Please don't apologise. You are engaged in public service, and therefore be admired. We always make mistakes, don't we?

Yes, true.

This, v 20161130-5 in Stretch 9.11.0 too doesn't appear to contain soundcard firmware. Better let HOAS (Head_on_a_Stick) clarify. This
firmware isn't installed on my HP laptop, where pulseaudio works fine.
But I checked the
dependencies of
firmware-linux-nonfree and found the package
firmware-misc-nonfree, also ver 20161130-5. Does it contain some of audio drivers? The card/chip for which required could be checked. Details in info of synaptic. Has drivers for "creative". "Realtek" or "audio"
Details could be checked please.

Could you post the result of
First check that firmware is installed, then if it's still not working try creating the file in
and rebooting. (See previous post for file contents)
It may be an issue with the sound card needing different codecs for different outputs and this may fix it. If it doesn't, you can simply delete the file you created with no harm done.
