sndconfig problems: sound only works until reboot

[Joris Huizer <joris_huizer@yahoo.com>]

Hello everybody,

I have this problem: 
I'm installing & configuring Debian on an Compaq
Presario 1245 - the last part is sound. I was told
this computer has a  ESS 1869 sound card.

I searched on the web and found a few pages mentioning
sndconfig. I gave it a try and got sound working using
the Soundblaster config;

The problem is, for some reason sound is NOT working
when the computer is booted again. The only way I
found to get it working again is, commenting out
again, rebooting (otherwise sndconfig gives an error
about /dev/audio which isn't telling me nothing except
that somethings goes wrong) and running sndconfig
again.

Can anybody tell me what I should do to make the sound
work allways ?

Thanks very much

Joris
