I used a hdmi cable to broadcast some youtube content to my tv (using chrome). I had to change the sound output from "speakers" to "hdmi" to have it on the tv.

Now, there is no sound on my computer only when I use chrome, and in the output choices I only have "speakers". And even when I put some sound on chrome and I go to sound settings -> application, I find that chrome is unmuted and the sound is detected, but still there is no sound for me. How can I fix it ?

I tried deleting the config directory of chrome, re-installing chrome and many solutions found on the internet but nothing worked.

I had the same problem. When I changed sound output device to HDMI, I did it in PulseAudio Volume Control. This made the sound in Chrome disappear. To fix it:

1. Open PulseAudio Volume Control (open a terminal and type pavucontrol)
2. Go to the Configuration tab and identify the drop-down list that contains HDMI outputs. Set that profile to Off.
3. Select profile for the drop-down list that contains your normal sound output (e.g. Analog Stereo Output).
