Hi Vinicius.
It's very odd that you have 2 different codecs showing above. This could well
be causing a conflict, and is why you have no sound after bootup.
Could you post the complete output of lspci -v . I ask, because I have seen
before, a graphics card, which has a sound component, which is an hda intel
based one, but using a different codec.

After running alsaconf, and getting your soundcard up and running, would you
open alsamixer, and report back which chipset it is showing being used. It's
going to be either the STAC9228, or the Conexant one, not both.
If this is the case, I'm not too sure how to resolve the problem.
Perhaps a couple of lines in /etc/rc.local, as below.
modprobe -r snd-hda-intel
modprobe snd-hda-intel
Just some thoughts.
Lachlan already suggested this conflict. He also suggested me to use
/etd/modprobe.d/blacklist to not load this conflictive device, as he did
when he had exactly the same problem.
I'm just not too sure what lines to add on this blacklist files.
Waiting for answers, then. =)
Thanks for the point.
Vinicius
