Or you can use this app:

You can customize it to open any volume, not just the four with the drop-down menu. And you don't have to lower your ringer volume.
You could try this app and just select Media from the notification when you want to change it. Better imo as you can still change ringer volume if you ever need to, along with any other volume.

For a temporary workaround, you can get this app, basically you can add a tile just like other buttons (wifi, bluetooth, etc) and as soon as you click it, the volume slider will come. It's of great help.

(I use this if I want to control volume if phone is resting on a surface where buttons are not accessible)
Control media, call and alarm sound from notification panel, small size app, no ads Here's a link, this app can solve your problem, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hyx.app.volumenotification
I've been using "boosted" since I got the phone, it's really nice.
Doubletwist looks really promising. Gonna play around with it tonight. Thanks!
Also, been tried 'Volume Notification' as a way to adjust volume without using the button. Not bad, but not perfect either.
There is an app called Volume Notification that separates all the volume controls that exist. This should do what you want.
You could try to contact support and see where that goes or download Volume Notification which adds a widget to your notification center: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hyx.app.volumenotification

Can't promise it'll suit your needs, but when my phone's buttons started failing, I used this to adjust my volume.

I am not sure how to do that on stock Android. But ypu can use,
Did you try Volume Notification & Volume Butler
Edit:
u/mel2000 gave a good suggestion.
I would like to add something.
With tasker or Volume Butler, You can make different profiles. Make 2 profiles, keep normal notification sound in 1 profile and keep silent mp3 file on 2nd profile. Switch automatically or manually between those profiles.
