I tried exiting and reloading my last save, but since I had saved it after the sound cut out, the sound was still gone. I had to load an earlier save to get sound back, and it hasn't done it since then. Still, I'd like to fix it because I know it's probably gonna happen again.

Have a look at this newsgroup thread. Same audio adapter, different problem. But try disabling the adapter's DIGITAL SOUND setting under Windows control panel and see if it helps. Also reduce the adapter's HARWARE ACCELERATION setting to see if that resolves the problem.
