Thank you for an extremely prompt reply, but I've been there and done
that:

alsa-utils is already installed at the requested version (1.1.3-1)

alsamixer

cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

I always used to start sound troubleshooting by looking in /proc/asound
to find out what the system thought my sound cards were, but that
directory no longer exists.

This, by the way, is a clean no-X installation of Stretch, running in
hardware that previously ran Wheezy, with working sound. The sound
'card' is a cheap generic USB thing, which the kernel is seeing.
Various sound modules are loaded. I presume I've got to install or
configure something else, but I can't find the slightest clue on the
Net. One Debian sound page refers to Sarge...
