The breakdown (sorry!) of the whole thing is that I installed the latest
Kubuntu and got the full updates in. Saw that I had no sound. Also saw
that from adept & synaptic there did not seem to be any sound installed with
the OS, so installed (?) the alsa packages that seemed to fit this machine
(no brand-specific files for HP, etc.). None of these made a difference or,
as I remember, even showed up in any guis. Then I saw wiki-alsa
troubleshooting page and followed the directions for installing alsa
components (mixer,..)
Now I did not log the changes, and the page seems to have changed since I used
the instructions on it, but the terminal commands, as stored, that have to
do with it all are as follows.
As far a the kernel goes, I thought the whole affair was about installing
modules distinct from the kernel itself, but maybe I have the wrong idea of
the kernel as being a discrete, read-only, "unmoved mover" in the software
hierarchy.
