I actually find that sometimes the microphone is on when I boot and (on that particular laptop) the sound of my palm sliding over the plastic as I type, not to mention the harddrive whirring, gets picked up by the mic and put through to speaker. In my case, if I run the GNOME sound control and change something, it tends to instruct the mic to shut up. Muting the mic (in the mixer) seems to work a bit too. I never did get a root cause figured out.
