That usually means that the sound system can't find an audio device.

You can't run a "--user" command directly as root, it has to be run as the
user you want it for (or as described).

Yes, you click on one of those speakers and it will send audio to that
speaker to test it.
As I should have made clear,
my issue was what constituted clicking on a speaker.
Even everything were not grayed out,
I would still not have much of a clue.
You didn't mention which desktop you're using, but if
it's Gnome, go to
the sound settings and see what the options are for output device.
As your user, what does "systemctl --user status wireplumber" show?
I'll check, but I'm not home now.
Thanks.
