I finally got my audio to working on this computer. It had nothing to do
with software or hardware. It had to do with the dysfunction between the
chair and the keyboard! I had the stereo speaker plug plugged into the GD
microphone jack on the sound card!!!

A few more years and I'll only need to be placed in a sunny area and
watered occasionally...

This is such a common error it appears in better quality
documentation (for hardware or software) as something
for the user to check twice. It is too late to propose
using different types of plug/socket for the various
sound attachments. Instead they are colour coded:
loudspeaker sockets are (usually) lime green and some
speaker makers colour their plugs green to match.
