I don't seem to have

snd-seq-oss
snd-seq-midi-event
snd-seq

but all the others are loaded.  Do you know what these three do?

But I think the problem is something daft, as you suggested in your
first reply - the volume settings are zero until I change them.

Haven't had time to sort out the details yet - sound isn't that
important to me, and I've had lots of other computery things to occupy
me.

Thanks for your help.
