I don't understand the difference in IRQs. But they
seem similar

I have just installed a new kernel,
linux-image-3.16-0.bpo.2-686-pae
and rebooted. Fortunately<g> everything seems to be
working as before; e.g. X, E-mail, iceweasel . . .
My sound is, at the moment, totally silent. However, there
is perhaps reason to hope. For now I run amixer, and I
get:
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [off]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',1
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',2
Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
Playback channels: Mono
Mono: Playback [on]
I don't know what this means. I'd like to run a command
that will turn the sound on. I thought amixer used to
do that. alsamixer gives me a pretty picture . . .
It may be that I am a step away from sound. Can Prashant, or
Clemens, or someone else, help with that step, or give another
suggestion.
TIA, and thanks to Prashant and Clemens for their suggestions.
