Kernel version is? (I know some 'obsolite' hardware sets have been slowly removed from the last few versions. (4.x level.))
Driver is set in the kernel as?
And you have upgraded /downgraded the driver ( I seem to remember some via drivers were particular to match the hardware firmware version).
And, please attach a hardinfo output.
And a lspci result (from a console).
thanks
Thanks for your interest, scsijon.

Pls find attached the HardInfo report as a zip file.
As to these two questions:
And you have upgraded /downgraded the driver ( I seem to remember some via drivers were particular to match the hardware firmware version).
No.
I do not know what you mean by
Driver is set in the kernel as?
I am however attaching a zipped tree of /lib/modules.
Finally, the listing of < tree -fish -L 6 mod* > in /etc is as follows:
modprobe.d
[2.5K] modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[2.5K] modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf-NON
[ 907] modprobe.d/alsa.conf
[ 30] modprobe.d/apm.conf
[ 26] modprobe.d/ath9k.conf
[ 532] modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[ 532] modprobe.d/blacklist.conf-NON
[ 37] modprobe.d/crdw.conf-NON
[ 23] modprobe.d/i915.conf
[ 16] modprobe.d/libpisock9.conf-NON
[ 26] modprobe.d/nouveau.conf
[4.7K] modprobe.d/puppy.conf
[ 25] modprobe.d/radeon.conf
[ 21] modprobe.d/radeon-dpm.conf
modules
[163K] modules/DOTconfig-4.4.1-
modules.conf [error opening dir]
modules-load.d
[ 119] modules-load.d/cups-filters.conf
0 directories, 16 files
(As I heard from another source that the contents of those dirs may have an impact
on sound card recognition.)
As well, this is the contents of file /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG:
#unlike BOOTCONFIG and PUPSTATE that are auto-generated by Puppy,
#MODULESCONFIG was manually created and can be edited.
#MODULESCONFIG is read/written by the BootManager (System menu).
#Please use underscore '_' in all module names, not '-'.
#SKIPLIST: may need to simply skip some modules...
# skip all pci oss... btaudio es1371 i810_audio kahlua trident via82cxxx_audio
#usbmouse, usbkbd are not needed if usbhid is loaded. ub is bad, messes up usb_storage.
#note, make sure SKIPLIST has space chars on the beginning and end.
#note, BootManager will read/write this variable.
#note, rc.sysinit generates /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
SKIPLIST=" arcfb cirrusfb cyber2000fb cyblafb hgafb neofb pm2fb s1d13xxxfb sstfb tdfxfb tridentfb vga16fb aty128fb atyfb radeonfb i810fb intelfb kyrofb nvidiafb rivafb savagefb sisfb btaudio es1371 i810_audio kahlua trident ub usbkbd usbmouse "
# via82cxxx_audio # Thanks, Barry...
#ADDLIST: if a module did not get auto-loaded but you know it is required for
#your hardware, add it to this list. Note, BootManager will read/write this.
#this variable is read at bootup by /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
#an entry is allowed to have parameters, replace ' ' with ':'. ex: "mmc_block:major=179"
#note, list needs a space char at beginning and at end.
ADDLIST=" snd_via82xx snd-via82xx 8139too "

If you need more info, just tell me what other info to provide you with.
Again many thanks for offering to help.
TWYL, hopefully.
