1Something about the self-promotional question/answer pair seems a little "off", but we'll leave it to the community at large to decide.– wbogaczCommented Jan 30, 2021 at 17:10

1I totally agree, I would totally understand if that question was deleted. I did not do that question/answer earlier because indeed, it is self-promotion. But the thing is : 1/ my app is (and will remain) free, no ad, open source, I earn nothing from it. 2/ I talked about my app in the linked question, but my app can be the answer to more questions (remote not only from PC) 3/ finally, that article made me think it was ok, "a question that you already know the answer to, and you would like to document that knowledge" : stackoverflow.com/help/self-answer– tanaka42Commented Jan 31, 2021 at 19:22

@tanaka42 FWIW, free/no-ad/open-source is not a factor to decide if it's spam or not. SE has a guideline for self-promotion in that it has to be non-excessive and always disclosed. The fact that you disclosed it here seems okay-ish, I think.– Andrew T. ♦Commented Jan 31, 2021 at 19:39

1Understood. Thank you I will read the guideline carefully. I did edit my answer so the self-promotion disclosure is even more obvious. I have also added alternative solutions to my product so not all my answer is self-promotional.– tanaka42Commented Feb 2, 2021 at 5:24

You could use my free open-source and no-ad app, Web Remote Volume Control, I have made it myself to address this exact purpose, see my answer on this thread.
Full disclosure: I am the author of this free, ad-free, and open-source app.
You could instead use Teamviewer plus a slider widget (Teamviewer Remote Control on the iPhone, Teamviewer Quick Support on the Android device, and also a sound volume slider widget on the Android device), but this may not be free.
You could maybe also use Airdroid, but I think it is not free either.

1I added a full disclosure for the author. I think between the OP's good-faith edits and the disclosure, this answer is good now. I've upvoted it. Commented Feb 2, 2021 at 5:40
