No sound problem persists

The disappearing sound problem on my 3400 (sys 7.6) persists.

I'm pretty sure that the original problem was caused by me telling Location
Manager to set the volume to Level 1, thinking this was quiet when in fact
it was 'off'. However, I've now deleted the sound reference from the LM
settings for both environments and it hasn't cured it.

I can't alter the volume at the control-strip (it springs back to zero),
and Monitors & Sounds says the alert volume is about halfway up the scale.

It's definitely software not hardware - I get the 'boing' on startup, and
it plays audio CDs.

I've tried a parameter reset and rebuilding the desktop. I could delete the
system and restore, but I seem to be making rather a habit of that of late.

Please tell me someone knows how to cure this so that I don't have to
resort to spending a fortnight phoning the idiots on the Apple 'Helpline'
...

Ben
