Raymond, I thought that my problem might be that my emachine laptop is to old for unity (?) so I tried a clean install of lubuntu and was able to get the sound working. Under lubuntu the new proprietary drivers would not support my on board wireless modem [ATI IXP AC97], but I got that working well by plugging in a USB wireless adapter that was laying around in my computer junk drawer. With the older hardware lubuntu is working much faster than ubuntu. All is well now.... I thank you for your help. David
