No Sound (Sometimes) on new Z97 MOBO

I have a GIGABYTE GA-G1.Sniper Z97 mobo. It has a Creative Sound Core 3D chipset. I believe the card itself is labled Recon 3Di or something. The sound usually doesn't seem to work. Maybe 1 in 5 boots the sound will work. Even then when i plug in headphones it still comes out of the speakers. I can adjust the volume and everything fine. As far as i can tell Arch seems to think its fine. When in Windows I have no issues. I think its a new chip so maybe it just needs to have some time to get the kinks worked out. Anyone else have experience with this audio chip?

"Or something" is not really informative. Please provide some basic information and any relevant links.

aplay -lL;
lspci -nn | grep -i audio;
lsmod | grep ^snd;
systool -vm snd_hda_intel

Change snd_hda_intel to the module this sound card uses. Depending on your video card, you probably have an hdmi sound card within it, so the systool command will probably work.

It seems like a boot order problem, you probably want to set the sound card in question as default. You can drop the vid and pid part, that part of the wiki needs updating.
