Not able to change the volume.

[mjolnir]

I'm not able change the volume in the background using MD. I have a macro that fires up whenever the battery increases to 95% and plays a sound but most of the time it so happens that the sound is inaudible meaning the volume is too low to be heard from another room.
I tried putting the If condition to increase the volume but the volume remains unchanged. Can someone suggest some solution?

There's an option to set foreground in the volume change action. Make sure MacroDroid is updated and follow steps at dontkillmyapp.com

I did that too but it didn't work.

It is working now. I had forgotten to set foreground option for changing the volume. Thanks for your help. You have a great community here.

Here is the macro though. If there is anything you can suggest about it then I'll be grateful.

I think the Connected Power constraint is useless, because the trigger Increases to 95% can only occur when the phone is charging, but I haven't tried it and I could be wrong.
Also, it's not a bug but a tip, when you need to evaluate a condition(s) for only one action, using the constraint in the action instead of If clause, the macro is more readable, IMHO
