Bug Description
On a PC, when running under unity8, the sound gets sometimes muted inadvertently (most often when switching VTs between unity7 and unity8). Would be nice to have a mechanism that unmutes the sound as well when turning off the silent mode. The mute action isn't exposed in the phone profile (at least not directly) so we don't want to confuse the user when the above situation happens and the sound can't be unmuted, even if they turn the silent mode off explicitly.

I think the problem stems from the difference in behaviour in the first place. If we have to modes - "mute" and "silent", we need to let the user know that one silences notifications and the other mutes multimedia. And there needs to be visual representation of the two, and UI to change either.
How do you silence alarms is one more question to answer, but I think it's more to do with inhibiting interruptions altogether rather than just making them quiet.
