alsa no sound after suspend in Lucid Ubuntu

After suspendig today I noticed that my alsa was gone and I cannot hear any sound coming out of the sound card.

I tried to run the force load the alsa and everything went back, so here is how to fix the problem:

1) create a file /etc/pm/power.d/10_alsa-restart
2) edit the file add the following

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/alsa force-reload

3) save the file and make it executable.


sudo chmod 755 /etc/pm/power.d/10_alsa-restart 

5) On the next Reboot and you are done.

NB I saved by accident in /etc/pm/sleep.d/ and this will create suspend to stop because of the restart of alsa which will simply result in a locked screen which is something that some people experienced.
