    IMPORTANT: This article applies only to specific products and/or operating systems. Check Applicable Products and Categories for details.

    Set the volume for calls, notifications, media, and alarm

    1. Find and tap Settings → Sound.
    2. Use the sliders to set the volume for:
      • Media (music, video, games & other media)
      • In-call
      • Ring and notifications
      • Alarm

    Note:

    • The ringtone and the notification sound volume can't be separated. All preinstalled applications will use the Ringtone & notifications volume that has been set.
    • You can also increase or lower the volume for a specific category by pressing the volume keys at the side of your Xperia® device up or down when a sound is played - for example, when your device is ringing or you listen to a music track or play a movie. The device will save the setting.

    Mute the device

    1. Find and tap Settings → Sound/Advanced.
    2. Drag the slider below Ring and notification volume to the left.

    Activate or deactivate specific sounds and vibrations

    Increasing the ringtone or media volume above the maximum

    There is no way to raise the volume for the ringtone, notifications, alarms, games, or media above the set maximum. However, some Xperia® devices feature different sound-enhancing technologies that can increase the volume. The volume of sounds using a headset isn't affected.
