     Alsa-utils is installed on my great new etch<G>.

     I shut down every evening and reboot in the morning.  After reboot
     this morning the sound worked fine.

It remains to thank everyone here who helped me in my various problems.
This is a great E-list, full of sage and sharing experts!

Best wishes to all,

Alan
