   it could be just that the video card digital audio output is low. maybe   
   switch on over amplification, and see if that helps?

   yes I didn't have it. But wonders will never cease. I fired up the PC   
   tonight and switched the driver back to the Nouveau driver, rebooted,   
   and I have sound. However that was the driver in use after the upgrade   
   when the sound didn't work, so I'm guessing that the upgrade affected   
   that driver somehow. But that wouldn't explain why the Nvidia drivers   
   didn't produce sound? I checked inxi and the audio entries are identical   
   for when there was no sound and now that  there is.
