Well, I would like to thank Markus Schönhaber for providing a link to the
Ubuntu wiki troubleshooting guide for sound problems.

Unfortunately, I discovered -- to my dismay -- that I lack the skill set
required to follow the instructions laid out therein.

I found myself rebooting the machine a number of times as I was attempting
to follow the instructions, and I noticed that there were two sounds coming
from my machine:  One appeared to be the P.O.S.T. signal, but the other one
APPARENTLY (as best as I could determine, anyway) was coming from the
speakers as Ubuntu was coming "online", as it were.  For lack of a better
term, I would describe the sound as a "bump".

I do not know what thing(s) that I am doing wrong; but I am afraid that I
know just enough to be dangerous to the files on the hard drive.  If I have
to reformat the entire hard drive, then I am resigned to doing so (although,
all things being equal, I would rather not since recopying the files from
the original hard drive will be a royal pain).
