Sound card no longer working. FC7 2.6.21


After an upgrade to FC7, I enjoyed weeks of blissfull sound-filled computation, but now all of a sudden, it no longer works! I get this error when starting the volume manager:

Code:
No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.
system-config-soundcard feeds back my soundcard correctly, but lists no PCM devices, I've never used it before (soundcards always worked) so I don't know if thats relevent or not

lspci shows:

Code:
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60)
looks like the card is fairly well recognized, maybe a driver issue...I just finished updating the system and included in the packages was a few ALSA updates, I hoped they would fix it but alas, they did not.

Thanks to everyone!

EDIT:

output of lsmod:

yikes! Thats looks nothing like it usually does...theirs like nothing there! I'm not seeing anything for the sound card either...but after some research I can't find what it wants.

(Info that might be useful...)
Notice the rt2570 at the top? Thats for my wireless card, and to get that to work I had to blacklist 3 modules (rt2500usb, rt2x00usb,rt2x00lib), seems impossible, but that wouldn't have anything to do with this would it? The problem might have started right after doing that, I don't know. I didn't notice the problem for awhile.

HOLY CRAP EDIT:

I updated to kernel 2.6.22, and sound worked.

BUT....

Internet does not. I write this from the old 2.6.21 with no sound. The folder "/lib/modules/2.6.21-1.3194.fc7/kernel/" which on 2.6.22 has a bunch of folders, has nothing. I assume that is the source of all the problems, but where did it go!?!?

Seriously, literally nothing, what could have happend...
