If so, I would guess that you have something claiming them
already - pulseaudio or jack or pipewire. Check for running
processes.

I killed pulseaudio and initially speaker-test worked.
then after playing an ogg file and doing some other routine tasks suddenly
nothing worked, no sound, nothing.
I rebooted to load an older system, Buster. Of course everything worked
there.
Rebooted to Debian 11. This reloaded pulseaudio and speaker-test worked.
Played an ogg file and volume control showed sound was from Alsa plugin
using GP107 High Definition Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI)
Volume control also showed three channels for Starship/Matisse HD Audio
Controller Analog Stereo labeled:
speach-dispatcher-dummy, speak-dispatcher-espeak-ng, and firefox
None of these was active.
I don't understand all this. My speakers are better than the monitor speaker
and have both an analog and an optical connection to line out but are not
used.
This is different from my original problem. I'm not sure how I got here but
I would appreciate any help in unraveling this.
