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.  IIRC OP did not say which sound
system was working before TDE and which sound system he is using in TDE.

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.
