This works fine for me without killing kmix. So you should probably
file a bugzilla entry against component kernel, for your broken sound
driver.

An (ugly, but working) hack is to do it via kpowersave notifications.
Configure the "system notifications" in the control center. Select
Kpowersave as an event source and then for the event "resumed from ...", 
under "advanced..." select "execute a program". This makes it possible to
run arbitrary commands in the context of the user, although i must admit
that it is really hacky :-)
