Huawei: Adjust Ringtone Volume Separately

If your Huawei phone rings too loud or too quiet compared to media playback, the ringtone volume runs on its own slider. This also affects notification sounds for incoming SMS or WhatsApp messages, so a wrong setting can mean missed calls or overly loud alerts.

Ringtone Volume Settings auf Huawei

The ringtone volume on Huawei phones is controlled independently from media, alarm, and call volume. This separation lets you keep music or video volume high while keeping incoming calls quieter, or the other way around.

Notification sounds for SMS and messaging apps like WhatsApp also follow this ringtone volume slider, not the media volume. If notifications feel too quiet or too loud, this setting is usually the cause, not an app-specific sound setting.

To adjust it, open SettingsSounds & vibration and swipe left or right on the ringtone volume slider to set the level you want.

If you still don't hear a ringtone at all after adjusting this slider, check whether Do Not Disturb or a Focus mode is active, since these can mute ringtones regardless of the volume level set here.

Frequently asked questions

Media volume and ringtone volume use separate sliders on Huawei phones. Adjust the ringtone level directly under SettingsSounds & vibration to change how loud calls ring.
