Bill: After I powered the box down and let it sit for awhile and then
powered back up, I was able to hear the audio coming from youtube.com
without any problem, as well as audio from streamaudio.com   Never was
able to hear the local sound test in system-config-soundcard but since
it is otherwise working now, I consider this solved. If those ear
plugs had a longer cable, they would be perfect....Thanks. Lanny
