Comment(by Luposian):

 Replying to [comment:10 mmadia]:
 > IIRC, umccullough has the same issue on one of his pc's. Luposian: could
 you restore the trashed drivers and see if a cold-boot vs. warm-reboot
 makes a difference?

 What would that help diagnose?  If it was found to be a warm-boot issue
 (meaning, if you cold boot, it works fine), does that then mean I'd have
 to cold boot my system every time I want to make 100% certain I will have
 audio?  That gets into the realm of inconvenience.  In removing the USB
 drivers mentioned, the problem is no longer there.  I can turn the system
 on now and test it again (it will be a VERY cold boot -- it's extremely
 cold out in the workshop tonight) and see if the problem is still gone.
 If so, then, as far as I would suspect, it must be the USB drivers.  If
 the problem is present after a cold boot (with the USB drivers "removed"),
 then that lends credibility to it being a cold-boot issue.  But I'm not
 about to cold-boot my system 7-8 times in a row... that's (while do-able)
 rather time consuming and inconvenient.

 An OS is suppose to be reliable... you must be able to trust that it will
 perform as expected when you first boot it, vs. rebooting it a dozen
 times.  Nay, even if you yank the power plug (as Jean-Louis Gassee' did,
 during his presentation of BeOS)! :-D

 If the general consensus is that I really should try this drawn out "cold-
 boot" (with all drivers accounted for), I will go ahead and do it.  But
 I'd rather not have to, if I don't have to.
