After 3 years of Ubuntu, suddenly lost sound

Not that I can see.. It\'s Jaunty.  So I have a bunch of
control panels under Preferences and then another bunch
under Administration.

However if I open an command prompt and type
gnome-control-center then a panel opens up. In there is no
\'Sount and Multimedia\', just \'Sound\'.   In here I can
choose a bunch of sound systems like ALSA and OSS and a
bunch more (why so many.. )  I tried them all and when I
select OSS and hit \'test\' then I do hear a tone.  But also
with OSS selected I still don\'t have system sounds or
sounds in music or video players. :(
