The lines in default.pa and system.pa follow your recommendations. I also have created /etc/asound.conf and copied those lines to that file. The result is no change whatsoever: smplayer does not play sound at all, just the video; whereas vlc plays both sound and video. This isn't the end of the world. VLC is pretty good, but I find it a bit awkward to navigate my playlists, etc.; for this, smplayer is much more convenient, in my opinion, but now it doesn't work. I will return to the suggestions made in these posts, and study on that web page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseAudio/Troubleshooting) to see if I can get it to work. No doubt I have missed something, but at present I am stumped.
