          I don't understand the difference in IRQs.  But they
          seem similar

          I have just installed a new kernel,
            linux-image-3.16-0.bpo.2-686-pae
          and rebooted.  Fortunately<g> everything seems to be
          working as before; e.g. X, E-mail, iceweasel . . .
          
          My sound is, at the moment, totally silent.  However, there
          is perhaps reason to hope.  For now I run  amixer, and I
          get: 
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',0
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [off]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',1
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'IEC958',2
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined penum
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
         I don't know what this means.  I'd like to run a command
         that will turn the sound on.  I thought amixer used to
         do that.  alsamixer gives me a pretty picture . . .

It may be that I am a step away from sound.  Can Prashant, or
Clemens, or someone else, help with that step, or give another
suggestion.

TIA, and thanks to Prashant and Clemens for their suggestions.

Alan
