My sound was working perfect up until a few days ago. I plugged my earbuds in to listen to something and since then I cannot get sound through HDMI

I've tried the recommendations on ItsFOSS but no luck. If anyone could give suggestions, you would make my day.

Have you checked already the settings under "Configuration" tab in PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol)?
I suppose that's one of the ironies of life, doing the wrong thing at the right moment -C.C.

Screenshots often are not that useful. Is that the only option in that popdown menu?

It's a big long list of options from Analog to 7.1 Surround Sound. The dropdown menu won't let me take a screen grab to show all the choices.

Are you using the onboard HDMI/ Built in audio? or from the Graphics card?
The later you should turn off the built in audio , should be one of the options. then disconnect the hdmi and reinsert it , it should work.

I have an integrated graphics chip. All I originally did was plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the back of the Nuc and sound worked fine up until a couple days ago.

See if this helps any:
aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
If nothing, change 3 to 7. Still nothing, change 7 to 8. Still nothing, change 8 to 9. Lastly, change 9 to 10.
Which, if any, worked?

If I knew what the magic was I'd write it down in case it happens again
