Help! Can't get my sound to work

I just installed Fedora, the sound worked fine when i first started my computer.. Then I restarted and got this msg:
"Sound server information message:

Error while initializing sound driver:

device /dev/dsp can't be opened (No such device)

The sound server will continue, using nulloutput device."

How can i fix this? Please give me a step by step guide.. Still a noob ..

Pre thanks..

Try restarting X. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace. See what happens. Fedora has a lot of bugs with sound I have found. This is always how I fixed it. Or you could also try Suse. It works great for me.
