Thanks for your reply, Mitchell. The issue did sound similar to mine - total loss of sound in a new session until alsaconf was re-run. As I recall, alsa was defaulting to unused built-in sound, but the speakers were plugged into the PCI card and I had previously configured the PCI card as default. I am not running KDE though, and it sounds like you problem might lie there. Apparently alsaconf may have problems prior to alsa-utils 1.0.14-2 [1]. I think I'll upgrade to Lenny soon (alsa-utils 1.0.15-1). Glad you got it fixed.
