By the way, I'm pretty sure this only refers to loudness/decibel level and not to other English meanings of volume (e.g. volume of a substance in liters, a volume of writing).

    Yes, indeed. The word "lydstyrke" literally means "sound power/strength"

    You are right "volumen" can also be used for size (liters) and sound in danish (just like english but why teach the simple translation) but is mostly used for size

    It would be a more effective question to ask "...increase the volume" or "...decrease the volume" rather than necessitating a follow up question as to changing the volume in which direction. Just saying.

    alter = change so should be accepted

    Also, you don't really ever "change" the volume. Is this how people really say it in danish?

    As a native speaker of English i don't know why 'alter' is wrong.
