OK, next step is to run
sudo dmesg | grep -i audio
in a terminal to see if there's any problem loading the driver or
firmware and what other messages there might be. And run aplay -l, does
that list any sound device?
Here is the output of sudo dmesg | grep -i audio:

Not sure if that is any help. I don't know how to interpret that; maybe someone else can see
something informative there.
BTW, the sound DOES work fine using an Ubuntu 22.4.1 (LTS) "live" install disk, in "live" mode.
I *could* run the same two commands previously mentioned, while running the Ubuntu 22.4.1 (LTS) "live" install disk, perhaps to compare the output from the Debian 11.6 "live" session.
I did try using alsamixer, but using F6 to choose "default", which shows both card and chip as "PulseAudio" and then F5 to "show all controls", did nothing. Both the Master and Capture controls were set to 100. Below the Master scale, it showed "OO" (not muted). Below the Capture scale, it did not have a similar "block" to show either "OO" or "MM" (muted).
Using F6 to choose "0 HDA Intel PCH", which shows card as "HDA Intel PCH" and chip as "Cirrus Logic Generic", then F5 to "show all controls", also did nothing. The "PCM" control was set to 100. The "PCM" control scale did not have a "block" to show either "OO" or "MM" (muted). Also visible were entries for "S/PDIF, then "S/PDIF 1", "S/PDIF 2" and so on through "S/PDIF 10" , all of which had a "block" showing "OO", but no "scale". And, when selected with F6, the "HDA Intel PCH" choice showed, after hitting F5, the message "This sound device does not have any capture controls."
I then (again) installed pavucontrol 4.0-2 by:
"sudo apt install pavucontrol".
Then I tried the Pulse Audio Volume Control GUI. No luck.
Under the "Configuration" menu, "Profile" drop-down menu", all "Digital" choices were marked as "unavailable". The three "analog" choices and "off" all produce no sound.
What is this, 2023 or 2003?
Anyway, thanks for the suggestions regarding computer hardware.
