Jim,
Go to http://www.alsa-project.org/ and download the correct source
package for your architecture and what not (most likely to be i386)
and then extract the contents of the file. When that is finished
change directory into the new alsa one and read the README file and
other files that are in caps as they help you out.
Once it is all compiled/install type alsamixer in a terminal and a big
equalising page should come up (hopefully) and then if it does, tweak
the sound to your hearts consent.
HTH,
Tam.

Tam,
Per your e-mail yesterday, I could not get into alsa-project's web-page.
I can today. How do I download the sources and do the compile?

Before I got this e-mail from Tam, I had been investigating my system 
deeper and deeper. I found teh following entries in my /var/log/syslog;

Apologies for the massive paset but I really would like to solve this 
issue. It appears to my noob eyes that the sound portion of my machine 
is being ignored during boot. Consequently, it doesn't matter which 
driver I install (OSS or Alsa) as there is no sound system for it to 
drive. Am I right in this and if so what can I do to correct it?
