No sound if speakers are off at startup

[echoforever]

Ubuntu doesn't play sound if I turn the speakers on after startup (instead of turning them on before startup). To get it working again, I have to log off and log in again.

Any idea on how to avoid this?

regards,

The problem has vanished. Not sure what fixed it.
