You should not use this interface for volume control in a playback

<classname>playbin</classname>'s <quote>volume</quote> property, or use

In order for the <classname>GstMixer</classname> interface to be
usable, the element implementing it needs to be in the right state,
so that the underlying mixer device is open. This usually means the
element needs to be at least in <classname>GST_STATE_READY</classname>

if the element is not in the right state when the interface is used.
