Alert notification sound stuck

[74256274]

I have two App Store apps (Chime &GymGoal) that have built in notification sounds. Both sounds are overridden by one of my custom ringtones. The built-in tones are completely ignored even though I can seemingly set them and*play them in the app. But when it comes time to play the notification while running the app, it plays my custom ring tone rather than the selected sound.*Placing the phone on vibrate has no effect either, the sound still plays. The sound also doesn't play through my earphones.

If I change the name of the ringtone file using iFile, those two apps*won't play any sound at all, even the selected sound from he apps. If I swap the name of the ringtone with another ringtone, those two apps*play the new sound with that filename. I've deleted the apps a couple of times and wiped the cache etc. but no luck. The same problem even followed me when I upgraded to 5.1.1 and re-jailbroke my phone. I thought a total restore would have fixed it, but it didn't. So I'm guessing it is caused by some preference file that remained during the restore process.

Any ideas?

I think I may or may not be following what you're saying. With that said, I see you're jailbroken. Have you
tried to just use PushTone from Cydia? It's easier to set notification tones for 3rd party apps with.

yes, you've got something "stuck"... go to Settings>> General>> Reset>> Reset settings then go back and re-setup your customizations.
