The solution provided on the wiki should definitively work. In your case, the device number should be 7. Once setup, make new tests with speaker-test or aplay, without setting the device you want to use (what you try to do is to setup your hdmi device to be the default). Then, only, add KDE on the top. You will probably need to reconfigure kmix as your devices have changed. Regards, -- Cédric Girard
