Hardware/Software:
OpenSeizureDetector 4.3.1 and 5.x
Device: Any
OS: Any
Currently both, the default settings for the acoustic warning and the acoustic alarm of the OSD appear to be coupled to the "Alarm" sound settings within the Android OS.
This proposal is to continue linking the alarm sound of the OSD to the "Alarm" sound setting of the OS, but to link the warning sound of the OSD to the "Notification" sound setting within the OS instead.
I suppose many epileptic people use the "warning" sound of the OSD also as a reminder; "stop moving the wrist with the sensor so strongly, or an alarm will be triggered!"
Having both sounds using the same setting within the OS means that the "Warning" sound is often too loud and may irritate people in the vicinity.
Linking the warning sound to the "Notification" volume of the OS could easily fix this problem. The default warning sound within the OSD is already unique, and can hardly be mistaken for any other type of notification. The suggested setting would be; "Warnings" can be heard without disturbing anyone around, while alarms are as loud as possible.
It would of course be possible to replace the default warning sound with an MP3 file with a reduced volume, but I suggest that would needlessly complicate the configuration.
This proposal would not require any changes within the OSD parameters. Only the functionality would (hopefully) be improved.
