Where's the sound?

[howard]

I have Puppy 4.3 installed on my Thinkpad T51. While the Puppy Bark is fairly audible, I cannot get other sounds, especially those that arrive by way of the Internet, to play at a decent volume.
I tried running the Sound Card Wizard. At one point ALSA presents a list of "sound cards." I'm not sure which one to select.
Any guidance appreciated. Thanks.

Type alsamixer in console; see that master and pcm sliders are
turned up. Play with the other ones too.

I "solved" a similar problem when my grey matter engaged gear and I realised that when Alsamixer opens from the menu in mimimised format the speaker slider is to the extreme right and is not immediately visible.
