I don't have this unstable sound problem anymore, What I did was just use my backup of AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.2 backup that used NBI 0.8.3 Final (not the NBI 351), I used it to replace the AppleHDA.kext on the NBI 351 (located on: /contents/resources/supportfiles/machine/general/10.6.3localextensions/).
I deleted AppleHDA.kext on S/L/E, run the NBI 351 (that had replaced the AppeHDA inside it), repairing disk permissions, and restart my mini, now my sound always work.

I don't have any backups.
My mini9 is still running 10.6.0. Do think I can pull the .kext from there?

What Audio kext do you use on your Mini 9?
Is it VodooHDA or AppleHDA?

It is AppleHDA.

So I assume I can use this.
And also it wouldn't work if I just copied it manually to the 10v and not install it through NBI?

Yes, I've tried to copy it manually to S/L/E, and I had no sound.

Alternatively, you can download the NBI that I had replaced the AppeHDA.kext and also modded IOBluetoothFamily.kext (enable to turn off bluetooth) here : http://www.speedyshare.com/files/293...ni_10v.app.zip
First you need to delete the AppeHDA.kext and IOBluetoothFamily.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/
run the NBI I've uploaded, then perform repair disk permissions using disk utility, and restart your Mini after repair disk permissions completed.

I tried this a few times but didn't work...not sure what's wrong with mine but at least you helped me get it out of the infinite loop and big thanks to you!

Have you edited the machine.plist instructed here (post #10):
An Easy 10.6.8 Update

Important:

Didn't work for me either. But I appreciate the effort.
Think I'll try a usb headset and see if that works.

I'm happy to hear that, but since I'm still on 10.6.7 (I don't have time to download 10.6.8 update) I don't know whether the sound will always come or not after every boot.

my question: can you turn off the bluetooth?
