# Retrieve the volume and mute status of a local device

> How to retrieve volume and mute status.

To retrieve the current volume and mute status of the local speakers and microphone, use the [`vx_req_connector_get_local_audio_info`](../../reference-manual/core/structvx__req__connector__get__local__audio__info) request.

```plaintext
vx_req_connector_mute_local_info_t* reqStruct;
vx_req_connector_mute_local_info_create(&reqStruct);
reqStruct->connector_handle = vx_strdup(“connector handle”);
reqStruct->account_handle = vx_strdup(“account handle”); // OPTIONAL

int ret = vx_issue_request3((vx_req_base_t*) reqStruct);
```
