Sound only works following speaker-test
I have installed openSUSE 11.0 on my desktop machine. On booting, the sound card does not seem to function. There are no system sounds and I cannot play any audio CDs, etc. However, if I start Yast and simply go into the sound configuration, or if I run speaker-test, the sound suddenly starts to function. Following speaker-test, CDs play, etc. I emphasize that I make no configuration changes, I simply run speaker-test and the sound starts to work. Can someone tell me what this process does that triggers the sound to start working? Below are some details.
Distro: openSUSE 11.0
Kernel: 2.6.25.16-0.1-default
When I run lspci, the following line outputs for the sound card:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller
(rev 02)
/etc/modprobe.d/sound contains the following lines:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
Output from lsmod | grep snd:
snd_pcm_oss 68992 0

Thank you in advance...
