Notification Sound In Silent Mode

[bobbass4k]

On mobile, if the page is open the new notification tone plays with the system set to silent mode. I've triple checked and can't see anything system side in either the phone settings or chrome that would be allowing this. I've turned the sound off in profile settings, but it's a bit worrying that the site can override systems settings like this.

It should only make a sound if your media volume is up.  On mobile, wait for it to make a sound and then immediately press down on your volume button, I expect that's all that will be required.  Happened to me a few times where I watched a video elsewhere and forgot to put it back down

Not really - thanks for raiding it I'll pass it up the chain. Has this always happened or is it since the last update (a week or so ago)?

I think the last update switched the sound back on for notifications even if it had been previously switched of before. That was certainly the case for me on both desktop and iPad.

You're welcome. 

Now that you mention it I've only clocked on to it the last couple of weeks, but it's possible before that I've just thought I'd left the sound on or thought I had the media volume up (still happens with the media volume muted)
