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.

Usually the capacitors are swollen or have burn marks on them. When you locate such issues, you must replace them with equal valued components.

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)
