Cannot Change System Sound - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi!
I have a small wish:
I would like to avoid that people in my office hear when I dial a number in the sound Normal profile.
If I go to Settings/sounds and try to diminuish the System Volume (on the bottom of the screen) also the Rings volume will change?
If I use the Vibrate profile, fine no problem there is no sound. But that is not what I would like..
Maybe you have an Idea

Hey, if you use the volume rocker on the side you have the option to decrease the system volume and ring volume.
So decrease the volume on the rocker and then look at the top of the screen... click "System" and decrease the volume to zero.
Hope that helps

If you just wanna turn off the sound when dialing a number go to settings => personal => phone. There you you should find an option to change the behaviour when using th edial pad (nothing, vibrate, short sound etc)
May be this helps

in Homescreen - Phone / Options / Phone bookmark / Keypad: Off

Why are u starting the same threat 3 times ?!

Isn't there an easier way to change sound profile?

When changing sound profile I have to go to Settings - Sound - and choose my profile. The "old" HTC Home had a profile tab. Isn't there an easier/faster way to change sound profile?
Do you mean like click the volume up\down button on the left of the phone and select silent, vibrate or change the volume?
Even easier

Go to Start->Settings->System->Long Press End Key->choose: Set Vibrate/Ringer
Nothing easier possible, but the "Shaking" method explained elsewhere here.

Do a prolonged bottom right key press and a menu will come up with one of the options being vibrate mode or ringer mode (it is a toggle).
You can also set it such that the prolonged key press toggles the two modes, rather than bring up the menu.

System volume and In call volume - one and the same?

I noticed that despite changing in call volume settings and system volume settings, the volumes are linked together.
Has this always been the way? I seem to recall my WM6 phone (Hermes) remembering in call volumes and keeping it seperate from the system volume -but I may be wrong.
I want to lower my in call volume, but the hardware volume buttons don't seem to make that much of a differnce - and not to mention they adjust the system volume as well.
I have read through all the other volume related threads I can find. I think this is the first time someone actually wants to lower the diamond's earpiece volume!
Effectively you have 3 volumes. Unless you are in a call then the volume buttons only give you access to the system and ring volumes. As far as I know you can only adjust the in call volume in call (there will be a registry option also but I don't know where sorry).
Anyway when you start your call before you put the phone to your ear (and the screen goes off) press volume up or down and it will change your call volume.
I figured out what it was... it was due to me disabling the diamond phone skin.
You lose volume functionality.
And if the settings is "silent", even the music player, via earphones, is silent?

Can you elaborate?
I've disabled the Diamond skin yet I am able to independently adjust the in-call volume... in-call. System/ringer volume is adjustable at all other times.

If you disable the diamond dialer skin and have HTC volume control enabled you will not be able to alter the in call volume. To adjust in call volume using default windows dialer skin you also have to disable HTC volume control.
Ah, yes, I do seem to recall having disabled the HTC Volume too with DiamondTweak.

Hi guys,
I do not want to use "Diamond dialer Skin" because of the S2U2, so I have disable it. However, there is no way to alter the in call volume (I have activate and deactivate HTC volume control with Diamond Tweaker, but no way).
Any help?
Thanks in advance
No one has solve this trouble? It is making me crazy!
Why does the dialler skin interefere with S2U2?

Each time a call is incoming, in the first few seconds the dialler skin appears. After that, the normal S2U2 screen appears again (with "slide to answer"...). If you touch accidentally the option "Answer" of the dialler skin by accident in these few seconds, it will answer the call.
I have added something in the registry (to be honest, I can not remember right now) that it was supposed to fix this trouble, but no way...

Does that mean the volume buttons will no longer work during a call but you will get a volume adjuster on the screen...or will the volume buttons still change the in call volume. dont know about anyone else but I find the volume buttons a bit too fiddly and 'sunk' too far...probably nicer to look at though...
I mean that the volume buttons will not work any more. The only way they work in my Diamond is activating "Diamond Dialer Skin", but with this, I get the S2U2 problem...

