Help Where are the default nofication sounds stored? ARRRGH!

Newbie
So, I just paid $6 for this app called Tasker because I want to have a different notifications for SMS and Emails (I am in shock that one cannot do this on the MikG ROM).

I want to create a new profile in Tasker to play a sound when an SMS arrives. I cannot locate the dir that has the factory notification sounds. Is it hidden or something?

I can't believe I am having so much trouble with this. I've searched and searched and cannot find any .wav or .mp3 that represent my notification sounds.

Keep in mind, I don't need new sounds - I just want to use the ones already on the phone.

Thanks for any help.

Are you sure you are in /system/media/audio and not
/sdcard/media/audio?

I also have one lousy facebook notification in the /sdcard/media/audio...

I am using the EFS file explorer or whatever the F is included in MikG and I can only see my SDcard - no ability to "up to" a higher dir.

In ES file explorer, you should be able to click on the "favorites" star icon and access the phone's "root" file (the picture of the phone with "/" under it..see attached..then navigate to /system/media/audio..

You nailed it!! :)

This is exactly where these are located. If you ever have issues like this in the future, you could just create a media / notifications folder structure on your SD card. Unzip the rom file you are running on your PC, and navigate to the system / media / audio, then copy the files out. Place in the folder on your sd card, then you'll have easy access to them. It's kinda redundant, but some find it easier to find. :)
 
If you do not have access to / under the favorites star then do the following:
Under the favorites star select add, / and name it root. After which you should be able to go to /system/media/audio. Copy the notification folder and paste it into /storage/emulated/0/. After which you should able to change any notification sounds. (At least this is what I had to do.)
 
There's a simpler answer to the question: if the OP did not have root they would not be able to look at the contents of /system.

BTW the last post was more that 6 years ago, so they've probably resolved it by now ;).
