I would check pavucontrol and see if anything is turned off or using
the wrong Profile in the Configuration Tab.
Well, it's not clear which of the dozen profiles is the right one. :-)
Selecting "Analog Stereo Duplex" does result in the Input Devices
showing "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" with three options "Line-In",
"Microphone 1" and "Microphone 2". The blue VU meter bar for
"Line-In"
is jumping around, which is progress. Clicking the "mute" button
makes it stop and start, which is good. But nothing comes out the
speakers.
Using a different Mike W.'s suggestion, I ran
"pactl load-module module-loopback". Suddenly there is sound!!!
I added the line "load-module module-loopback" to /etc/pulse/default.pa
and the change persists across a reboot.
Whew!!! It should not be this difficult to set up sound.
Thanks Mike & Mike!
