    My notification and ring volumes are not linked, which is fairly annoying at work when I use the side buttons to decrease ringer volume then get a text message that can be heard from the other side of the office. I've done some poking around and haven't seen a way to link the two together. Am I missing something or is this a key bit of functionality that is missing in ICS?

    Function was taken out with ICS, we don't know why.

    I hate this feature too! I hope there will be a fix in the near future

    So it's not just me then, good :) In the meantime, is there a way to reassign the side volume buttons to control notification volume rather than ring volume?

    Not that we have found yet, still have to go in manually and adjust the notification volume.

    Yes. That is a very annoying "feature".

    I have a smart action enabled to reduce both ringtone and notification volumes when I arrive at the office.

    I realize that there are some apps out there that you can get for volume control but that's just ridiculous IMO. It's the volume for crying out loud. The button on the side should turn it down or up. An app shouldn't be necessary for that!

    I had same issue after ICS update. I use cVolume and it works fine. You go into settings in the app and notification volume and check it. This will allow you set the volume for notifications different from your ringtones.

    How'd you do that? I can't find "notification volume" in Smart Actions. Thanks!

    Yeah, sorry. I was wrong when I said that. I looked at it later and realized that Smart Actions doesn't have a setting for notification volume. Since then, I have switched to Llama, which is a third party app similar to Smart Actions. Llama is able to control both ringer and notification volume.
