A:

Have you tried resetting the PRAM? The speaker volume is stored in PRAM, so resetting it may help.

If there is still no output device available to be selected, you could try plugging headphones (or a speaker set) into the headphone port.

 

Sometimes plugging and unplugging headphones several times can "wake up" the internal speakers.
