I think I added mixers until I got one that gave me a master mute
button and clicked that to un-mute.
I should have tried un-muting from the command line, I think.
I think the problem is that, after the upgrade, it ends up defaulting
to muted, and somehow the default GUI controls decide not to give you
access to the master sound control.
