I'm using Monsoon USB speakers.

I tried switching sound to "built in" and that didn't work - but I just 
went back to check that it works now and noticed that the built in 
volume was turned all the way down.  I'll check that next time my sound 
croaks.

At first, I thought it was associated with iChat, because it seemed to 
be the application that was needing to make a sound when the sound quit 
- but lately I've had it croak when iChat isn't up. I can't correlate 
it to any application or anything I'm doing. Last night it quit in the 
middle of iMovie.
