Hi Folks!<BR>
<BR>
I <I>finally</I> have sound! <cartwheels!!> Thanks to those who attempted to help. What I did was kept remembering it seemed like there was something else needed in the original HDMI card configuration but wasn't able to find on-line. Did sort of a round-about way to get to it: the notes for the old/original system (version 10.10) were on my Windows XP system which had somehow managed to kill itself (the OS got corrupted). Before it died I had managed to make several backups and copies. Haven't found (and haven't had time to look for) a file search utility like Agent Ransack. So, copied the Mythbuntu directory from one of the backups to a thumbdrive, plugged it in to The VirtualBox XP, and had Agent Ransack have a go. It helped me find the file I was looking for.<BR>
<BR>
Summary of what I did.<BR>
<BR>
aplay -l ==> gives the sound cards and their device numbers. On my original notes I have the comment "ASUS EN210) the chip is an Nvidia GT210 but ASUS must have done something to need a 'helper' (see below).<BR>
<BR>
alsamixer ==> know what it's for but here basically to check to be sure things still look OK.<BR>
<BR>
speaker-test -c2 -twav -Dplughw:0,3 ==> this didn't work but 0,7 did. (Using devices 8 and 9 didn't work either.) One thing I noticed is the command sequence is different from the other notes. I should have tested to see what happens the 'normal' way but I was just overjoyed to finally hear her saying "Front left, front right"!! (BTW, ^C to stop.)<BR>
<BR>
Now here is where things go off on a different trail.<BR>
<BR>
sudo nano ~/.asoundrc ==> Creates a new file. Type in "pcm.!default hdmi:NVidia". (No quotes, and watch capitalization.)<BR>
<BR>
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.alsa-base.conf ==> at the end of the file add "snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 index=1" (Again no quotes).<BR>
<BR>
Reboot (sudo shutdown -r now)<BR>
<BR>
Test and hope -- yesss!!! <gg><BR>
<BR>
Go into Mythbuntu on the Frontend working on. Go to the Util/Setup> Setup> General > Audio System (page 4), (And that's not exactly the titles of the sequence -- working from the 10.10 notes on a 16.04 system fix.) Change from "Alsa:default" to "ALSA:plughw:CARD=NVidia,DEV=7" (or whichever device number works for you).<BR>
<BR>
<reboot><BR>
<BR>
Test with speaker-test, load MythTV and test -- hope it works for you too! <BR>
