//setting volume of the interstitial ad, can have sound, if it's video
_admob.setVolume(vol); //0-1 range, where 0 - mute, 1 - max volume (default, I guess).

Testing

Ads might not show in debug version of the app or for new apps, that are not yet on Google Play or just created ad unit.
Always try test mode first by passing your device id as last parameter to show/cacheInterstitial function.
One of the ways to find device id is to run ads in regular mode and find the following line in logs: <To get test ads on this device, call adRequest.addTestDevice("XXX");>. XXX is your device id.
"No fill" or "Failed to load ad: 3" in logs most likely means that ads are working fine, but there are no ads for real, or admob doesn't want to provide any for some reason.
Listen to all the events while debuging to get better idea what is going on, when something is not working.
