Bug Description

I noticed for last 2-3 days there is no sound notification for a new SMS, but there's a blinking green LED notification. Also in the indicator menu the envelope icon turns green and the new SMS is listed as usual. Things are working alright for Telegram, Gmail etc. (sound+LED+indicator menu).

Device: bq Aquaris E5 HD, Ubuntu 15.04 (OTA-9)

UPDATE: Screenshots get silent too.

On Meizu MX4 with OTA-9 installed, I have the green envelope OK, the vibration notification also works but there is no sound. Tried the following sounds; Amsterdam (Default), Mallet and Positive - all have the same outcome - no sound produced on a new SMS.

When you are in this state please check if other audio plays, like with the music app. If not this is probably bug #1542947 and a reboot should fix it.

On my MX4, then this is a permanent issue, that is, a reboot or forced-reboot (power button held for 10 seconds) does not clear it - opening Music and playing tracks, incoming calls and going into System Settings | Sound and selecting different sounds (Amsterdam, Positive, etc) all cause playing of the tune (with the stop icon at the bottom of the screen when in the System Settings | Sound screen).

It's just that when you leave the phone and an SMS comes in, it just vibrates and doesn't give any sound - it gives sound and vibration when a call comes in still.

Thanks Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan), other sounds (incoming call, music player, youtube on browser, notification from telegram, gmail etc.) were playing fine except the incoming SMS notification. Then I restarted the device and now sound notification for incoming SMS works again!
But I found something a bit abnormal. During these sound alerts (I tried SMS and Telegram for now), a very mild crackling noise is heard for a second (or a fraction of a second) before and after the actual alert tune. Something like Bug #1479758 . I don't remember hearing this noise previously.

Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan) wrote :

The volume for notifications is currently separate from the ringtone (default) setting. I suspect yours is at the lowest setting. Try turning up the volume as soon as an incoming notification is on screen. And yes this is rather tricky to do and we will modify this behavior in the future

Alternately from the command line you can remove all the current settings and go back to defaults:
rm /home/phablet/.config/pulse/ubuntu-phablet-stream-volumes.tdb
and restart the phone.

Actually my comment previously is not correct, the alerts seems to be following the multimedia volume level used for music playback so at this point I am not sure why you have no audio for text messages.

Please attach the pulse config file from the previous comment to the bug.

As I mentioned in comment #4 sound alert for new SMS is working again after reboot. Nevertheless I deleted (from file browser, not using terminal) the ubuntu-phablet-stream-volumes.tdb file and rebooted as suggested in comment #5. Sound alert for text, call, Telegram - all working fine now. The new ubuntu-phablet-stream-volumes.tdb file is attached herewith.

OK, thx, I also raised a question https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-settings/+question/285197 (but may have posted into the wrong place) asking if there's any apps or methods of changing the volumes independently as on Android as I hadn't found anything when searching the web, however there were no suggestions given.

Wonder if you could share some light - at present if this happens again is the only way forwards to delete the file again. As with any issue, it isn't a solution but a usable workaround currently.

I believe that it is inconsistent (more than just putting into silent and back out).
I had my MX4 in silent on Friday evening then back to normal
Saturday seemed OK
Sunday morning I thought the SMS sound notification wasn't working (vibration still good) - I had to hard reset my phone 2-3 times to get bluetooth working again to my headset and phone app crashed as locked up the screen (bluetooth kept connecting but no voice transferred, then after 2-3 hard resets (power button for 10 secs) all came good again).
Sunday evening SMS notifications all ok for multiple texts from multiple people, sent various SMS's and a single MMS, again OK
received SMS after this, sound still good
Something happened (unknown what though)
now sound failed again on SMS...

Would you like a copy of the ubuntu-phablet-stream-volumes.tdb file again or anything else I can provide to assist?

Anupam: I don't see anything wrong from the media-hub.log, at least with this portion of the media stack. I'm thinking it may be an issue with pulseaudio but this bug will require deeper investigation to really know for sure. Anupam, which of the .ogg files listed in your media-hub.log do you currently have set for playing for SMS notifications?

