adb push not working on /system, read only

I can do adb push to /sdcard/ location but not /system on my android device.

sudo adb push lib/audio.primary.gmin.so system/lib/hw/
failed to copy 'lib/audio.primary.gmin.so' to 'system/lib/hw/audio.primary.gmin.so': Read-only file system

I tried some suggestions online

user$ adb remount
dm_verity is enabled on the system partition.
Use "adb disable-verity" to disable verity.
If you do not, remount may succeed, however, you will still not be able to write to these volumes.
remount of /system failed: Read-only file system
remount failed
user$ adb disable-verity
Verity already disabled on /system

Even after this, remount fails

user$ adb remount
dm_verity is enabled on the system partition.
Use "adb disable-verity" to disable verity.
If you do not, remount may succeed, however, you will still not be able to write to these volumes.
remount of /system failed: Read-only file system
remount failed

running below command on PC also does not work

sudo mount -o remount,rw /system
mount: can't find /system in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

What should I do?

EDIT.

   which mount
    /bin/mount

adb version
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32
