Soundcard not detected at startup

[sleeping]

When I boot up my system, sound is not restored to what it was when I last shut down. To get my sound back, I have to su root and call /sbin/alsactl restore manually.

My /etc/modprobe.conf is as follows :

alias eth0 ne2k-pci
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_promise
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 && /sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && /sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
alias usb-controller ehci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 uhci-hcd
alias eth1 sk98lin

What I think is causing trouble is, during bootup, I see the following line :

Starting mDNSresponder /sbin/alsactl restore 0 load_state:1134 No soundcard found

So it seems that, during bootup, my soundcard isn't detected. However, once X is loaded, I can su root and call /sbin/alsactl restore myself and I have sound, so the soundcard has been detected somehow.

The "Soundcard detection" utility in the System Settings menu sees my card as a "Creative Labs SB Audigy", with module "snd-emu10k1".

Anyone has a idea of what is happening?

Thanks.

Not that I know much about how kudzu works but do you have kudzu setup to run on startup (It's a service).

I actually have a similar problem in that my SB Live doesn't return to the same settings after a reboot and I have to go into the mixer to reset the settings otherwise everything is muted. I haven't got the error here but I know that on shutdown when it returns to the terminal screen and is shutting down services it states that it is unable to save the mixer settings.