And a big memory comsumption!!!!
I've disabled phone skin too... and have the same problem. Hard to find the good key in the registry!
Some help are welcome!
THX!

It is not a big problem, but it is making me crazy...
try this regkey
I maxed up my in call volume, and found this DWORD regkey to be changing to FFFFFFFF (8 F's hex value).
Can you try?
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides\SavedInCallVolume

Thank you very much for the answer.
Anyway, I do know how to configure the volume (I use a "Profiles" software that can adjust the volume). The point is to be able to change the in call volume during the call.
To be honest, I can hardly believe that no one has deactivate "Diamond Skin Phone" and had no trouble with this
I'm using the dialer skin, but when i am talking with someone, adjusting the volume up/down, it always reset it to lowest. Any advice?

You can separate System and Ring volumes too, from the same page.

Volume key changes media volume, not ringtone/notifcation volume

I didn't find anything with the search function, so here it goes:
Whenever you're on the homescreen with your One, and use the volume keys, normally my ringtone/notification volume changes, and I can make the phone go to silent/vibrate mode. If I played a game or used an other sound-using app, close it, and go back to the homescreen and try to change the volume again, it changes the media volumes. It's almost as if the audio process is still running and the One thinks it needs to change the media volume instead of ringtone/notification volume.
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? (Or is it a feature, and if so, how can change/fix it?)
Thanks

Press and hold the power button for 10 seconds (you will see the back/home buttons flash and a countdown) and it will do a full restart.
Cool... Someone is making an inquiry about operation of the volume button and you suggested a restart sequence?
Anyways! Try pressing once the volume button. A mini volume window should pop up there should be a button on the right corner. Pressing it will direct you to the complete volume settings window.

Thanks for your reply. Your solution is not exactly what I meant, first of all there is no button on the right corner when changing the media volume. Only when changing the notification/ringtone volume. Second of all I'm not sure I explained well enough what the problem is, so I'll try again:
Situation: A fresh rebooot. When you are on your home screen and change the volume, you'll change the volume of your notifications and ringtone. This is what I want and works fine, when you put the volume all the way down it will go to vibrate mode, or silent mode. Perfect.
Now when I played a few games or listened to some music, closed those apps and I am back on the homescreen. I change the volume with the volume keys but instead of changing the notification and ringtone volume I change the media volume. I can't set my One to vibrate or silent using the volume keys now. This is not what I want, since I want the behaviour as I described earlier.
If I now go to settings -> Sounds -> Volumes I can ofcourse change the volumes I want, but this is more actions than I want to, and apparently isn't necessary as well. Change the ringtone volume there, then going back to the homescreen and using volume keys again, it still changes the media volume, again, this is not what I want.
So the problem is that after playing games/music the volume keys won't revert back to changing the notification/ringtone sounds but in stead keeps changing the media keys.

Doesn't happen here. do you have an exact sequence of which games/music apps you have been using? It possible that one of them is not closing down properly, have you tried going to the app manager and seeing which programs are running then force closing possible culprits until you find which is giving the problem?

After trying to find the problem for a week I haven't come across an particular app or sequence before it happens. Force closing every possible running app that uses audio also doesn't revert back to notification sound changing. I'm out of ideas for now..
Yeah doesn't happen to me either and i'm on firmware 1.28 stock and urooted.
It's a feature not a bug

Try opening Recent Apps and swipe away the game.
Then try again.

I understand this question was posted months ago, but I too am having this exact issue with my One, and was curious if you ever found a solution. thanks
Same thing happens on my HTC one X. Only when i dismiss ALL apps from recent, it reverts back to normal...
thanks

I've seen the same issue with my Moto X now a year later. For me, the only fix has been the same that's referenced above--to go to the recent apps menu and swipe away the app that initiated the switch to controlling media volume as opposed to ringtone volume. Seems to work pretty well for me.
App is still active
Hey, I was having the exact same problem. It just started recently and I just figured it was because of a game (Real Racing 3). Even though I wasn't in the game, I guess it was still active in memory and keeping hold of the media output. I killed the app and my ringtone volume buttons work normally now.
