Is the card setup in /etc/modprobe.conf to save and restore
An oldie but a goodie - is the cable correctly installed between 
cd/sound card.
I use gnome-alsamixer to do adjustments where kmix or alsamixer won't 
but I think it's not around anymore.
I use to have the problem of sound at the startup of kde,then when 
showing the desktop it stopped mid .wav.
Have you tried www.alsa-project.org lots of info
