I was wondering if it's possible to adjust the sound level independently for:
I mean each one should have their own volume level and control slider.

You are right, we still lack volume control for all the different events.
Additionally, volume should be controlled by the volume rocker based on context to keep the ui as light-weight as possible.
[As of 2.1.3 this is only solved for Speaker- or Ringing Volume]
This was more or less standard with all Nokia phones.
I think individual sound levels for each alarm sounds good and it should also include vibration control.
I personally love the way the volume rocker works in Jolla, it never adjusts ringtone volume. I had Android phones for some years and I never liked the fact that almost every time my phone rang it was at different volume. I understand adjusting music volume pretty often, but why would I want to constantly change my ringtone volume except when I want to completely mute it?

My first ever mobile phone used the volume buttons in a context sensitive way:
Jolla does not have a keyboard, let alone a keyboard cover. But it has numerous screens, some of them with a disputable use. They can be made useful for context sensitive volume adjustment. For example,
These are just ideas, feel free to improve them.

https://github.com/GeorgeFilipkin/pulsemixer works just fine for that. Even Android apps show up as aliendalvik_audio_glue.
The only downside is that pulsemixer is a CLI application and we want this as core OS functionality. So see it more as a PoC than a real solution.

With pulseaudio it should be possible although it isn't trivial at all as stated below. If there is a good developer with Dbus/Pulseaudio knowledge it should be feasible. I would really like to help on such projects but I just don't know enough:

I think theoretically that should be possible. Sailfish OS uses the Pulseaudio sound system which supports the level adjustment of individual sound streams. The question is, how this feature can be implemented in Sailfish OS in a user friendly way, because having multiple control slider could be quite distracting.
wanderer ( 2015-01-30 10:21:19 +0200 )editThis is really needed. I was in bus yesterday and some sounds are deafening with earbuds. For example keyboard typing and communi-sailfish (IRC client) highlight sounds. Ringtone was also very loud.
In addition to idependent system sound level options, could the sounds be (optinally) automatically set to low volume when earbuds (probably most commonly used speakers) are plugged in? This would help with not hurting ears.
I originally talked about this here which was duplicate.
Mikaela ( 2015-02-01 11:19:34 +0200 )editThis is something that is definitely needed. Especially the alarm clock needs its own volume and vibration control. I do not want to wake up on the vibration sound of the phone, but I do want it to vibrate for incoming calls, for example. Moreover, the volume for alarm clock is too loud for the silent bedroom, whereas during the day ringtone must be louder.

Spam Hunter ( 2017-10-16 13:09:09 +0200 )editI agree this is a functionality that is badly needed.
I usually have the ring tone set quite loud but want SMS and email notifications not to be as intrusive.
