One letter per grid row is not indicated by the wordplay of the clues.

14a. Being full of cavities, takes in air, expelling spent argon (7, 2 words)

19a. Cask containing tellurium, silver and zinc? (7)

37a. Parts of lap joint transposed to hide a purgative root (5)

4d. Something very funny about to go up back lane (5)

22d. Sound troubles on local radio (5)

Thanks.

22 Noise, sound (maybe sounds like '(A)nnoys'?
14 In Holes, from Inhales.
4 Alley

[Neveracrossword]

19 Tutenag, to do with zinc. Tun, cask, Te. tellerium and Ag, silver. (I think, I've done that in a rush!).

[ProfessorMaisie]

14 the 'O' is missing from wordplay
4 YELL = 'funny person or thing' + A [all reversed]
22 NOISE double def.

[hankir]

Thanks elliemay, Mamya and NAC.

ProfessorM, Did not see your answer when I was typing my earlier thanks.
Thank you.

...for 14 - A is the old symbol for argon, so the wordplay gives INH-LES, 'expelling' A.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...sorry - it's not a double def, the dialect word for 'trouble' is 'noy', so it's - 'noys' (as heard).
