Change the term "Ringtone volume" in Settings

It is confusingly named as Ringtone volume, although it affects all the sounds (excluding media playback). It is found in
Settings > System > Sound & Feedback and
Settings > System > Ambience and note also,
the volume rocker / button controls these sounds when not playing media.
Curiosity as an use case, if needed to clarify this bug among the versatile Ambience issues: I modify an ambience to have a silent ringtone but a normal sms sound. By adjusting the volume slider I accidentally mute also the sms sound.
Then you choose a volume for the tones and set an action for calls -> No sound. Now your phone doesn't ring, but you hear the sms. :)

JoHe ( 2015-09-25 21:39:45 +0200 )edit@JoHe, that's true. System sounds would be better as it covers more.
raketti ( 2015-09-25 21:46:44 +0200 )editI would call it Notification sounds, because the term "system sounds" is already used for things like low battery warnings in the settings (selectable in the section "feedback" of the sounds settings menu)
