Initialise sound card at startup

[Parameshwara Bhat]

Hello list,

My soundcard is cmpci8738,recognised at install time and configured.It is 
working,but the problem is,it seems to need a hard initialisation which 
the system doesn't seem to give it at startup.Though I have all system 
notification sounds turned on,I hear no sound when I launch KDE or GNOME.I 
run xmms,it plays,I do not hear a sound.In the Mixer,I can see volume is 
not muted and is 50%. If I run Mplayer,it starts the sound for me,and if i 
run xmms afterwards,now I hear the music!

Could anybody point me to a solution?I went through all the manuals in the 
system and net reagrding sound and cmpci setup?Disabled volume setting in 
modules.conf to no avail.I want to be welcomed by music when I launch into 
Linux.

Parameshwara Bhat.
