In my case. "timidity" was causing my problem. Within X, I did a "sudo kill
timidity", and immediately my Volume control on the pane of KDE's Plasma
desktop changed, and the volume control slider produced test clicks. I
tried purging timidity, but it seems to want to take half of KDE with it,
so I'm gonna hold off until tomorrow to tinker any more with it.

Whew!
