Title: AE: don't disable devices - as detection does not work reliable

This fixes at least two problems:

a) The detection goes wrong on some Intel and nvidia devices. Those users end up with non working HDMI Audio. AMD cards were whitelisted since a long time, as they report always disconnected.

b) If a user boots with his (probably faulty) receiver powered off. He cannot reactivate the HDMI output later, as it is only scanned on startup. Many users boot with TV and AVR off, so end up with no audio.

There are probably better solutions to this. But it should introduce regressions, but it should make audio work for users with the described problems.
