Detect and store current volume levels, modify them for some specific task, and restore whatever was set before i modified it.

Is it posible ? the variables which hold volume level refuse to be directly modified.

So, i can check the current lvl, but i have no way to set it to that value.

I could set a TON of nested "ifs", and many "profiles" (i have my own normal, high, night, cinema profiles), but thats not idea, unless there is no other way xD

ps: example:

Phone call comes > Detect current volumes > lower ring volume to 0 > read caller (through media volume) > restore ringer volume

(I do it like that cause hearing the ringtone + caller is not always clear)

You can save the current level to a variable with Variable -> Variable Set.  You can also use a variable to set the volume level.  In the action edit screen (where you normally have a slider to set the level), press the circular blue arrows to switch to variable input (you may need to disable beginner mode under menu -> preferences -> UI).

Buu

I thought i was done with this, but no :(

My task does the following:

Store Ringer volume (%VOLR) in my variable %RINGVOLUME

Set ringer volume to 0

Read caller

Set ringer volume to %RINGVOLUME

It seems to work fine on my Galaxy Nexus (android 4.2.1), but on my Galaxy S3 (first with 4.1.1 and now with 4.1.2), it stores 1 or 0 on my variable (no matter what ringer volume was set at) and then restrores that, instead of the correct volume :(

I see the same thing. It looks like you are falling victim on the SGS 3 to the same things as discussed here: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/tasker/Xfk8arHA8SA/discussion. I see that the ringer volume is set to 0 (vibrate), but immediately set to 1 thereafter. You could try to set the ringer volume to 0 twice, but that doesn't explain why your volume variable doesn't store your initial setting.
