How to show the LineageOS 23.2 volume status without pressing a volume key, but possibly with ADB?
Oct 10, 6:03pm
Yes — LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16) supports this via ADB, no volume key needed.
Read volume levels
The media volume command prints the current value with --get:
bash
adb shell media volume --stream 3 --get # music/media
adb shell media volume --stream 2 --get # ring
adb shell media volume --stream 1 --get # system
adb shell media volume --stream 0 --get # call/ringer voice
adb shell media volume --stream 4 --get # alarm
adb shell media volume --stream 5 --get # notification
Example output:
text
media volume: stream 3 is currently 10 of 15 # current / max
Run adb shell media volume to see full usage. On modern Android this media shell command exists specifically to read/set stream volumes (AOSP source history, Stack Overflow).
Alternatives
Full state of every stream at once (verbose but complete — includes muted state, per-stream index/max):
Without --set, this pops up the volume dialog without changing anything (Stack Overflow).
Notes
Stream numbers: 1=system, 2=ring, 3=music, 4=alarm, 5=notification; you can also use --get with --stream names accepted by cmd media_session volume (e.g. --show --stream music).
To make the on-screen slider pop up without ADB, some launchers/automation apps (e.g. Tasker with the "Volume Dialog" intent) can trigger the same dialog.
