hi alan, install synaptic if you haven't allready done so.do 'sudo synaptic' and search for 'alsa' and install (as root) alsa-base alsa-tools the alsa-toolsgui and the aslsamixergui. this last package give you some useful possibilities. and in my humble opimion, please get rid of pulse-audio. for me that program is and was allways a nuisance. good luck!

For some reason, my sound doesn't work on my new machine with its present jessie install. It worked on my old machine(which had jessie) and it works fine here on Windoze(I use youtube to play old Bernie Sanders' speeches, or Mozart<g>). So what do I have to do? I can't find alsa to install, and pulsesudio is already installed. Any and all suggestions/fixes appreciated. Please spare the imprecations and chastisements! Alan
