I had been playing video via HDMI out, and now I've disconnected it, but chrome is still sending the audio to the HDMI device. How can I change it?

In Linux:

You can use pavucontrol to change the audio device of chrome or other applications:

sudo apt install pavucontrol
pavucontrol

  • Open up Pavucontrol and Click the “Configuration” button. Then, look through the list of sound devices on screen and find the one you want to turn off. addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/… > Disabling audio devices Commented May 30, 2023 at 21:40

In windows:

Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound.

Your audio devices are listed there, and the HDMI device has been set to default when you plugged the HDMI device in.

Change the your standard output to the default.

Now restart chrome, and it should work.

    Is it somehow possible to use not the default audio device?
