Can I completely mute the phone using ADB?

Question

I would like to turn off all the sounds on my Android device, using ADB.

Is that possible?

For the record, I think the close decision is wrong. Not only is ADB a programming tool (the D stands for Debugging), it is often used within a script to automatically test apps (that's how I got here). In this specific case it's very likely to be the case, as most people won't bother muting via ADB when they can just click on the device. — Roy Falk, May 18 '16 at 05:51

I think will be better to call: adb shell input keyevent 164 – adrbtk Jan 21 '16 at 14:16

For reference: `25 KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN`, `164 KEYCODE_VOLUME_MUTE`. Source: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html#KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN – domen Aug 10 '17 at 08:24

One solution could be to make an app that you install on the phone which can receive an intent sent via adb and then have the app do the muting.
