Then I will send you a screenshot of my own run levels, or somebody else can do so; or you can do some research on how to set the run levels in sysv-rc-conf.
I'm sorry if I seem to be dogging you today Bill but I do not recommend messing with sysv-rc-conf. Debian and its major derivatives automatically enable everything that is installed and so there is no need to enable and disable services in runlevels as there is in other distros.
Nor does the runlevel change when TDE is started, and the OP said that sound was working until he starts TDE.
Yes, I can hear system noises before I login. Login and they become muted and firefox is silent, until I stop whatever FF is playing and issue the alsoctl restore command, which reports a can't do that, system is busy, but when I restart FF playing whatever, it then works till the next reboot.
IIRC OP did not say which sound system was working before TDE and which sound system he is using in TDE.
Alsa seems to be the tool of choice. I have had some of Leonart P's stuff installed but could not make it work w/o a lot of fiddling, so I took it back out, sometimes with rm. Apt-get seems not to be very good at cleaning up the messes it has installed.
Maybe I can't see the forest because of all the trees, but I can't see any logical reason why starting tde should mute the sound system, perhaps someone could clarify why that is so, requiring an intervention by alsactl before it works again.
The most likely explanation for his problem is that they are different and that there is a problem with the sound system he is using in TDE.
Alternatively, if the before TDE sound system and during TDE sound systems are the same, the most likely explanation is a problem with the TDE configuration of that sound system.
In practice there is not much difference between these two cases. The place to look is the configuration of his current TDE sound system.
I just did, and turned off the remote access and the timeout, we'll see at the next reboot. Usually at about 30 day intervals. 14 days uptime right now.

What about adding that alsactrl-comman into .xinitrc or .xsessionrc? e.g.:
( sleep 1m; alsactrl .....) &
