Thanks, but this doesn't work.
The analog electrical signal is coming out of the computer amd getting
into my external speakers via an stereo sound audio cable. It is as if
the desktop tasksel installed the software to establish the digital
path to the sound card, but failed to install the software for user
to set preferences. But I really don't know that this is so. I do know
that I have no control over software audio volume. I'd like to get
control.
