Ooh, that sounds familiar! I discovered that my sound card would
disappear when I booted the system while the webcam was plugged
in because the boot time initialization randomized the order
of sound devices.
I was eventually given the advice to add this to /etc/modprobe.conf:
alias snd-card-1 snd-usb-audio
options snd-usb-audio index=1
That makes the webcam audio sound card 2 unconditionally, so it
doesn't matter what order they get initialized in.
(Why any sane kernel startup sequence would initialize any
removable devices before any fixed devices is a separate
question :-).
