This should have worked, if you have a speaker connected to the out
port on the on board sound device (the green one).
The audio came back yesterday, but hard to tell what was the culprit.
Anyway yesterday I updated every package to the latest from repo and
tested different things. I stumbled upon a software called PulseAudio
Volume Control and in its Output Devices tab I fiddled with its knobs
and suddenly the audio was back.
One thing that might also play into this is that the OS shows two
output devices, when in reality I only have one monitor with built-in
speakers that I've been using since always. Settings -> Sound shows two
output devices, both named HDMI/DisplayPort - Built-in Audio.
PulseAudio Volume Control shows Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI)
twice.
Thanks for all the help
