any ideas? PS - happens on any ROM

I had a similar issue that turned out to be due to my own mis-setting of CyanogenMod's quiet hours <.< 12PM is different than 12AM.
In your case it sounds like there is a setting somewhere that is preventing there from being a notification sound. Do you use stock messaging and gmail? Go into the settings for those applications (stock or non) and check to make sure its set correctly. Has this always been true? Have you tried doing a full factory reset? It sucks but its the best way to gauge whether or not you are experiencing a setting issue or if its really a hardware issue. Do your calls ring?

I appreciate the help; I'll check quiet hours. As I stated, calls have the same problem. Notifications are definitely properly configured in their respective apps because I get the sounds sometimes.

In your Sound -> Volume Make sur ethe "Use incoming call volume for notificatons" radio is ticked. Turn ringer all the way up and see if you can hear your notifications.
Hello,
I noticed that push notifications from third party apps do not make a sound or vibrate. Is there some way to make them do that (or is that something the third party app has to force?)? As it is right now, push notifications are useless for me, most of the time as I don't notice them when the phone is in my pocket...
Err.. Dude, only if you set to not vibrate. Push notifications, actually, vibrates a lot. And though I hate that, there is a sound too. The same sound to all apps, still, it is a sound.

If you're not aware of this, There is a setting under Setting -> ringtones+sounds -> All other notifications.
By checking this option, you can receive sound or/and vibrate for all apps notification accordingly.
Yes, of course most of the third party apps will have the option to select either sound/vibrate (like IM+). If they don't have, alert will be done according to your settings under ringtones+sounds.
I'm getting sound/vibrate alerts from my apps. Are you referring to this or something else??
oh, I have disabled this option because this results in sounds on pretty much anything. Error message -> Sound, I will give this a whirl maybe it's what I need to to :-/
EDIT: Indeed, enabling this setting makes toast notifications make a sound and vibrate, but it also makes system notifications make the annoying default.wav sound. I have, however, disabled this sound now using the registry so I have the best of both worlds.
That's great! But I've live with annoying system notification since my device is just dev unlocked.

You would think just by using the rocker, you could cause the phone to be quiet by moving it to the vibrate or silent position. Or by pushing the power off, and going to silent mode. However certain pre-installed apps seem to over-ride this function. The worry is that other apps are not silent either? I just can't trust the phone. Examples:
I didn't realize that the Google maps software was running in the background, and it complained audibly that it had lost the 'data connection'. I had turned the phone on silent ,and still the phone started speaking when I didn't want it to.
The camera app also has a shutter sound feature, of course. I didn't think about it. Nor did I worry about it, because it was in Silent mode, right? But it also still made shutter noise...?!. in silent mode!
I have investigated different widgets, and a couple of apps. Currently I have installed, 'Silent Toggle Widget' - It is neat, for what it does, but it does not solve my problem.
Help. How do I make my phone to stop talking and behave!

There doesn't seem to be any way to have the phone shut up. I do note that if you put it on Silent Mode it won't chime when powering on or off. But that doesn't help for screen unlock chimes, or the camera shutter (I spent half an hour looking for an option in camera to turn off shutter sounds. There is none. I just use a different camera now.) even whatsapp chimes when it feels like it in silent mode.
There seems to be some really strange audio issues with this phone. For example, I can't figure out where the default notification sounds are.
And in the Messaging app, it wont allow me to set the notification I want to use to override the global notification. It just doesn't see it for some reason.
Hopefully these issues will be resolved if we ever get a cyanogen port for this device.
hi, currently on my HTC u11 which I got yesterday.. Was wondering is there a auto hide notifications when I'm playing games or idling? Espacily when I'm playing Pokemon Go or in ig, the boom sound will show up and it's quite annoying.. Even when listening to music.. Is there a way to disable that or just autohide the notifications bar when idle?
Edit: basically when there's sound on an app it, will pop up..
+1 with also like to know how to do this.

As far as I know, without compromising your security by unlocking the bootloader and such, to reprogram the inner workings of android system, the only way to rid ourselves of this little ahole that the HTC programmers are seemingly not allowed to let us get rid of...is to use Bluetooth. As I recall from my most recent wired headphones, it remains at that time.
So get a bluetooth speaker for every room you listen to music in, and a pair of bluetooth headphones and you all set
What I find MORE irritating is the inability to change the white a$$ notification on lock screen to transparent. I guessed a theme might solve it. But I don't know how to design the notification strip on a theme. All I ever done was just set icons and wallpaper and stuff.
