[NTLUG:Discuss] sound not working

All
Madriva 2007 - sound was running fine and now it is not - don't know 
what could have happened.  I got this off the "Sound Trouble Shooting 
Screen" from the control panel ...

The classic bug sound tester is to run the following commands:
- "lspcidrake -v | fgrep AUDIO" will tell you which driver your card 
uses by default
- "grep sound-slot /etc/modprobe.conf" will tell you what driver it 
currently usesThe reccommended troubleshooting
- "/sbin/lsmod" will enable you to check if its module (driver) is 
loaded or not
- "/sbin/chkconfig --list sound" and "/sbin/chkconfig --list alsa" will 
tell you if sound and alsa services're configured to be run on initlevel 3
- "aumix -q" will tell you if the sound volume is muted or not
- "/sbin/fuser -v /dev/dsp" will tell which program uses the sound card.

... and I captured the session in a typescript (see below).  Thank you 
in advance for any help you may be able to offer
Regards
Fred James
