sorted sound via alsamixer
took a bit.of.fiddling around
email insyalled and working too

1 less worru
works really well after few hours

How did you sort out the alsamixer stuff? I've been fiddling around a bit, but had no luck so far.

Well it is a nightmare and guess work 
First install 


pkcon install alsa-utils

then run 

alsamixer

use the tab keys on the terminal to tab through and unmute all *whilst playing some music obviously!

If I remember rightly it was right towards the end of the sources (press m to unmute/mute) 

It does not seem to survive a restart ( I thought it did but tested just now and it is back to how it was) 

Learnt this with the shipped ubuntu touch image.

If I could do a screen shot I would show you...but keep tabbing to the right an unmute all (except one mic which will whistle!) If you have not used it before you also raise the volume up using up/down arrows


I also checked and tried to take a picture (screen shot not possible for some reason - on the to do list!) but even the screenshot of that is too large to upload !

It is the DAC column and the AIF1 columns if you are still lost

So I took note and did the following:
line out
adc digital
aif1 da0
dac for actual volume
dac reversed

Code:

devel-su
mkdir /var/lib/alsa
touch /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
alsamixer

Now do the things needed and get it to an ok volume.

Code:

alsactl store

saves the current volume settings.
Keep in mind this is only a workaround for now.
