snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device - my /dev/snd/controlC0 doesn't exist!

Hello Everyone,

I started using Fedora Core 5 on a Toshiba Satellite P35-S611 a few 
months back, and have always had sound.  Today I got to work and 
attempted to start XMMS.  After taking a long time to run it wouldn't 
play music, but gave me the message, "Couldn't Open Audio:  Please check 
that:  Your soundcard is configured properly, You have the correct 
output plugin selected, No other program is blocking the soundcard".

I started searching the net for answers, and after reading many posts on 
several forums I was not able to find a solution to my problem.  I saw 
where several people had a similar circumstance, and running 
./snddevices solved their issue.  However, after doing a "locate 
snddevices" nothing came up.

While reading the posts mentioned above I found:
Typing "alsamixer" gives me:
    alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
Type "amixer" gives me:
    amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
Running "strace -eopen alsamixer" I eventually get....
open("/dev/snd/controlC0", O_RDONLY)    = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)
open("/dev/aloadC0", O_RDONLY)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)

My sound was working fine last night, I installed a game, but other than 
that didn't change any settings/devices/configs on my system.  I've 
tried logging out and rebooting, but it still seems like my sound card 
doesn't exist anymore :(  Does anyone have good advice for me?

Thank You,

Troy
