Xunzi, you are still ALSA pure, correct? Is what you shared from the logs or from manually trying to load volumeicon? Even if the volume icon doesn’t load, does audio work? Is this runit? There are too many moving parts, and it is best to first figure out if the alsa (restore) command in the runit-core script is properly working or not before looking into the volumeicon itself.

How do I properly reinstall pipewire on antiX23.1.. it’s been giving lot of problems lately..

If the pipewire installation you have is from antiX repos, copy over the /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf file to ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf (you will need to create the folder). If you don’t have the antiX package, download it from the repos and extract the file manually from there. After this, change the startup command to:

pipewire &
(sleep 5 && volumeicon) &

Corruption has two hands: the Right and the Left. Don't let them squeeze you.
