2. Press 3 dots button.
3. Select Settings form the drop-down menu.
4. Press Audio in Settings.

microsoft technologies for app developers to tap into and provide UI element introspection capabilities(primarily useful for screen readers and such like). with a bit of cleverness though, u can leverage them urself for ur own needs
