Notification Channels in Android O - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

So I'm having a problem with setting a default notification sound and changing the sound of text messages, mail and even the sound of a screenshot taken.
Firstly I set the default sound to the Obscura.
Then I went and changed the sound of messages in Allo to the Pumice.
And then I went and checked the default sound and it's magically set to Pumice as well.
The same process as described above works on OnePlus 3 running Oreo.
I already did a factory reset, the phone is brand new (just got a free replacement unit).

Correct that is how it works at the moment. I know some guys are working on it to change that. HTC 's code seems limited in this right now

I have the same

Odd problem with new e-mail alert sound

So I am using Kavanas 6.1 ROM and have been for a few months with no problem.
I have been noticing that I am getting the "unread message alert" (kavana rom feature) 15 minutes after receiving my e-mail with out hearing my normal e-mail sound going off the moment I get it. This just started happening for no apparent reason. I havent installed any new apps or anything.
My MMS and SMS sounds are fine and they go off as normal. In "Settings" the e-mail alert sound is there and can be played. I shut my phone down and removed the battery for a few mins and retested it, still no alert sound when I receive my email. I then changed the e-mail alert sound to the same sound that I use for my SMS, retested, still no sound. Soft reset, still no sound. Shut down and removed battery for a few minutes, retested, still no sound.
I am stumped. I checked all my Settings for sounds and my profile and everything is normal. I even checked e-mail settings for some type of sounds options, even tho I was pretty sure there was none, and I was right, there is none.
I just dont get it... This ever happen to anyone else?

Sounds gone missing

Changed my default notification and ringtone sound to one that I downloaded. It plays fine when I select it in the Settings --> Sound --> Ringtone/Notification. However it does not play when I get a call or a TXT. And yes, my volume is up.
On a side note, I am so ticked that I cannot set the ringtone and notification volume levels independently!! I cant stand the wait for ROOT so we get some good ROMS

Maybe a dumb question, but have not installed any type of profile app right? I use profile apps so I can quickly change to different setups for night, meetings etc.
Well I do have Sound Manager installed. Since the ringtone and notifications is tied together right now, this app is mostly useless.
I did verify that sounds were turned up. Once I selected a sound that is included with the phone everything is fine. really a pain.

[Q] Sound Settings Problem

About a month ago I screwed up my phone and had to LGNPST it for the first time. I'm not even sure if this is the moment this problem appeared but it may have been the start of something. Before that, I was running a JB CM build with a GPS lock issue that I never got around to fix and decided to fix it before I flashed a Kit Kat rom. That lead to a bad stock-based flash which then lead to the LGNPST fix. I then flashed to a different stock-based rom, updated PRL and obtained a GPS lock, then flashed a few different roms before settling on the offical CM 11 rom.
Somewhere after the LGNPST I ran into problems with the sound volume settings being completely ignored and this issue appears across multiple roms. I'll have the settings set to silent and it'll still play some odd sound whenever I receive an sms. When I try to change the sounds, nothing plays when I am previewing the sounds and if I select one the settings will crash. The ringtone files do exist in /media/audio/ringtones and they play correctly in Apollo. I have also downloaded Zedge and used it for setting the sounds inside the settings screen and it does not play the sound when previewing and crashes when I select a sound. Setting the ringtone inside of the actual Zedge application does work for the notification ringtone, but does not work with phone ringtone (it does appear to be changed in settings, but no sound is played during calls). Furthermore, when I attempt to set the sound in Hangouts for either SMS or regular hangout messages, it does not change from "Silent" but does not show any crash messages or anything.
In a possibly related note, every time I flash a new rom it will get stuck on activation until I just skip it. However, data services work completely fine. I have no problems with making calls, 3G/LTE, sending and receiving sms including pictures.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Fulmics 6.1 missing notifications sound from NEXT SMS

I just installed Fulmics 6.1 onto Lg G3 D855/16GB.
All working nice except I lost notification sounds in Next SMS.
I don't get any sound when new ones arrives, if don't catch the screen that lights up for the sneak preview of SMS I miss the new SMS.
I tried to set the sound in both handcent > settings > notification as well as in Android settings > sound and notifications.
I am not in silent mode, yet notifications are still not playing sounds.
Any ideas?
To clarify things, I am not expecting this to be Fulmics causing this. More that now that I got both android 6 and fulmics 6.1 at the same time the GUI changed a lot and there might be other ways to adjust notification sound then what I have found.
I've tried all the settings I can think of.
I started out with Android settings, making sure notification sound was enabled.
Then I chose to set special sound for apps, and chose next sms.
To be certain I changed to the sound to a mp3 file in my download folder.
Still no sound.
Went into next sms > settings > All > Notification & Reminder > Notification settings > Notification Sound
Here I can see the sound has changed to myfile.mp3
Still no notification sounds.
Browse and google for answers and find a page telling me to reverse all things in sounds and notifications to NO SOUNDS. Well I tried, I even tried to follow the program and reboot for each change I made. After several reboots I eventually got to the part where I again chose to turn on notification sounds, and did the final reboot. Puh. STILL NO SOUND when I receive sms/txt.
I've almost pulled all my hair from my head in pure frustration, I can't walk around missing txt's because my stupid phone suddenly don't give me notifications. Try to tell that to your boss, no you see my phone don't give me audio notifications when you text me. Sure my boss wont buy into that.
Pls help.

Notification sounds for apps not staying set

One thing I have noticed on the 3 so far is, for many of my apps, the notification sound I set for it never plays. I always get the default phone notification sound for those apps.
When I go in the app to check or change it, its still on the the notification sound I picked in the first place.
Why are certain apps, which allow you to pick a different sound, only playing default sound, while others that I changed are playing that changed sound? For instance, Ive been using TweetCaster for over 5 years now. Always had the same notification tone set for it and it played perfectly on every phone before the P3XL. The file is still in the Audio file for Notifications as it should it. It plays the sound when I click it. But when an update for TC comes through, it just plays the default notification sound in the phone setting.
EDIT: After much searching, I finally found a thread on Reddit that explained how to do it. It's a way deeper dive than just the usual pool I was used to...
