Try changing device priority for video in the Device Preferences for video to your 
HDMI output. You might try editing different sections to prefer different devices. I 
find that often flash video (ie youtube) does not follow the "rules", for example.

Another thing to try is, while playing a video, open Kmix, right-click somewhere on the 
output stream for vlc or dragon, and move the output to the desired device. 

I don't think it is a kmix problem per se, though you might try veromix just to see if it 
make it easier to manage this for you.
