Un-mute the sound with alsamixer.

Thanks for your reply Geoff. In all my impatience I failed to do my
homework thouroughly before posting. I did finally find the
usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/Sound-HOWTO. It mentioned running alsaconf file.
That did it. I now have sound.

But again I thank you. I have been using news groups for over 20 years
now ( starting with DEC Notes files ) and have found them and people
like yourself a Godsend.

Thanks again,

Paul
