Nope, it's not even visible :-?

In the meantime, instead rebooting to get the sound working again, you 
could try by enforcing a reload of the kernel sound module:

# list your sound module
lsmod | grep snd

# remove / add the kernel module
modprobe -r snd_nvidia_xxxx && modprobe snd_nvidia_xxxx

Or by restarting alsa-utils service: "/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart"
