Volume up/down "beep" sound

martinmrmus — Wed, 09 Mar 2016 16:53:44 GMT

Hi. Am I only one encounter with there's no "beep" sound while voluming volume up/down? It just shows volume slider, but no sound is notified.

I can confirm that I have the same bug, and also when you slide one of these volume sliders, it doesn't play preview sound as it did before.

Also when you receive phone call, sound comes only from the bottom speaker.

@mrnino @almirsahbaz I don't think that is a bug, it's how it should work. Let me find out more about this.

@alexdon

Untill 5.1.1 while using sliders of sound control "beep" sound or volumes were played. But since 6.0 there's nothing, that's why I'm asking.

And about only bottom speaker is playing during incoming call, I thing that top speaker is playing too but significantly lower. It'll be probaly from security reasons.

It is gone in Marshmallow and I think it's great! I can't imagine why someone would like to hear a beep when you switch from silent mode to normal. Also, the beep doesn't correlate with the volume of your actual ringtone, so no harm done here.

I'm glad too, just asking if it's fault on my side or it's intended :smileysmileywink:

@mrnino @downfall @almirsahbaz In previous Android™ versions you can hear a sound when you adjust the volume using the volume key. This sound is not present in Android™ 6.0. This is intentional and not a bug.

@alexdon

I'm experiencing something different with the sound.

For example, when I take screenshots, after first screenshot my phone doesn't reproduce shuttering sound, only after second screenshot I can hear that sound.

Same here

I can reproduce that, my guess is that it doesn't make any sound for the first screenshot as it might be done by accident if the power button is pressed. But let me try to find out more about this too.

The screenshot sound will be fixed in an upcoming update. @mrnino @almirsahbaz @em2evol @downfall

@alexdon Who says this is intentional? I don’t believe that! It’s a bug. One is supposed to hear a conformation beep to be able to adjust the volume to the desired level for current surroundings. To give one an indication of where the volume is at and if it is sufficient or not. I used it a lot to establish the ideal volume. Sony must fix this, I don't want to guess how load I set my volume!

@downfall Actually the beep volume does increase/decrease as you adjust the volume button which helps one to find the right volume for a specific scenario. Very useful indeed.

I agree, I think the volume adjust beep should be back. Why did they decide to take it out in Marshmallow? It is a really useful quality-of-life feature in my opinon..
