Trick to Access/Adjust Volume (for those whose volume button is broken)

[Kaushik Banerjee]

Ok was playing around with Cortana and discovered this method to access the volume bars. This is only for those whose volume buttons are broken or those who simply dont want to use the buttons!. Since the Volume apps were rendered useless with the 8.1 update, and the volume APIs not updated to support those apps this can be used as an alternative.
NOTE: requires Cortana running on Windows Phone 8.1

Long Press hardware search button to access Cortana.. Speak play music, the Volume UVC loads up..now here you can adjust your volume!
