Check in your BIOS if you have, like me, an option to enable audio in HDMI link.

Thank you for your reply.
Got into my BIOS by hitting Esc on boot up
Could not find an option enabling HDMI, there was something about POST sound
Any other suggestions?

Could you open the icon Sound in upper menu bar. Then open tab "Hardware", select HDMI and then check tab "Output".
