probably the modules do not get loaded automatically. yast would have arranged 
that, normally at least...

do a lsmod when all works, and a lsmod after a fresh reboot. some snd* related 
modules will be missing, reload them manually (as root, "modprobe xyz"). If 
you know them all, then try putting the modprobe's in /etc/init.d/boot.local 
or similar.

and do not forget to check alsamiver, sound might get played, but muted, you 
need to unmute manually. Especially pcm related stuff.. Once the volumes are 
ok, do a "alsactl store" (as root). 

HTH,
 Matt
