I am right now listening to music from my phone using the same speakers, plugged into the phone. They were plugged into the mobo's onboard audio before I unplugged them from there and plugged them into my phone. Nothing has changed on the hardware since I was last listening to sound. I haven't made any relevant/significant software changes either. I've also tried to plug some earbuds into the on-board audio, and can't hear anything through those, either. so the problem can't be the speakers.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.
looks like Built-in Audio Analog Stereo Line Out (plugged in) Here's a screen-shot of pavucontrol: http://tonybaldwin.me/images/pavucontrol110816124906.jpgwhat you can see is line above "advanced"moving up and down (okay, really right and left) with the doom metal I have playing (but can't hear).
It should be known that I still had sound yesterday after installing ripperx, for hours, right up to 11 pm last night (looks like I had installed it around 12pmish, 11 hours earlier), but when I logged in at 6am this morning I had no sound
