Try installing pavucontrol and using that to set the output device.

This has not helped thanks though!

This sounds like a headphone jack issue. Most of the laptops have a headphone jack that opens the contacts in the line that return to the speakers to enable them. The HDMI is tapped in before the headphone jack. Did you push a headphone plug into the jack and out a few times. Also check the jack with headphones to see if audio is there.
Out of dozens of laptops I have found about 1 in 20 has this problem. Gold contacts went a long way to helping this, Silver was not too bad either.
