Hello Tom. Are you still running FC5? I ask because I couldn't find anymore 
updates for it since it's come to end of life. If you did get updates for it, 
what were they, that resulted in your sound problems. As user run:
rpm -q -a --last

Near the top of the list will be the latest updates.

Do you have any audio related stuff plugged into the USB? It wouldn't be the 
first time that an update had caused, for instance, in my case my USB midi 
keyboard to be set as card0, and the soundcard as card1, resulting in no 
sounds. Please post output of:
cat /proc/asound/cards
Also the output of:
/sbin/lsmod | grep snd

Also post the output from /sbin/lspci -v (just the part for the soundcard)

Regarding the aplay "device or resource busy" errors. Sometimes these can be a 
bit vague. Try running:
/usr/sbin/lsof -n | grep /dev/dsp

This should show if something is grabbing the sound card.

Are you using KDE, or Gnome? I use KDE, and am a bit clueless with Gnome.

have you tried booting with earlier kernels? I know this is a problem with the 
default Yum, as it only keeps 2 kernels. I use Apt, and still have all my 
kernels.

All the best.

Nigel.
