Didn't work.  Nor did adding snd-hda-intel line to /etc/modules.

Any more suggestions?  I'm running Jessie. Have been since Jessie was 
testing, about three months after the release of Wheezy.  So it's seen a 
lot of changes, the biggest of which was the transition from sysvinit to 
systemd. I should have fixed it a lot sooner, but as long as I could fix 
it by running modprobe, I wasn't in a big hurry.  Anyway, if this had 
worked, it feels like a workaround, and isn't really getting to the 
actual cause of the problem.  So, any more suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Mark
