OK, so I ran the alsasound script, and was told that I have to use one
of the arguments start, stop, restart, or status. I ran "alsasound
start", then, doing the next thing the Wiki suggested, ran "alsamixer".
It told me:

  alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or
directory

Going back, I tried "alsasound status", and was told:

  ALSA sound driver not loaded.

Trying various combinations of start, stop, and restart didn't change
this. Am I missing a step?
