See the discussion here.
We need to add a dedicated filter for this imo.

Hello,
I was a little confused on how to implement these options, and noticed the volume option doesn’t work on my Mac due to a bug. I was a little confused on the different drop down options when using each filter. Is there a step-by-step to follow without specifically using the volume option?
Thank you!

Not sure what you mean, the instruction I provided are not using Volume.
