it could be just that the video card digital audio output is low. maybe 
switch on over amplification, and see if that helps?

yes I didn't have it. But wonders will never cease. I fired up the PC 
tonight and switched the driver back to the Nouveau driver, rebooted, 
and I have sound. However that was the driver in use after the upgrade 
when the sound didn't work, so I'm guessing that the upgrade affected 
that driver somehow. But that wouldn't explain why the Nvidia drivers 
didn't produce sound? I checked inxi and the audio entries are identical 
for when there was no sound and now that  there is.