Geoff: Can you please attach your media-hub.log file right after this occurs for you as well? I'd like to double check.

Hello Jim. the log file I attached before was from the time when every sound notification was working fine right after a reboot. But I'm seeing this issue every now and then. Usually deleting ubuntu-phablet-stream-volumes.tdb file, rebooting device for once (sometimes twice) etc. make things normal again. I'll try to get the log file when there's no SMS sound next time.

Meanwhile, I'm not sure whether it's a mere coincidence or the causality, but I noticed the issue after these steps for the last 2-3 times:
1. Toggle the "Silent Mode" on from the indicator menu
2. Keep the device in "Silent Mode" for 2-3 hours
3. Deactivate "Silent Mode" from the indicator menu

I mostly use Mallet.ogg files as SMS tone, sometimes switch to Positive.ogg

here's a zip of the media hub files before and after it going wrong (I'm assuming that this is what the .gz files are). I don't recall changing the volume or silent status until after it went wrong yesterday apart from on Friday evening when it was on silent for around 1-2 hours. Media-hub-7.gz should show when it was in silent mode (Friday evening). Hope this info is useful - if not and you need something else please holla.

I noticed this bug for a while now, SMS sounds get muted for no apparent reason (while other sounds work) and they arent back unless I reboot the phone. This persists for a long time now, so far after OTA-11 I didnt experience the issue, but I didnt receive many SMS messages since OTA-11 so it may not mean anything, as most people send me a Telegram message. I will monitor the situation further.

Jim Hodapp (jhodapp) wrote :

Seems to me like that audio role's volume is getting set to 0%. If I remember right, SMS alerts and the screenshot sound both use the same audio role. One way to check this is to watch the media-hub log from a shell by doing "tail -f /home/phablet/.cache/upstart/media-hub.log" You'll be looking for a line that details the audio role and match the filename to the one you're expecting (SMS being one, screenshot sound being another). If you then validate that they're listed as the same roles that will be a first step. Next step would be to try other things that might be the same role type and verify again in the media-hub.log that they are the same role. Lastly, begin to verify that only this audio role type sounds are the ones that aren't playing.

It is still broken on my BQ E4.5 with OTA-12 but I don't know how to
make it break.
The only reliable sms sound alert is the first one after a restart so if
I think I am going to get more sms I need to know about I now restart
phone after receiving each one.

I'm having this issue as frequently as before even after OTA-12, but I couldn't find steps to reproduce the issue reliably. What happens is usually after 1-2 days after a reboot, this issue appears out of nowhere. Also deleting ubuntu-phablet-stream-volumes.tdb file is redundant, a reboot only makes things normal again.

@John, @Anupam: could you try to follow steps described by Alfonso in comment #82? I would also try to enable pulseaudio logging.

How to enable pulseaudio logging (looks like wiki instructions don't work for Ubuntu Touch, IIRC these are the right steps):
- set device to writable mode
As root:
- create backup file: cp /usr/share/upstart/sessions/pulseaudio.conf /usr/share/upstart/sessions/pulseaudio.conf.bkp
- edit in file /usr/share/upstart/sessions/pulseaudio.conf
  line:
      exec pulseaudio --start
  to:
      exec pulseaudio -vvvv --start --log-target=newfile:/tmp/pulseverbose.log --log-time=1
- restart device

Please do not restart your phone after you reproduce the issue or log files will be lost (copy them in another directory first so you can upload them later)

(from wiki) The log files are in the /tmp directory. You might see more than one file (pulseverbose.log, pulseverbose.log.1, pulseverbose.log.2, etc). In case you don't know which file is the right one, please attach all files to the launchpad bug.

I'd like to help but I really don't know anything about delving into the

I have not dared set it to writeable mode (which I assume is Developer
Mode) I don't know how to access root on it, also the chances of me
typing those strings accurately on the touch keyboard are not high. Or
can I access it via my computer if I go to Developer Mode? I can't see
the directories you mention. Wrong place for these questions. Is there
an idiots guide somewhere?

Few hours before I was listening to a podcast using Podbird app. Not sure if that could be related as I every day without issues since OTA-12.

