audio mixer suddenly disappeared

Hello all:

I was just contemplating the upgrade to FC4 when my previously-working
sound stopped completely. I'd be very grateful if anyone could help with
this. Here are the particulars:
* FC3, kernel 2.6.11
* Gnome
* There are no channels available when I try to adjust the sound volume
preferences.
* If I try to open the volume control, I get the error "Sorry, no mixer
elements and/or devices found."
* In the hardware browser, my sound card still appears: Creative Labs SB
Live! EMU 10k1, driver snd-emu10k1. Thus far I'm believing that the
system knows about the hardware and the correct driver, but has lost the
mixer somehow.
* After doing some research, I checked my modprobe.conf file, which
reads as follows:

alias eth0 3c59x
alias snd-card-0 snd-emu10k1
options snd-card-0 index=0
install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1
&& /usr/sbin/alsactl restore >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
remove snd-emu10k1 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store >/dev/null 2>&1
|| : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-emu10k1
alias usb-controller uhci-hcd
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd

* The last thing I did to my system was plug my printer into it, which
worked perfectly the very first time (ie: nothing weird happened). I
also plugged in my USB scanner, which the system didn't detect, but
until I get the sound working again I'm not worrying about that.

Any ideas?
