Yes - it says (for example) "50% (pause) with value text (pause) slider"

I would expect it to read the value of aria-valuetext not the % as the author has specifically determined that this is the value that should be read. So in the example above it would read "5000 (pause) with value text (pause) slider"
Often in these cases the value is not even numeric. For example 2 of the sliders at

W3C ARIA APG working group is creating the slider examples with role slider. According to multiple talkback testing reports, role slider does not work in reading the slider value or the changed value.

Actual: “50% (pause) with value text (pause) slider”
Expected: “50000 (pause) with valuetext (pause) slider”
(The "50000" is the aria-valuetext" and "with valuetext" is the label of the control).
I agree that we aren't matching ARIA usability expectations. Using aria-valuetext needs to override any reporting of a number or percentage.
For example, a slider could be used for "low", "medium", "high" or days of the week. The percentage would not make sense.
Please reference
"If aria-valuetext is specified, assistive technologies SHOULD render that value instead of the value of aria-valuenow." (the current slider value is equivalent to aria-valuenow).
Note: the reporter in this case is the chair of the ARIA WG, so he knows what he's talking about. Please don't close without further discussion from an engineer.

Tested this with TalkBack 9.1 and Chrome 92.0.4515.159 (both latest versions as far as I could tell) and can confirm that the error is still present - input type range is still announcing values in percents. It's even happening for "barebones" input type range;
<label for="d">Select your donation from 100$ to 1000$</label> <input id="d" type="range" step="100" min="100" max="1000" value="100">
This bug is preventing usage of input type range for many other scenarios that need other ranges than 0-100%
Other screen-readers (on PC and iPhone) pronounce the values provided by developers.

Re-tested with latest Google Chrome Canary and it seems that bug still persist - TalkBack is still announcing percents instead of values.
- tested with
https://codepen.io/jnurthen/pen/qBajpGz - all sliders announced % - tested with my example on
https://jsfiddle.net/mdu8903f/1/show - both sliders announced %

IMPORTANT: Please read
The lldb debugger and variables view won't display strings when they are (signed char*). They are displayed as individual characters instead. What is the workaround to fix this?
