It says a lot, but I'm not sure what it all means. Would screenshots
help? But as best I can tell, things are OK there. All the blanks are
filled in, and the sinks say two things: #2 is about Hammerfall. I
don't see anything about Intel, but #1 is 'Built-in Audio Digital
Stereo (IEC958)'. My guess is that's the mobo chip.

There are four sources listed. Two are that Built-in something and the
last two are the Hammerfall.

I found the PA Volume Meter, and it bounces along with Audacity's
meters. I assume that means alsa is working, right?

I found a window labeled Volume Control. It was set to zero. I don't
understand how the meters were bouncing with that at zero, but I
brought it up. Still nothing.

In Audacity, there's a drop-down to select the card/chip. Set to
defaults or HDA Intel, both Audacity and the PA meters bounce.

Here's something interesting: I logged into a buster laptop across the
room (with no recent updates) and ran alsamixer. It's card is HDA
Intel PCH, and its chip is Realtek ALC3235. Not PulseAudio.

I scp'ed a piece of audio to it and opened it in Audacity. Sound works
over there.

There seems to be no way to find PA's version (no mention of a version
option in the man page or in -h).

That's not everything, but it's everything I think is relevant.

There were a few updates and reboots today. And can't find it again,
but I could swear I saw a PA update...
