New Pinebook Pro - no sound

[bcnaz]

 
  I am not sure about following all these different paths...

    I only see a Few posts where the users are running the OEM Debian/Mate and have the "NO SOUND"  problem.

   If I had changed the OS or made some major changes,  then maybe Making major changes to the OS could make sense.

    BUT,    I feel like I have a brand new car,     and I am being told   I MUST rebuild the engine. ?

   ** ***   If every new Pinebook Pro had the "NO SOUND"  problem,  maybe that could be true.     ***

     There must be a software switch or such that needs to be set properly or something like that.

     > Going to alsamixer through terminal and changing that setting from default to   ' es 8316-spk-sound '

              Seemed to be a partial fix,  I can hear most videos and some ads on youtube after that change,  but the controls

                 are still grayed out in preferences, and the 'Test Sound'  option does not work.
