Q: Internal Speakers has gone missing as an audio output

Im using an iMac (2011) running El Capitan. So today I have found that I no longer had sound coming out of my speakers at all (either the built in iMac speakers, or with headphones using the jack). Upon checking the volume slider, I discovered it is greyed out. Going into Sound options, "internal speakers" is missing as an output. My only option is Digital Out.

 

When restarting the machine i DO get a "bong" sound, so its not hardware. Ive attempted just about everything I can think of, including running a Disk Utility scan (passed), PRAM reset (yes, I got two "bongs" after performing it), and SMC reset. After that I re-installed OSX. Still no dice. Any ideas?Screen Shot 2015-12-05 at 7.06.51 PM.png
