This sort of symptom is generally due to a driver bug (failure to
include a power management hook to restore the state of the chip on
resume).

which audio driver is it using?  look through /sbin/dmesg output to
see the configure messages.

for instance, my Vaio Z505S has:

	neo0 at pci0 dev 8 function 1: NeoMagic 256AV audio
	neo0: interruping at irq 9
	neo0: AKM1 codec; headphone, AZTECH 3D
	audio0 at neo0: full duplex, mmap, independent

using the neo audio driver; this driver had a bug (which Jason and I
fixed) where it failed to correctly restore the state of the AC97
codec after a suspend.
