Well, my speakers are in, plugged in properly and everything.. but my sound died. It went in the middle of a song that was playing on Winamp. I don't know what the deal is - all the sound's out on the comp.

Have you restarted? It can happen that a process locks it, and no other one can get to play sound...

Let me do that, then.
And there's no more info I can give you.. the sound just suddenly went out for no apparent reason.

It's fixed.. No ideas what caused it, though.
Just kind of happened out of the blue.

Sound locking happens with certain applications...for example...using a mic on aim would lock the sound for every other application to keep background noise to a minimum...maybe something you ran did the same

Didn't run anything other than Winamp. o.O

One time, I disabled hardware acceleration, which resulted in my sound pooping out. Had to reinstall my sound card drivers for that one.
