[ILUG] Sound Card Config question

[Richard Eibrand]

Howdy all, 

Anybody come across a problem where the machine seems to forget
the soundcard settings from one boot to the next.
My machine has a tendency to forget this, so if I want to listen 
to music, I have to re-run sndconfig (which correctly identifies the 
sound card in question), do the tests, which work fine, and then I 
can listen to my music.

Its a tad annoying, so I was wondering if anybody has come across this 
type of problem before, or could anyone help me in figuring out why it is 
doing this...

TIA, 

Richard
