Now, here's a funny thing.
With all of the discussions ;the above and in another thread / other
threads, about the need to remove pulse audio, to get sound working, I
booted the thing up, loaded synaptic, searched for pulse audio, and
found that some utilities (dependencies ?) for it, were installed,
but, not the pulse audio server. So, I installed that, with its (8 ?)
dependencies, and played a movie, and, the sound worked.
So, the problem appears to have been solved; it appears that, in the
OS installation, no sound server was installed, and, installing pulse
audio, appears to have fixed the problem.
Whilst the solution, appears to have been the inverse of the
suggestion above, thanks for the pointer; it resulted in the apparent
solution.
