Help Weird one for you

This is a bit strange, anyone else noticed this.

My SMS notification sound is playing too quickly when I get an SMS. If I play it from the file system it's fine and on my Nexus 4 when I get an SMS it's fine.

The notification is about 5 or 6 seconds long.

Strange indeed, this is in Hangouts right? Have you installed another SMS app or if you restored from a backup is a secondary messaging app causing conflict?

Have you tried changing the notification sound or trying a different sound effect?

What about other notifications? I haven't got round to changing sounds yet so about 3 apps play the same sound.

There is talk of updates coming to the sound and speakers so that might fix it.

Yep hangouts. Restored with Backup and Restore, then switched back to Hangouts. Manually set the notification tone. Not noticed it on other notifications yet, but then they're a lot shorter.

I've put a different version of the same Notification on the phone, and that has sorted the issue, strangeness indeed.
