I have the same problem both with dapper and edgy i hope it will be solved
automaticly so the newbies don't run into problems and reboot to Windows...
should i fill in a bug report for edgy if so please tell me and i will fill
in a new bug report or i will add my comments to an existing one
Someone in the forums shared this with me and it seems to fix the
problem:
Locate the module names of your sound cards with:
less /proc/asound/modules
mine was:
0 snd_emu10k1
1 snd_ice1712
In /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base replace:
install sound-slot-0 modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1
just learned that in addition to Audacity not working when it boots as
usb the sound on flash doesn't work either. If it boots as intel I
can watch and listen to youtube for instance, but when it boots as usb
I can see but not hear the video.

default sound card is randomly set on boot,
Granted I am new to Ubuntu and Linux but this had been driving me crazy.
The sound works; the Volume Control preferences show the correct Intel
ICH5 (Alsa mixer) default card; but for no apparent reason, system sound
preferences default to usb device ox46d:ox8b2, even when the volume
control
I can confirm all these bugs. I have a M-Audio Revolution 5.1 + MSI K9N
Platinum/NVidia 570 MCP/Realtec ALC883/AC'97/Azalia 1.0/Intel HD
Audio/Whatever and I'm running the AMD64 version of Ubuntu 6.06.
Partial workaround (thanks Nespa):
Open terminal and type:
sudo gedit
