incoming ring and text volume very low!

[charliebrownsma]

hi, have recently noticed that when i lower volume level for music,video,games,other media, it also reduces my ringtone and notification volume level too! (even though the slider bar level is on max for ringtones,notifications.) so if for e.g i lower video volume on youtube etc, it takes my incoming call and text volume down too! this never use to happen and only noticed when i saw led missed call,text, flashing.try your own z3c?

settings-

sound-

volumes-

music,video,etc (on low)-

ringtone&notification(max)

ok.

now check incoming call,text volume (very low on mine) so i have to reset music,video,games etc to max to hear incoming calls,texts but i dont want max volume for music,video,,,

b.t.w I'm still on kitkat 4.4.4 but as i said the volume levels could be individually adjusted since out of box.

now strange thing is my mate has the xperia sp and i checked his yesterday and he had same issue (jellybean) and because his volume level on video,games etc is low but max on ringtone,text he too misses calls and texts! (unless of course he sets max volume on the video,games). also using volume on side of phone has no effect either.

any ideas?

cheers.

just came across this comment on other topic and realised that although sounded low on preview it was ok on actual incoming call and text volume! so happy again!

When you preview a ringtone it's played as media audio,,,
