Thank you for the suggestions.  I had already checked the "control
center" settings once before, but did that again.  Only found one
differnce, the "run with highest priority" setting, so made that the
same.  I had never used the alsamixer, so checked the differences
between the problem account and the working account.  Again, a couple
of diffences, so I made those changes also.  Still no sound from tbird
in the problem account.  Trying to play the sound crashes tbird, only
when I'm in KDE.  Tbird works fine in Gnome on the same account, so I
believe it is a KDE configuration problem in that account related only
to tbird.  Every other sound program works fine, and the wav file plays
fine in noatun.  Strange!
