It happens to me that after a reboot the output of PulseAudio is being
redirected to a digital output, which I cannot hear. Unplugging and
plugging again my speakers makes the thing discover again the analog
output and solves the issue, but I see you have already plugged and
unplugged several speakers.
I would nevertheless inspect pavucontrol to see which output is active.
