Not getting anywhere. Making -progress.
I used a different HD and put Fedora-KDE version on it so that next time my 
S-in-law comes he can play on that and not muck up my system. It showed a 
number of outputs and kept jumping between them  until I got something up and 
was able to click the radio button for teh one I wanted and settle it down.
Back to my main system Pavucontrol keep saying /no output devices available/,
but
aplay -l

I know that the one that I want is the [USB Audio] but don't know how to get 
pulseaudio  to recognize them anymore. I note that it shows the speakers built 
into my monitor. I have never had those working.

Any thought appreciated. Short of doing a full reinstall again....

Hi Peter,

Last night, when I mentioned PulseAudio, Hamish mentioned something
else?
Yes, Pipewire.

I think I should investigate it, as I now have no sound at all.
Pulseaudio says it cannot find any output devices.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio  might help.
