Weird behaviour in sound

[Alexandre Strube]

Hello guys,
some days ago this begun to happen, and now this behaviour is repeating
every day: When I reboot, sound is gone. I cannot change mixer settings.

I'm using 2.4.22.2140 with ALSA

This is how modules are when I log in:

[surak at casa surak]$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
sd_mod                 13452   0 (autoclean) (unused)
snd-pcm-oss            44036   0 (autoclean) (unused)
snd-pcm                84612   0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd-page-alloc          9396   0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm]
snd-timer              19300   0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm]
snd-mixer-oss          15504   0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss]
snd                    46116   0 (autoclean) [snd-pcm-oss snd-pcm
snd-timer snd- mixer-oss]
soundcore               6500   0 (autoclean) [snd]

Doing a modprobe snd-via82xx, this happens:

[surak at casa surak]$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
snd-via82xx            16992   0

snd-mixer-oss]soundcore               6500   4 (autoclean) [snd]

Now, sounds play through command-line play; Volume-applet is still gone,
but if I right-click it and choose volume control, all the controls are
there.

If I log off and log in again, everything works, I just have to set
volume up (the are all minimum and "mute" is enabled on the
volume-applet).

Here's my modules.conf, not to say I forgot to put it in here (hey it's
2.4)
