If the volume meters in pavucontrol don't work, it's pretty pointless to
try to make your own volume meter work. If you get just zeros from a
monitor source, then you can't do anything about that at client side.

To make any progress, you need to figure out why the monitor source is
generating silence. The first thing to check is that is there actually
any non-silence stream playing to the sink.
