All three of these are variations on the ALSA driver not
being loaded yet.

Yes. "modprobe" causes the driver modules to be loaded.
This should happen at boot time by a script in your init.d
directory called "alsasound" which should also save and
restore your mixer settings when you shutdown and boot up.

My guess is that your system is not running the "alsasound"
script. See the RedHat docs for how to get this script to
run when you boot or change run levels.
