I've previously posted this to debian.user but on further investigation
I think it is a KDE problem.
I run a sarge system using standard kernel-image-k7 and alsa modules. I
have an Audigy sound card which uses the emu10k1 driver. Since moving
to 2.4.24 I keep losing sound. If I revert to 2.4.22 everything works OK.
Using alsamixer I can get sound to work OK on 2.4.24. However,
whenever I load KDE I lose sound again until I use alsamixer again. If
I go to control centre and turn off "load volumes on login" everything
is OK again when I log in.
Haven't been able to find anything about this so not sure whether I
should bug it.

I and some others have had some problems with the new alsa (> 1.0) and
KDE 3.1. They aren't quite the same symptoms as you described, but in
the end the solution was to set KDE sound I/O to use ALSA rather than
Autodetect or OSS. There's something about OSS emulation in the new
ALSA that isn't working, at least with KDE.
