Soundcard sometimes works. Sometimes Not.

[Troy Campano]

Sometimes my sound card works and other times it does not. When I boot
up sometimes my sound card works and I play music and hear system
sounds. 

Other times when I boot I don't hear any sounds and when using XMMS and
I try to play a song it says that it couldn't find my soundcard.

Since it works 60% of the time and not 40% of the time it makes it hard
to debug.

Has anyone had this problem before?
Do you know what it might be?

thanks!
