Boot a live CD, then.
When this happens to me, it's because I have more than one sound
device, and the coin lands on a different side one day and another
one is designated the default.
There is allegedly a way to prevent this happening, but it is
sufficiently involved (nothing as simple as adding a string to a
configuration file, or ticking a GUI box) that I can't be bothered,
because I'll have to learn how to do it again in a different way in
another six months. Sound under Linux is a moving target.
If you have more than one sound device (if you have an HDMI socket,
there is a sound device associated with that) try:
Have a look in /proc/asound/cards to find the current card order.
Look in /etc/asound.conf to see if the xxx.!default options match what
your speakers are connected to. If you don't have this file you might
try creating it. Mine looks like:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}
Currently the card designated 0 is the one I want to use, out of three.
But the numbering might change tomorrow.
