Initially it didn't work, but then I realised that pulseaudio probably

got a permission error, but it worked after a reboot.
This is weird. Installing pulseaudio allowed me to set the volume using the
'-D pulse' switch, but I could get nothing from the speakers. So I purged
pulseaudio and my speakers burst into life again.
The weird thing is that the command:
amixer -D pulse set Master 50%
still works.
How can that be?
Has Raspbian perhaps switched to using PipeWire for audio I wonder?
Pipewire is meant to overcome the many issues with Pulseaudio so I
wonder if they might have done that, and that is the cause of the old
commands not working.
Definitely makes me think twice about upgrading the river system pis.
