I know this won't help you but I'm having similar problem with my vaio laptop. Having recently installed Red Hat 9 on it whenever I try to play a sound the system has a total lockout and the only way back is to push the big red button. I'm not too worried about sound (although it would be nice) but the other problem comes when I try to switch desktop environments from GNOME to KDE. As the KDE environment is booting the same lockout occurs before login. All very frustrating as I can't get back to the working!! environment. I have searched around the forums and tried all sorts of things, ALSA, ACPI but being a Linux Virgin as yet the same problem persists...Any ideas anyone?
