Additional information

The players are all Wiim Pros

I used to manage their volume through a linkplay HACS integration; I would use a universal media player to merge them

We do not have mute support in the airplay provider so instead volume is used to do fake muting - if you then use another way to override the volume this can cause issues. I suggest you to wait a bit until the linkplay provider in MA is operational
