Pipewire kinda sucks. I spent most of a day picking it out of Bookworm and 
replacing it with Pulse so I could get any sound at all from Kaffeine on 
the RPi5s. It is to audio what Wayland is to whatever Wayland is supposed 
to be. Even where it is "working," as on my Trixie desktop, there is no 
volume control available, and the default volume is very, very low. You 
can download "pwvucontrol," available only as a flatpak. I do not know if 
it works.
