First, what did you try, and with what result?
      I tried to install alsa.  No result -- I think it is already installed.
      I installed everything else I could with a name involving alsa.
      I have run    ps aux | grep alsa   with no result.
      As already described, I tried alsamixer.

Here is the result of    cat /proc/asound/cards:

 0 [PCH            ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH
                      HDA Intel PCH at 0xdf320000 irq 142
 1 [NVidia         ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia
                      HDA NVidia at 0xdf080000 irq 17

     I have no idea what the above means.  Presumably one or both are
     functional.

     I remind you and others that my sound works splendidly when I switch 
     OSes and log into my Windoze.

Thank you for showing an interest.
