So earlier today the percentage was displayed. Then I tried to install sway compositor. Then I disabled and switched back to i3. But this time the volume % was not displayed anymore.

Also, I chatted with Claude and his guess is that before PulseAudio was being used for retrieving the volume and now it is pipewire and amixer

I resolved the issue by doing:

sudo apt install pulseaudio

But I'm not sure it is the correct thing?
