On 6.0, how to set DnD during work hours but allow music/podcast apps?! - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do Not Disturb has three options:
Total Silence
Alarms Only
Priority Only
None of these options offers the ability to set calls and texts to vibrate but allow you to continue listening to a music or podcasts app.
For example: I work 9am-6pm, so I want my DnD hours to be 8:50am-6:10pm. However, I'm often still driving to work from 8:50-9am. My music apps won't play any sound after 8:50. They will continue to "play" but be muted.
Has anyone else resolved this? I've thought about using Tasker, but this means I have to manually set the following Audio actions: alarm volume, bt voice volume, dtmf volume, haptic feedback, in-call volume, media volume, notification volume, ringer volume, sound effects, system volume, etc.
Another example: I want my phone to be vibrate-only while I'm at work, but I want to be able to play YouTube videos and hear them on my lunch break without manually changing my DnD settings.

When your phone is on vibrate, media volume is unaffected. Dnd affects all volume. It sound like you might want to do some Tasker profiles for vibrate.

Ring/Text Volume when wearing Headphones WAY TO LOUD!

There I am listening to some cool tunes with my G2 and headphones. All of a sudden my ringtone BLASTS out in my headphones as someone is calling.
Can anyone advise how to have the ringtone sound at low volume when wearing 'phones, whilst leaving the ringtone at it's normal level when headphones aren't plugged in?
I could adjust the ring volume manually each time but surely there is an easier way.

Having the familiar problem that notifications sounds are played louder than ring sounds - always!
If i worked in HTC's R&D department, i'd be such a pain in the ar*e, as i'd never let any of this get through to the general public!
Who's testing this stuff?! Monkeys?!!

Go to Settings, Sound & Display and you will find that you can set the volume of Media, Ringtone and Notifications separately (Ringtones and Notifications are under Ringer Volume).
Alternatively, try Toggle Settings from the Market. You can set the volume of Ringtones, Alarms, Media and Notifications independently for each profile, and create a Headset profile which will turn up the Media volume and turn down the others. Unfortunately it is not possible to create an automatic Headset profile so you would still have to select the profile manually.

Annoying Volume Levels

I have 15 "levels" of media volume, but only 7 for ringer and notifications? Level 1 of media volume is EXACTLY how loud I want my ringers and notifications to play when I am at my desk at work, but level 1 of ringer/notifications is far too loud. This really bothers me. I guess I need to edit all my notifications and ringtones to be naturally more quiet.

[Q]Question about ring tones during music playing

I have a focus flash Mi7Rom
I would like to know if anyone has the same issue.
In Vibrate mode, when you are listening music with a headphone and someone call you, the music will not fade out. You can feel the vibration but no ringtone being played.
In Ring+vibrate mode, under the same situation, music will fade out and ringtone is playing from both headphone and the phone speaker.
Is there anyway to change the setting in vibrate mode where music will fade out with ringtone play when call is coming?
If my phone is in my jacket and someone call me when I was listening music, i would missed that call.
Same things apply to SMS. No notification sound in vibrate mode.
I'm not sure why you think this is a problem. The phone is not supposed to play audio notifications in vibrate mode. If you want the phone to play audio notifications or "ring" then use the ring + vibrate mode. As you mentioned in your post that mode does exactly what you need.
Also, as of now WP7 does not have a mode which plays back audio notifications only through the line out and not through the phone speaker.
Many times I have my phone is in my jacket that I couldn't feel the vibration
If the phone would fade out the music and play my ringtone, then I could have answered those missed calls.
coming from IOS, it's kinda inconvenient.

[Q] Notification are very quiet

notification are very quiet on my nexus 7. even when they are turned up completely.
however when watching movies or listening to music, its loud. its only the notifications. is this normal?
In Settings > Sound > Volumes verify Notifications is at max. If so, try another notification sound. I use Mira and it has good volume.

[Q] Volume issues

I like to use a mp3 for notifications and for my ringtone, but when I choose a sound file it is WAY too loud, even on the lowest setting right before vibrate. Is there a way to globally reduce the sound volume?
