Hmmm .. shouldn't this line also have device=0 at the end?

That dreaded error again ...

What do you get when you run:

 alsamixer -D hw:0

Try muting this just in case it makes a difference (I seem to recall it used 
to cause problems many moons ago).

Hold on!  Have you run alsactl at all?

Can you please run:

  alsactl -d init

to load the modules, probe the cards and reset all your devices.  Then run 
alsamixer to adjust their settings accordingly.

If all this does not help, then all I can think is that something in the sound 
drivers has changed for the worse (regression bug) and that's why you lost 
your sound.
