I just switched to using ALSA (0.9.2). I used OSS before and had the similar problem.
The default startup seems to have the master and PCM volume as zero with both channels muted (ens1371). I can change this and get sound working fine. I then save the settings from kmix's file menu. Next time I boot though, the original muted settings are restored. In the manual a mixer module is mentioned under the sound group (KDE3.1.3 MDK9.2) but this doesn't appear on my system. Is there a way to get reasonable defaults after a reboot?
Should be under:
Sound & Multimedia => Sound System : Mixer
-- JRT