Telegram notifications work fine with the sound. Music app plays songs fine. I can hear alarms in the clock app too. Screenshots, on the other hand, _do not_ make a sound.

I haven't rebooted my bq 4.5 yet if anyone has any more questions so the bug is still active on my phone with OTA-12. As I wrote several times this bug has nothing to do with anything: not a music player, not a game, it just comes out of the sky as many things in this phone. You will not reproduce it after reboot. The only possibility that comes to my mind is that sound disappears after becoming some count of messages or after a certain uptime of the device.

As I wrote above the phone can be as overloaded that You won't be able to start any app but the sms sound work. On the other way, You can leave Your phone untouched after reboot for a several days and suddenly the green lamp starts to blink with no sound.

Since a few days a Clock app (which I open everyday to set an alarm clock) needed to open itself something like 15 seconds so I decided to reboot the phone today. It helped. Also Sms sounds >were< :-) back. I killed them in something like 5-10 minutes. How: I used the phone with intensity of a whole week: received many messages, answered a phone call, listened to the radio, launched a movie, played a game, opened as many apps as possible and suddenly a sms message came without a sound. I reboot the phone again and perhaps it happens again. I attached a log file but I'm not sure if it is the one You need. The operation described in #82 perhaps succeeded but I can't find a tar file on the phone. Is there any possibility to browse root catalogues from a pc?

I was able to reproduce this finally. It is a matter of killing media-hub-server:

pkill -9 media-hub

(this has the same effect as a media-hub-server crash).

media-hub-server re-starts, but it looks like not all the system recovers and re-connects to dbus-interface. Voice calls ringing, telegram notifications and videos/music still sound, but SMS notifications and screenshots do not emit sound anymore.

So we have here:

* A media-hub-server crash (could somebody please check if they have crash files for media-hub-server in /var/crash?)

* An issue with reconnections to media-hub, for:
1. SMS notifications. telephony-service-indicator is the responsible for them
2. Screenshot sound. unity8 is the one emitting it

Recently there was an effort to make media-hub *client library* resilient to media-hub-server crashes, but it looks like that has not been enough for this case. However, I am not sure if we can completely restore transparently from the library or we need that indicator/unity8 to be ready for media-hub crashes and be able to re-connect.

@Alfonso: well it is *a* cause but not necessarily all causes. I knew that this was reproducible if you killed media-hub-server or it crashed on its own and I did take care of several cases of unhandled exceptions that would cause media-hub-server to crash. Having said that, ahayzen is working on a QML wrapper that will automatically restore a new Player connection to media-hub-server after it has restarted along with some basic state such as the Playlist items. We might be able to create a similar thing in C++ that wraps QMediaPlayer so that it could be used by all platform supported playback sessions. Doing the restoration from qtubuntu-media just wasn't really possible given how QtMultimedia is written.

Sorry to say that guys, but... my phone (E4.5 under OTA13) doesn't give a sound any more. Do You want to see any logs before I reboot it?

Not sure whether it is same bug, but today there was no ringing on incoming call. Just only seen incoming call on a display. BQ E4.5 with OTA13.

This bug still very much exists for me (E4.5, OTA 13) - with the added problem that I don't even get a vibration alert or the flashing green LED to let me know that an SMS has been received.

The phone remains totally silent until I press a button to unlock it, at which point it vibrates, plays the sound alert and the green LED starts flashing.

This happens even if I received the SMS several hours earlier and is making my life difficult.

@Jimbo That's a separate issue I believe. See bug #1516696, a fix should arrive with OTA-14.

I haven't experienced this issue after OTA-13 for a single time (Although I usually reboot my phone after 3-4 days for other things).

@ Anupam
What I complained about at #114 happened to me only once or twice under OTA-13. I almost do not reboot my phone at all: for example my uptime at the moment is 9 days. I think the essence of this bug was fixed in OTA-13 and the whole bug can be closed and marked as fixed. If it happens that someone doesn't get a notification it seems to be a single time issue as many in Ubuntu that happen from time to time.
