Please, would be much appreciated if someone could share their variable and flow showing how to control volume up/down. Thank you

Solved it by using change of relative volume. But now I have another issue. When playing and pushing «play» to stop/pause using change between play/pause it stops but then starts again for a small sec before it stops. Have been trying to add some delays, but nothing works. Any suggestions? Edit: Solved

Attached photos of the flows that worked for me. Initial question I used “set the volume to” and for the second question I disabled the initial flow and added toggle play/pause. Probably other ways to do this but worked fine for me.
