In this case there are not too many of them, only 'PCM', 'Front',
'Line', 'Mic', 'IEC958', 'Capture', 'Capture', 'Input So', 'Input So.'

That was fun. I think I tried every permutation. PCM has only volume;
Front, Line, and Mic have volume and mute; IEC958 has only mute; the two
Captures have volume and <space> toggles a display of
L R
CAPTUR
beneath, whatever that may mean (stereo on and off?); the two Input So.
have only the option to be Line or Mic.
Anyway, it remains steadfastly silent in every conceivable state while
speaker-test continues to say
Time per period = 2,986811
0 - Front Left
and so on.
It is not hardware, I have booted Doze a couple of times, and that gives
nasty little jingles.
Never mind -- I'll buy a phonograph, a soft cloth and scour the
second-hand markets for vinyl...
Thanks anyway.
