Bill, I had to return the laptop to Anna for the week.
I'll check in with you next weekend.
Thank-you!

I am still finding it strange that an SI soundcard is being run by the
intel8x0 module.
If
you do
rmmod snd-intel8x0
modprobe snd-intel8x0
and then look at the output in dmesg
or look through dmesg for any mention of the intel8x0 module, do you see any
suggestive error messages?
