Guys,
I updated to 4.5.2 today and on start, kde4 asked to remove all my sound devices. So I chose - 'manage devices'. All of my sound devices are grayed out and the 'default' doesn't work. (screenshot of devices dialog here):

The sound is "HDA Nvidia (ALC888 Analog)" and the same for digital and HDMI. I looked through dmesg to see if there was anything glaring, but there wasn't. (dmesg output here):

Has anyone else seen this with the new kde4? If so any ideas how best to troubleshoot? Thanks for any help you can provide.
I am not a kde user, but.... I did a google search for "phonon sound device grayed out" http://www.google.com/search?q=phonon+sound+device+grayed+out&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 I found the following two links which may be helpful: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=88436 http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Fedora/2008-09/msg01853.html
