Where there's a GUI, there's a way? It turned out that the selection in
"configuration" had spuriously changed while the system was dismantled.

With the Pulseaudio_Volume_Control slid hard right, the sound level is
still barely adequate while sitting with one's knees two feet from the
monitor. (It's on the coffee table, fortunately.) ISTR that the ASUS
monitor is supposed to be able to put out 1.5W, well it sounds more like
150 mW to me. And, yes, the monitor's volume control is set to 100%.

Is there any other adjustment in an HDMI connection, which could be
cranked up?
