How to get audio notification from Calendar app even on Silent mode?

Carport0593

I've been using "Simple Calendar Pro" for a while, and it's pretty much all I want. However, in an attempt to have only one calendar (and not have to manually update two, one on my phone and one in Thunderbird) I'd like to now use Proton Calendar.

What I like about Simple Calendar is that I can get audio notifications of my events even though I have my phone on Silent mode 99% of the time. I don't want any other sounds, just the audio reminders from my calendar.

But I can't figure out how to do that with Proton Calendar. I've followed this thing here and turned on those options, but when the notification comes up, there's still no sound. I've tested it on Loud mode, and there it works.

Simple Calendar uses a different audio stream, and you can select "Alarm", so that it makes noise even in Silent mode. Is there a workaround somehow for Proton Calendar to use the Alarm stream too?

Thanks!

By 'silent mode', do you mean the system's Do Not Disturb mode? If so, you can enable 'Override Do Not Disturb' for the particular alarms you want in the app's notification settings.

No, I mean the "Silent mode", as opposed to Vibrate or Loud.

I don't use Do Not Disturb since I'd still like to get the notifications, I just don't want any sound or vibration.

Then I don't get it. Its in the name, Silent mode. Silent. Of course you're not going to get any sound. Silent mode is specifically for that purpose. If you want sound, you shouldn't be using silent mode. I'm very confused about what you're trying to achieve.

I don't want any sound with two exceptions: Alarms and the calendar. Alarms work because there's a different audio streams so that supersedes the "Silent mode". And Simple Calendar can use that same audio stream so I get audio notifications even on silent mode. I'm asking if it's possible to tell another app, in my case Proton Calendar to do that same thing.
