I would suggest first to try without KDE on the way.
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.
