Excellent. lsmod shows these sound-related modules:
snd_hda_codec_conexant    42150  1
snd_hda_intel          24479  2
snd_hda_codec          86743  2 snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               6392  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_seq                53791  0
snd_seq_device          6191  1 snd_seq
snd_pcm                80190  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec
snd_timer              19892  2 snd_seq,snd_pcm
snd_page_alloc          7559  2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm
snd                    63984  13 
snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,
                                  
snd_hwdep,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_pcm,thinkpad_acpi,snd_timer
soundcore               6576  1 snd

Any suggestions as to where to start?

Thank you,
