Public bug reported:
After having a heck of a time trying to get sound working on my system,
and looking into many exotic configuration files, kernel modules and
hardware testing, I discovered that the real problem was decidedly
simple.
The PCM volume on first install defaults to zero. If I raise it once,
its perfect ever after, so it's just the initial default install
settings that need changing.
