Some more questions if you don't mind...
What word is on TV remotes in France that mutes the sound? Is that also "Mute"? Is this yet another case of incorporating english words into everyday french conversation?

1/Usually it's written :" volume" with a + and a -.
2/ I never ever heard this way of saying that before reading it on this article.
let's say it's a kind of "teen slang" ( I'm maybe too old...
Or it"s pure "Alizéism" !
I'm pretty sure a lot of french people doesnt' get it, if you try to use it.

the better :" vous pouvez baisser (ou couper) le son, s'il vous plait?"
= can you fade (or cut) the sound, please ?
