A good finding.  So the possible causes are

- opl3sa specific initialization, such as snd_opl3sa2_detect()
- opl3sa specific mixer element, like Master Volume.

Can your machine suspend/resume?  It's interesting whether the sound
is resumed well with snd-opl3sa2 driver.  I remember it worked quite
ago, but not tested with the recent versions.
