Hi Tim,
I have been able to get sound out of VLC media player by selecting
Audio from the menu bar and then selecting Audio Device and then from
the list select
HDA INTEL PCH ALC887-VD Analog Default Audio Device
I can then play audio or video track and I can hear the sound
Look through `pactl list' output to see if anything seems odd or
missing? Compare it to same command's output on another live-USB boot
where browser-sound works?
Cheers, Ralph.

After all that it was a *bug in TiMidity of all things. The new version
takes control of the sound chip before PulseAudio can, effectively
locking it out. So I used "systemctl stop timidity" followed by
"pulseaudio -k" and wouldn't you know it? Fully restored sound. I'd
advise everyone else to try the same to see if you're being affected by
this too.

I simply deleted Timidity and my sound started working
