Make sure that the user you're testing as is a member of the "audio"
group.
E.g..: usermod -G audio myidentity
That appears to have enabled the sound circuits although that
was not set in F-15/32. In F-16 it makes a big difference so
apparently something is being done differently.
Thanks much for the advice.
