I went out and got a new set of headphones and have verified that

Mine just plain crapped out and installing an inexpensive PCI sound card
fixed it right up. I did have to go into the bios and remove support for the
onboard sound system before going into the boot process. Everything worked
peachy after.

I had installed a new power supply that released it's smoke AND a blue
flash. It knocked out my sound and a harddrive. Luckily I was able to
replace the pc board on the harddrive for $35 and it came right back to
life. So, just maybe your sound hardware has gone on to it's eternal reward?
If you have a sound card in your junk box, try it out.

I ~assume~ you have gone through using alsamixer (for ALSA) first, and then
pavucontrol (for Pulse) after, to set your hardware up first? Ric

The system in question is an HP G72 laptop. No hardware setup involved.

Thanks,
Bill
