Sound card won't work after wake-up

this happens very frequently, when my laptop wakes up from standby the sound doesn't work. what i mean is that there is no physical sound coming from the speakers - although everything looks OK in the windows.
this problem also happens after hibernation wakeup, and i don't know what to do about it.
i'm using a laptop with a Conexant sound card (i guess it's a modem/sound combo) but i'm not using the original drivers but rather using the realtek driver - since the Conexant driver
1) had bad sound (which doesn't happen with the realtek one) 2) isn't supported by windows X64 - which i had planned on installing (although it never really came to be)
