I have similar problem of erratic sound. After some bootloads the system correctly plays sound at login and in applications (Firefox with Flash plugin playing a streaming video from web site); other times sound does not play. Seems to be random. Onboard sound is SiS SI7012. It is disabled in the BIOS setup. PCI sound card is C-Media PCI IEC958. I setup the sound preferences to use the C-Media PCI card. I'll play with it some more to see if the wrong sound chip is detected and set as the active sound device. Maybe Ubuntu can detect the "inactivated" sound chip because it disregards the BIOS and can find the sound device on motherboard by probing even though onboard chip is set as inactive in BIOS. If that's what's happening, maybe this radomness is due to a race condition where one or the other chip is detected first, depending upon random fluctuations of some hardware device.
