Alarm volume (android settings) set to max after alarm #57

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Set an alarm in Alarm Klock, with volume less than 100% (e.g. 20%)
2.After the alarm is triggered, the alarm volume (Android 
Settings->Sound->Volume) shown will be 100%

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The alarm volume (Android settings) should not be changed I suppose.  The 
Android alarm volume doesn't seems to affect Alarm Klock at all, but I assume 
if other apps are using this settings, then it maybe a problem.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 1.6

This is by design.  Alarm Klock uses a dynamically set volume when playing an 
alarm (to allow for a slow increase in volume).  This is done by setting the 
alarm volume channel to max, and then slowly increasing the volume of the media 
player as the alarm is triggering.  The alternative would be to set the media 
volume to max and slowly increase the alarm channel.  The former seems less 
intrusive, since most people won't be using more than one alarm, but there are 
lots of applications that use the media player channel.

Thanks for your explanation.  It make sense if one have to choose between the 
media volume and alarm volume, most will pick to have the alarm volume channel 
set to max.  

However, would that be possible for the alarm to read & store the alarm level 
right before the alarm is set off, and reset it right after the alarm is 
stopped?  That would solve the problem completely.

While this is my only alarm application, I suppose there are many who will have 
other alarm app (e.g. stopwatch-type app, in which the functionality isn't 
provided in this app) who will use the android alarm volume.
