I finally got back to working on this.  One of these days, I'm going to
learn to do snapshots.  The machine had pulseaudio installed.  I
uninstalled it.  Things have gone from bad to worse.  It's now loading
intel drivers (it's an amd ryzen with amd audio hardware). I either need
to reinstall the audio stack or I need to reinstall altogether.  I don't
see any way to re-install the audio stack from scratch.  That's all
handled during install.
