Bug Description
For every version of Ubuntu from 5.04 through to 8.04, sound on my Toshiba Satellite SA-50 has been intermittent -- by which I mean it works for a few weeks, then stops working for several months, then starts working for another few weeks, and so on. I've been upgrading regularly.
Possibly related: Whenever I insert an audio CD, I get the error message "The currently selected audio profile is not available on your installation". The message is incorrect, as the list of GNOME audio profiles is empty.

Suspend -> resume -> kernel panic -> restart -> today is the first day sound has worked this year. Just about gave me a heart attack. :-) Will there be anything useful in any log files as a result? If so, where?
