Hey guys,
I have noticed that my email notification sound cuts off the last second or so when the phone is in standby. Does anyone know what is causing this or how I can fix it? It is really annoying.
Thanks
I now know this isn't just me. A friend with the same device also has this problem. It is very irritating. Surely we aren't the only two?
Know what's more irritating? Spontaneous no-ring tone (silent) incoming phone calls. That's some bull****.

Ouch, that sounds terrible. I haven't experienced that yet, luckily. I only experience the broken up email sound when in standby. It doesn't occur when the phone is charging, however. So annoying.
are you using a custom sound for e-mail like an mp3 file and is it on your sd card?

No. Just one of the built in alert sounds. To be exact i am using the "Alert-Guitar2" notification sound which is on the device itself, not sd card. I have also noticed that when I bring the phone out of standby, the missing few seconds of the alert are then heard.
When my phone advises of a notification the sound is very low, is anybody else experience this ?
Volume is loud enough for music and youtube vids, it's just the notification sound seems to be quite quiet.

Try to change the notification sound. Maybe the one you use is low pitch. That's usually the case with default HTC sounds. use a custom mp3 and see the difference.
to start off, i tried using search bar before posting but did not find any, my concern is, most of the time that i play songs or play movies/videos that i downloaded from my laptop, the sound seems to be laggy in loudspeaker mode, its slowing down, but if I'm using headset, sound is okay..

Ringtone
Don't intend hijacking the thread, but while we are on the topic of the loudspeaker, what is the most "effective" ringtone (custom, or perhaps any other that you guys use), that is easy to hear, even at crowded places.
I ask this because I have turned off the vibrate mode on ALL notifications/calls.

that's fine, my answer will be, it varies on every person.. as for me the sense ringtone is fine even in crowded places. but you can always try and test some tones, you can download zedge, they have tones of tones to offer, all you have to do is try them, you dont have to download them, you can just listen to the samples first.
curious to see if anyone has heard any sound coming from their Moto 360? I ask b/c I have not heard anything aside from the vibration when receiving a text/e-mail, and I see a "mute" option when pulling down.
thanks!

Good question, maybe the mute is for when you have bluetooth headset or to mute notifications?

It has no speaker, so it makes no sound. The mute option keeps notifications from showing on your watch screen.

As above. It has no speaker. Muting hides the cards you see on your watch so you always see the clock face unless you tap or swipe up.
thanks for the responses all - I guess if I wanted to mute the cards, then I can do so via the app on my phone. just thought that if you show a picture of a bell, that usually means a sound of some sort.
i guess it's interesting that the watch has a mic, but no speaker.

Well it vibrates, so you dont need a speaker, and since it's tied to your phone your phone could always make the sound. You wouldnt want them both beeping would you?
Well, I don't keep my phone on me at all times. I often times leave outside my bedroom.

right - plus it's not unprecedented to have watches emit sound.
I as well as many other previous Nexus 6p owners have been noticing that ringtones / notifications only come out of the bottom speaker of the Pixel 2 XL. The irony of this is that any app besides the "Settings" app has all sound coming out of both speakers. Is there a program / workaround anyone knows of? I don't care if I have to root my phone; I want to use my dual front facing speakers!
Thanks,
~Mike
Too bad this apparently is not considered a bug, its just how its suposed to work. In my opinion its pretty dumb not to allow both speakers on incoming calls/notifications from Google.
I'm getting sounds out of both speakers when my phone rings. Not sure if this happened before I updated to 8.1, but I don't think so. Tested it with more than one ringtone, stock and custom. Now, my problem is the screen won't come on when the phone rings. I hope an update to the phone app fixes this soon.
Yes my also only the bottom one firing. Any solution?
Bumping this up, any solution?
Can someone please make a mod to enable dual speakers for ringtones?
Currently.. i am studying about sound mod on pixel 2 oreo 8.1.
My main objective is to fix the crackling issue.. btw.. i will look into this one too

I use a Tasker profile to get around this issue. Basically, I monitor the status of calls, and when the phone is ringing, I play my ringtone as media. Then as soon as the call is answered or ignored (offhook or idle), the exit task stops the media. I just set my actual ringtone in settings to "none". Other than that, it behaves exactly like a ringtone should. My task also matches the media volume to the ringtone volume while ringing, then restores the previous media volume setting. That way, if your phone is on vibrate, it won't still ring out loud. I can do a detailed write up on how I did it if anyone needs it.

That sounds like a great idea that I'd like to try. Can you please share that profile?
Like I said in other posts, sound does come out of both speakers with calls and notifications. When you're choosing a sound in settings, it does indeed only come out of the bottom speaker. I can't believe I'm the only one who has sounds coming out of both speakers when a call comes in. I've tested it with multiple sounds, too.

Confused with what you are saying. Are you saying that when you choose a ringtone in settings you no longer have it coming out of only the bottom speaker?

Yes. It only comes out of the bottom speaker when I'm picking the sound. When someone calls, I hear it from both speakers. I've tried this with both custom and system sounds.

I have attached my prj.xml I have literally never shared a Tasker project so I hope this is sufficient! If you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks a lot! I've only used profiles and tasks in Tasker before, but your project imported just fine. All I had to do was change your task's ringtone to mine and set my phone's ringtone to none. Now to wait for someone to call me.

Yes it does and it's great! I figured out how to test it by calling my cell phone from Google Voice/Hangouts on my PC.

Ring Volume not loud enough

ccoulterjg1 - please provide detailed instructions on how to get tasker profile to resolve the issue of the ring volume using the ring speaker configuration instead of the media speaker configuration, which should resolve the issue, as media volume is quite loud and ring volume is not (I need to be able to hear my phone ring when I am sleeping, and on-call).
