It seems like the issue is gone, but I don't know what I did to fix it.

I fiddled with alsamixer,
then sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pavucontrol padevchooser
and played with both pavucontrol and padevchooser,
fiddled with systemsettings (multimedia) then reset to default values
sudo apt-get install --reinstall alsa-base
installed alsamixergui then deinstalled it (purge)
installed alsa-tools-gui, didn't bother figuring out what this actually 
installed
then tried  sudo /sbin/alsa force-reload

After that sound seemed ok on Chromium in youtube, went on to try
listening to a mp3 with deadbeef and initially the sound was distorted,
but managed to put it back to listenable by playing with volume
controls.
