Volume Controller

pub package license

Control and observe the system volume on Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Requirements

• Flutter >=3.44.0
• Dart ^3.12.0

The iOS plugin uses the scene lifecycle APIs introduced for Flutter plugins in Flutter 3.38.

Supported Platforms

Notes

• iOS volume control must be tested on a real device. The simulator does not support system volume control.
• showSystemUI is supported on Android and iOS only.
• Mute is not volume 0 on every platform:
  • Windows, macOS, Linux: system mute. Volume can stay non-zero while muted.
  • Android API 23+: STREAM_MUSIC mute (isStreamMute / ADJUST_MUTE).
  • Android API 21–22: mute sets volume to 0 and unmute restores the previous volume saved by the plugin.
  • iOS: there is no public system media mute API. isMuted() is volume == 0. setMute(true) sets volume to 0; setMute(false) restores the previous volume saved by the plugin. iOS 26 AVAudioSession.setOutputMuted is not used, because it mutes this app's audio session rather than the system volume.

Variables

ShowSystemUI

Show or hide the volume system UI. The default value is true. Supported on iOS and Android only.

VolumeController.instance.showSystemUI = true;

double volume = await VolumeController.instance.getVolume();

SetVolume

Set the system volume. The input should be in the range 0.0 to 1.0.

await VolumeController.instance.setVolume(double volume);

AddListener

Add a listener to monitor system volume changes.

• fetchInitialVolume: Send the current volume immediately. Defaults to true.

VolumeController.instance.addListener((volume) {
  // Do something with the volume
}, fetchInitialVolume: true);

RemoveListener

Remove the volume listener.

await VolumeController.instance.removeListener();
