LG G4 volume issue

Recently I realized I am not hearing my notification sounds. The icons are popping up but no sound. I realized it's because when I turn my ringtone volume off the notification volume goes off also so they are not 2 separate volumes any more and I thought they used be? Can someone clarify this for me please. Mary

Unless the manufacturer changes the code and separates them again, the ringtone volume for calls and the volume for notifications tones were merged in either Android ICS or KitKat versions of the OS. The G4 should be running either Lollipop or Marshmallow.

Ok I have had marshmallow for a while now. I could have sworn up until last week they were 2 separate things as I have my ringtone off a lot. I will chalk it up to old age and remembering wrong. Mary

They are still separate. And each can be increased decreased independent of the others.

Ok so I am not going crazy, thanks. I remember when they changed it but I was sure they changed it back and I thought it worked that way up until last week for me. The first poster must be having the same problem as me then If theirs doesn't work. When I turn the ringtone off the 2 under it also mute and you can't unmute them while the ringtone is off. With the ringtone on then the 2 under it can be adjusted separately. The last one works independent and is not affected. I will go see if anyone at android central is having the same problem and has a solution. Only thing I tried was a reboot. Mary
