I was wondering why I wasn't getting any alert sounds...
So I went into the sound settings and noticed that
I had turned off the UI sound because I was tired of those beeps...
Now to get the alert sounds back I have to endure the
annoying UI sounds again...
It's not "sharing" a sound, but the alerts are part of the UI sound system, so yes they share a volume control. We can't put every individual sound on its own volume control.
Interesting idea - would result in an awesome mixer console. I like rotating the knobs, the more, the better
On a more serious note - while individual sound regulation is indeed a rather unusual solution: grouping notifications separately might be a good idea.
Until someone gets bored by an individual notification sound, that is
