Hello,
I installed 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4 yesterday. Sound worked fine on the prior 3-4 or so kernel releases. The only sound option that remained on the Playback tab of Volume Control was a 3 bar EMU10K1 PCM controller, which I have never seen before. I added Wave Surround in to get the rear speakers working.
There is no longer an option for Master and if I check on Wave, etc, it wont add it to the sound panel. Plain PCM option is also missing.
Thanks,
Stephen

_Exactly_ the same here. i386, SB Live!, K7S5A mobo. I have added my problems to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169152

Since there are now more reports than one let me add my 2 cents. I use slmodemd on top of the snd-atiixp-modem module to activate the softmodem on my laptop. On kernel 2.6.12-1.1447 it works fine using modem:1,0 as the device. On kernel 2.6.13-1.1526 it fails. I'm reporting it because the snd-atiixp-modem module is part of the Alsa sound libs.

did you recompile slmodemd on the new kernel?

Yup and I also figured out that it was not caused by the kernel upgrade (doh!). It is caused by the /etc/alsa/cards/aliases.conf file. Here is the error message: ALSA lib conf.c:1578:(snd_config_load1) _toplevel_:51:23:No such file or directory ALSA lib conf.c:2823:(snd_config_hook_load) /etc/alsa/cards/aliases.conf may be old or corrupted: consider to remove or fix it ALSA lib conf.c:2686:(snd_config_hooks_call) function snd_config_hook_load returned error: No such file or directory ALSA lib pcm.c:1959:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM modem:1,0 definition (id: modem, value: cards.pcm.modem) error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'modem:1,0': Invalid argument error: cannot setup device `modem:1,0'
Now if I can figure out what's wrong with the file I can fix it. No luck so far so the search continues.

I ran into a similar problem last week. My laptop hung and when it came back up, I had no sound, and got the same sort of messages from esd. I don't know for sure if it was the crash or some update I did before the hang.
I ran strace on esd, and found that a file was missing (just not aliases.conf). I kind of fixed it my running ainit (as root), but the permissions on the devices were messed up, so I had to run esd as root. I also had permissions problems accessing /dev/scd0.
It's possible that some package update made some devices inaccessible to normal users, and this is just part of the fallout.
