Thanks for reporting. Sound control also not available in GNOME Shell as well with pipewire.

Still no volume icon here unfortunately :( Is there anything I can share here to help debugging? Thanks
You may need to enable the service, running systemctl --user status pipewire-pulse before and after the following the command will highlight if that's the issue: systemctl --user enable pipewire-pulse --now
At my Desktop machine, I installed pipewire-pulse. Same issue. Sound is working while Audio icon and Volume control are gone. After serveral reboots, create new user, logon new user, etc. No improvement. Then I goto Sound Testing, and switch output (Between HDMI / SPDIF). And magic, I notice the Audio Icon and Volume control are both back. (With an extra Mic volume icon also.) I am trying to reproduce all these in a VM guest now.
1. Fresh install of F33 work 2. sudo dnf update 3. reboot, 4. note Audio icon / Volume Control / sound output / pactl info all normal 5. sudo dnf install --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio 6. reboot A. On the logon screen, Audio Icon is gone. Click on the Power Menu, no Volume Control B. After logon, the Audio Icon is back and Volume Control is back on the Power Menu. (But the test sound of "Front Right" / "Frong Left" is very jerky under pipewire-pulseaudio, while under pulseaudio is normal. in the same VM guest)

(And test sound still not acceptable.) After another reboot, Audio Icon / Volume Control are both back again.

I'm also missing the volume control and my volume keys don't work after replacing PulseAudio with Pipewire in Fedora 33. I do have audio, and I can adjust the volume under Settings>Sound. This is otherwise a bog standard Workstation install. 'pkill pipewire' doesn't seem to help bring anything back.
Okay, kind of strange: I connected a USB audio device, and the volume control came back and my volume keys work again. Even after disconnecting the USB audio device and rebooting several times, I now have the regular audio applet and working volume keys even with just the internal audio. If it goes away again, what are some helpful troubleshooting steps and logs I could collect to pinpoint what's happening? For now, I'll hope this is just resolved for me and I can recommend to anyone having this issue to try connecting some USB audio device to see if it triggers something.
