OK, double-checked command line and make modules_install indeed had been run.

Went kmenu>settings>sound & multimedia>sound system>hardware tab and restarted the sound system.

Went to process table and killed many, many sessions of artsd-- seems I've read elsewhere here on the board that any sound server will block any other application trying to play.

# aplay /usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/startup3.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo

tried to run audacity but as before it would not appear on the screen.  used process table to kill it. 

ran xmms:  played song but with silence.
