   I have another system that gives me sound using pulseaudio which   
   ran out of the box. That system, however runs only on the MB   
   video device.

   I tried pavucontrol, but I didn't understand its output.   
   Asking the various online AI helpers, nothing they suggested   
   worked.

   Both mplayer and mpv give sound without either pulseaudio or   
   alsa running.

   Because I choose to. Chrome will run as root and give sound as   
   proved by another machine on my system.   
      
   Regardless of whether I run as root, or get sound on chrome,   
   rc.alsa should install something that can be seen by ps aux.   
   It does not.   
      
   Using perpexlity I was told to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa to   
   invoke it as:   
         /usr/sbin/alsactl --no-ucm  store   
      
   which got rid of any error messages (after defining something   
   in /etc/udev/rules.d).   
      
   Even without any notifications, rc.alsa does not load.   
      
   Thanks for responding.
