When I try and run pavucontrol, it just reports "Connection

Yeah, I don't think pavucontrol is part of the default install. I would
want it but perhaps there are too many other things in front of it.
What is the default program for this? I believe it's
gnome-volume-control? Does this provide the same functionality?
Yes, I think it is gnome-volume-control. It is my understanding that
it provides nearly the same functionality, but not completely the same
functionality (I haven't used it, just seen discussions about it).
I think that pavucontrol must be trying to access your HDMI device
from your video card, and this is not working. I have no trouble at all
accessing sound devices as a normal user with either F12 or F14. I've
never seen that message.
