Apparently alsaconf isn't changing the right thing then because
it says it changes /etc/modprobe.d/sound and /etc/modprobe.conf.
Does Debian's init script automatically recreate these on restart?

I think this could be the problem then.  I will attempt a reboot
with this to see if this corrects it.

Thank you for your patience if this IS the issue.
