I do recall using Energy ROM once when 2.5 was still a resource HOG and not being able to even open YouTube with an insufficient memory error. It's odd that it will run but no have enough memory to do sound. Just doesn't sound like that is what is causing it but it is definitely a possibility. Especially since I reread what you said about it working right after a soft reset but not a couple hours later once the pagepool has increased. To narrow it down, have you tried a ram sweep instead of a soft reset? If you do a ram sweep and it works then I would say you are correct. If it still does not work, there is something else going on.
