Configure the audio output of chrome

google-chrome audio hdmi

34,679

Solution 1

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.

Solution 2

In Linux:

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

sudo apt install pavucontrol
pavucontrol

ES6/React/Node.js/Docker/Kubernetes I like continuous integration and tight development feedback loops. Some real world problems I'm particularly interested in working with are traffic and congestion, logistics, climate change, behavioural economics, mental health and wellbeing. I also like pinball.

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?

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

How would this work with pipewire?
