Well, I have a couple Thinkpad 560 model machines, and use the suspend and resume feature also. I mostly use RH on them. But, I can suggest that you ensure that the sound daemon (esd in my case) is also restarted when you resume the laptop.
Unfortunately, although I have been able to automate the unload/reload of *all* the sound-related modules, I have never been able to automate the shutdown/restart of the esd daemon. I tried for many hours, many times, but was never successful. So, I just gave up, and manually restart the sound daemon myself.
I would be interested if this advice is helpful, and if anyone has ever solved
the esd shutdown/restart issue.

I've been quite happy with my Thinkpad 390E that I've had for just one year. About a month ago I bought a new battery and have been using the suspend capability when transporting it.
I discovered that upon resume any audio playback is extremely garbled. I find this with either xmms or mplayer. When playing a video with mplayer the audio is garbled and the video plays much slower than normal. Audio plays normally only after a cold reboot.
I am using the ampd package and as near as I can tell the ALSA modules are being unloaded before suspend and reloaded on resume. If the modules are not unloaded then no audio can be heard at all after a resume. I never experience machine hangs so I think this is probably a hardware issue. The BIOS image is the second last version available for the 390E series.
I am using a custom built 2.3.23 kernel and here is the APM portion of my kernel config:
CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_APM=m # CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set # CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE is not set CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y # CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set
# # ACPI Support # # CONFIG_ACPI is not set # CONFIG_OPTIMISE_SIZE is not set
I don't believe this machine supports ACPI, therefore I've not enabled it.
I'll entertain any and all ideas and pointers.
