[ ... ] I'm not sure whether this will help: AFAIK the Volume Control applet is, at least here, connected to /dev/mixer ... so if /dev/mixer is stopped, you'll probably have the dialog box you've mentioned. It should be possible to verify this with a simple fuser -v /dev/mixer (The Volume Control applet has to be working to verify it) If you then see something like that: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/mixer <username> 1283 f.... mixer_applet2 and then stop the process that is connected to /dev/mixer with a kill <PID> you'll probably see the Applet's Dialog window you've previously mentioned. At least this is happening here, on Titanium IV, unstable, Gnome, and 2.4.24-ben1 So perhaps something goes wrong with /dev/mixer when resuming the machine from sleep. If this is true: I definitely don't know how to handle this situation, but at least you'd know what the problem is then. HTH And Good Luck.
