I confirm this problem with 4.11.5 and phonon, independently of the backend for
phonon used (vlc or gstreamer).
My settings:
Lenovo X201 with an ultrabase X200 and a Medion HDMI monitor.
The soundcard is correctly installed and recognized in yast. HDMI is correctly
installed (but not visible in yast, no matter what) and is working through
ultrabase.
There is a huge list of output devices.
Duplex stereo analog
Internal Audio Stereo Analog
Digital Stereo HDMI output + Analog Stereo Input
Digital Stereo HDMI output
Analogical Stereo input
Off
Now, it seams that following applies: You run one user only on the system, you
set in configuration the audio device. The normal stereo analog output works
and appears in phonon as a choice together with HDMI.
If you have instead more user running on the system (parallel sessions of KDE)
the phonon support for audio is completely broken. HDMI is always selected and
the rest is grayed out. Settings are not retained and if you find in
configuration audio the Internal Audio Stereo Analog selectable, it will not
make any difference. You will select it, but the audio still will be HDMI no
matter what phonon says.
If you join a Logitech notebook video-camera on usb, the video microphone will
be set as output device, no matter what but the output will be greyed out and
the output will be HDMI.
While all this occurs, the audio card in yast that is recognized is rightly the
internal audio card. However the audio device HDMI and Logitech are NOT
recognized by yast. Nevertheless audio recognition for the Lenovo ultrabase did
fail in origin and had to be corrected by hand, setting the "model" to
"thinkpad". Only after this manual intervention the audio card would work with
the ultrabase. Otherwise it was mute on the ultrabase, functional on the
notebook.
Prior: at 12.2 it was possible, to use internal stereo output only. If you
plugged in an earphone in the laptop earphone adapter the audio was correctly
switched. HDMI of the monitor was not recognized, nor functional. The audiocard
was recognized correctly right from the scratch.
With 12.3 HDMI was suddenly on with both, the speakers of the ultra-base output
AND the HDMI speakers of the monitor in the same moment. (Nice sound, not a
nuisance). However the output on headphone was not more functional for usb
headphone and jack earphone of the notebook did also not work anymore. If you
would use the posterior audio plug of the ultra-base, this would give the
desired switch of function with switch off of audio main and switch to
headphones.
Now in 13.1 this is all gone.
All this seams to be a KDE issue and phonon one HOWEVER, I had following case:
Opensuse 13.1, soundcard Creative Audigy FX 5.1 and an Asus Mainboard M4A78LT-M
LE
The issue was: audio not recognized in yast. When recognized as intel HD audio
and setting lags to 3 works flawlessly. But on every reboot, the card
"vanished" and was not usable. So I had to take it off. Sound with this
Mainboard remains troublesome.
The latter could be related or not, unfortunately I can post you only the
output of terminal of the notebook (which I have currently under hand).

As the PC has at times also troubles to shut down after shutting down all users
(reported by me as bug 855115) maybe this could be connected to the HDMI
functionality? Just a thought.
Greetings.
