Since (I guess) you have opened the PS3, look around the mainboard for blown components, such as capacitors. I am almost certain you will find 1-2 blown there. When you do, you need to replace them and you will get your sound back.

Big Trouble means that your problem might be a chip or regulator, not a simple capacitor and they are hard to check and be replaced (is hard to find them in the market)
