Here's an update. Yesterday morning I recompiled the kernel, but I took most everything out that didn't look like one of the three audio cards I've been trying to get working. I rebooted and tested the audio with the new kernel and it didn't work. Then I rebooted again before I went out for the day, the machine ran all day and all night without any activity before I logged in this morning. Now I have audio again. Now I think I have to pay attention as to whether audio begins working after a period of computer uptime. Does this sound plausible?
