Just a quick (none technical) thought. I 'lost' my sound the other week
by plugging in a USB headphone/mic. I found out during it detection and
automatic setup it had altered the default sound card from my onboard
laptop card to the "Generic USB Sound Device". Changing it back in Sound
Preferences restored all by beeps. Worth checking if you haven't already.
