Recently I just personalized my config file for i3status and I came into this problem:
Where it should display the volume, it instead shows
Code:
SPEC VIOLATION (null)
I did some searching but couldn't find anything on this error, even in i3's or i3status's manual.
Here is some information that might be relevant:
cat .config/i3status/config
Code:

Also, to use amixer to set the volume, I have to type:
Code:
amixer -c 0 set Master 4-
(As opposed to without the "-c 0")
Also, it may be of significance that I recently had some issues with my sound card not being the default so I had to do some reconfiguration of that yesterday (not to imply that this was working then stopped, this is the first time I had volume in my bar).
