F18 sound issue

> In KDE, if you bring up "System Settings" and then go to "Multimedia-->Phonon" and then look at all the various "Audio Playback" categories you should see a number of entries.  HDMI should be down in the list to give it less preferential treatment.

I have done that but it always comes back later to the top of the list!

New strange thing: I have just plugged my camcorder and obtained the
following message in a popup window:
"KDE a détecté qu'un ou plusieurs périphériques internes ont été enlevés.
Voulez-vous que KDE oublie ces périphériques de façon permanente ?
Voici la liste des périphériques que KDE pense être enlevés :
Sortie : HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog (Default Audio Device)"
which I can try to translate like this:
"KDE detected that one or more internal devices have been removed.
Would you like that KDE forgets those devices for ever?
Here is the list of devices that KDE thinks are removed:
Output : HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog (Default Audio Device)"
