To debug intermittent "no sound":
When the sound is working, save the mixer state and copy the config to a
file:
alsactl store; cp /var/lib/alsa/asound.state good.state
Then, when the sound is not working:
alsactl store; cp /var/lib/alsa/asound.state bad.state
Then supply the output of "diff good.state bad.state".
If the files are identical, it is a driver bug. Otherwise, it's an
application bug/configuration issue.
