Karmic: occasional no sound at boot up

[Mark Fraser]

Occasionally when I turn my computer on, I will get a pop up appear saying 
that it couldn't find any sound drivers. Shutting down and then rebooting gets 
the sound back, but it is getting annoying!

If it helps here is the output of aplay and lsmod when sound is working.

aplay -l
