Disregard.  A little more googling showed that on the 82801DB AC97 
drivers/hardware, a common problem is that the driver autoconfigures for 
"external amplifier" mode.  

Loading any decent ALSA mixer will allow you to turn the external amplifier 
setting off (I saw posts about loading gnome-alsamixer, but it looks like 
kmix and others also work correctly after a little testing...) so the audio 
will work.

That was easier to find than I thought it was going to be... I'm not used to 
Linux sound "just working" yet.   GRIN.  But it does!  ;-)
