I thank him for his interest. He asked

Yes. I have a choice of CD input or AUX2. I used CD for what you might call historical reasons. I could also use an audio cable
wrapped around from the external audio out of the TV card to
the external input of sound, but I use LINE-IN on the audio for
other things.

I have tried that. Thinking about it overnight, I suspect that
somehow the driver in alsa cannot detect the CD as input.
It´s as though it knows it´s there, but doesn´t believe it can
be used as input, so when one issues the command, it refuses
it. When I bring up alsamixer, and use F4 to look at CAPTURE,
it shows CD as capture but with zero volume, and it will not
increase the volume. There is a whole separate column,
labeled capture, and there I can increase the volume.
