Sorry about that.  It worked for me.  If you can't get alsamixer to open,
then I'd switch it back and reboot.

chmod +x /usr/bin/pulseaudio

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_sound_problems has some
suggestions, specifically:

using dnf or yum (not both -- pick the one you use)

dnf|yum remove alsa-plugins-pulseaudio

I wasn't able to fully disable pulseaudio until changing permissions as I
told you.
