I forget to say, that you need to add volume_wid to panel as in:
mywibox[s].widgets = {
{
mylauncher,
mytaglist[s],
mypromptbox[s],
layout = awful.widget.layout.horizontal.leftright
},
mylayoutbox[s],
mytextclock,
battery_wid,
volume_wid, -- << VOLUME WIDGET
cpu_wid,
s == 1 and mysystray or nil,
mytasklist[s],
layout = awful.widget.layout.horizontal.rightleft
}
