Next time this happens, run
speaker-test -t sine
from the command line. If that stays silent, too, then you should check
the volume settings with "alsamixer". (Watch out for muted "MM" controls
and low levels.)

That looked normal, which is why I suspect the mixer settings. Maybe
kmix or alsactl are restoring a previously-muted control to the same
state after the next reboot.
