Im going to make this short and sweet. Can someone tell me how I can have my text sounds on, and my media muted? If I got to watch a YouTube video, then turn the sound down, it turns my text alerts down also. I have tried using the swipe up volume bar, but it still turns down my text alert. I know I can have it where the volume rocker controls sounds, but I don't like doing that. Any other option?
Got a tip for us?

What "C DM" says is true but the volume up/down switches in iOS are strange in how they work.
So...call yourself and while the phone is ringing turn the volume where you want it. After that, start something a video or radio app and turn the volume down to where you want it. Call yourself again and see if the ringing volume stayed up like it should. If not, something is wrong I would think.
Even if it's not behaving like it should you can, in Settings>Sounds>RINGER AND ALERTS, switch off the ability to change the ringer and alert volumes with the buttons.
