Thank you, Rene.
Yes, ran alsamixer and thoroughly checked the settings-- levels all raised, no
muting, made sure the correct parameter for the right card was used according to
cat /proc/asound/cards. No sound.
Played a file with aplay. No sound.
Didn't see anything funny in dmesg but maybe you will. Here it is:
