[TriLUG] Sound problem

An interesting sound problem...

Running RH8, no kernel upgrades or anything since install.

For some reason, sound stopped working earlier tonight.  I rebooted, and 
when it came to, Linux's vocal cords were dead.  Sound plays from 
Windows (yea, so I have a small Windows partition reserved for when Vice 
City comes out for PC...), so the problem is here somewhere.

I ran sndconfig, which autodetected the SB Live! 5.1 MP3+, but still no 
sound.  Checked the mixer... all unmuted, and at an appropriate volume.

Nothing at all seems to suggest anythign wrong.  In fact, this is from 
dmesg:

Creative EMU10K1 PCI Audio Driver, version 0.19, 12:25:24 Sep  4 2002
emu10k1: EMU10K1 rev 7 model 0x8061 found, IO at 0xdc00-0xdc1f, IRQ 11
ac97_codec: AC97 Audio codec, id: 0x8384:0x7608 (SigmaTel STAC9708)
emu10k1: SBLive! 5.1 card detected

Oh wait, here's something.  /var/log/messages:

Mar 14 21:51:48 host3-null modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module 
sound-slot-1
Mar 14 21:51:48 host3-null modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module 
sound-service-1-0
Mar 14 21:51:48 host3-null modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module 
sound-slot-1
Mar 14 21:51:48 host3-null modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module 
sound-service-1-0

Any idea why this happened and how I can fix?

Thanks...
