This is potentially a dumb sounding question but I googled and searched here without finding the answer. There are 4 modes for audio in the selector within the cm10/aokp notification menus. The ones I know are:
Sound on
Sound off
Vibrate
Anyone know what the pipe (vertical line) + speaker icon means?

Hi All
Perhaps a dopey question, but...
My TP2 has an odd habit of changing the system volume by itself. I set it to 100% and some time later, i find it changed to 40%. I thought it might be an app (MP3 player or something) tethered to the sys volume, but no - it seems to be a quirk.
I do find that sometimes i just can't toggle the volume for the earpiece quite loud enough on some calls using the side volume rocker - for all else on this standard ROM it is just fine.
So, i wondered f there was a reg tweak to slightly increase just the earpiece volume?
Obviously it would still be relieant on the sys vol, but could be a little louder?
Anyone heard of something specifically for the TP2?
Cheers to all

Hi all,
I have my TP2 on Voda. I'm using SPB instead of TF.
If I'm in a call and I turn down the earpiece, the volume also goes down on the phone ringer. So I miss calls.
I'm sure I found a setting for this but I swaer I've spent the last two hours trying everything, to no avail.
Please can anybody help?
Tx.
must be something strange you installed - these are two separate volume settings, you should be able to have in-call at lowest, and any other ring-volume.
Go into the Manila Sound Settings dialog, there is a setting in there to enable/disable linked volume.
linked volume is system/ringing - it does not link in-call volume as well - I think - but go ahead and try.
Searched around, can't seem to find a solution to this puzzling problem..
I flashed EnergyROM on my Tilt2, everthing was fine for about 2 weeks. Then, one gloomy day, notifications/alarms just stopped ringing. I get no audio notification when email/sms arrive. Also, when I use the hardware volume buttons on tilt and try to adjust the volume - there is no sound when I do (you know that little "bell" sound when you change volume? it's not there).
Regular windows notification settings are all there, manila's settings are all set (volume is at 100%)..
What still works is ringtones and playing music/videos. Also, I do hear a ringtone when I'm getting a call.
It may be something minor.. any ideas?
The only thing I really don't like about the Galaxy S4 is that the vibration is fairly weak. Working in an office I need to have my phoen on vibrate as a colorful ringtone is simply not an option. But I miss text messages and phone calls on occasion because I just don't feel the phone vibrating in my pocket.
Heck even if I have it laying on a nearby table sometimes I still don't hear it vibrating.
I have come up with a sollution acceptable work around to this issue!
I made a vibration sound as my ring tone. So now when the phone vibrates it also goes BzzzBzzzBzzz out of the speaker.
It's barely loud enough to be heard by anyone but you if it's in your pocket. If anyone else does hear it, it still just sounds like a normal vibrating phone. No obnoxious ringtone.
If you want to try this out I've included 3 WAV files in the attached zip.
- Base Vibration Sound.wav - This is the sound file I used as a base for the final ringtones I made. I have scoured the internet looking for vibration sounds. This one is the one that sounded most like an actual vibrating phone. Use this file as your source if you want to try this technique out but don't like the final products I created.
- Ringer Vibration.wav - I added some bass and increased the volume, and extended the length of the original source file so make a loud, long, steady vibration sound that is roughly the length of a normal incoming call vibration.
- SMS Vibration.wav - Same bass and volume changes as the Ringer Vibration, but it's 3 short bursts insead of one long steady vibration. I did this because 3 short burts is how I've always set my my SMS vibration sequence. There are pauses between each vibration in the squence so you can hack up he file and change the vibration pattern as needed easily enough.
Hopefully this idea helps someone else.
Note, I still have the phone vibrate and ring in settings so it still vibrates. The vibration sound is jus in addition.
This is still a work in progress for me. So if you can improve on it please do and share your version here! If there are any real audiophile geeks out there who can make this sound really good, please share your talents! I am NOT an audio guy by any means. I just found a vibration sound file online and modded it with a little cutting and pasting and enhancement options using a free program called Audacity on Ubuntu. So if someone has and knows how to use high quality audio modification software to do this properly, by all means please show us what youv'e got!
My problem is that even the lowest volume setting proves to be way too loud for notifications. I searched for this problem and found that the app "light flow lite" (an xda app which primarily controls the flashing of the LED light) might help. It does have sound settings as well as light settings but I could not figure out how to set it so that my voice call ringer played a bit louder and my notifications played a bit softer.
I saw a setting to separate the ringer volume from the notification volume but when I did that I got no notification sound at all.
I guess I either need another way to handle this OR some very specific directions to do what I want to do with the Light Flow Lite app. I want a lower notification volume than the lowest setting and a bit louder ringer. The very lowest volume setting disturbs everyone around me. I realize I could look for a different sound and if I have to I will do that, I guess.
TIA
