Description
Plugin Request
Name: Audio Manager Plugin
Package: @capacitor-community/audio-manager
Platform(s)
- Android 5.0+ (API 21+)
- iOS 13+
- Web (limited fallback)
Existing Solutions
I couldn't find a Capacitor plugin that handles system audio settings like ringer mode and volume control. The closest one is @capacitor-community/native-audio, but it's focused on playing audio files rather than managing device audio settings.
Description
This plugin lets you interact with device audio settings - get/set ringer mode, control volume levels for different streams, detect mute state, and check DND status on Android.
I built it because I needed ringer mode detection for an app I was working on and couldn't find an existing solution.
What it does:
- Get and set ringer mode (normal, vibrate, silent)
- Get and set volume for different streams (music, ring, notification, alarm, system, voiceCall)
- Check if device is muted
- Check DND status (Android only)
- Listen for ringer mode and volume changes
Platform notes:
- Android has full support
- iOS has some limitations due to Apple restrictions (documented in README)
- Web returns fallback values
Current status:
Published on npm as capacitor-audio-manager (v1.0.0). Tested on Android. iOS implementation follows Apple's AVAudioSession documentation but hasn't been tested on a real device yet.

- GitHub: https://github.com/selmanyasinaktas/capacitor-audio-manager
I'm open to transferring the repository and maintaining it under Capacitor Community.
