[Bug 57455] Sound works sometimes on boot - sometimes not

Public bug reported:

Kubuntu installed from 6.06 i386 cd - kept updated using software update
utility included with kubuntu.

When it does not work, the sound card still appears to be detected and
configured.  No sound output happens, however.

sudo alsamixer allows you to change volume - yet - no sound...  not
muted in alsamixer either.

I do not see any difference when the sound does work, either...

Sound appears to play in kde... but no sound comes out of speakers...

I do not know how to reproduce this bug other than reboot - I did see
some others in the ubuntu forums having same problem, however.
