I've seen
this before, when logging in with the same account
between two systems that have different sound hardware.
Try terminating kmix, delete the two kmix* rc files, then start
kmix.
Good thought. I killed it, removed the
.trinity/share/config/kmixrc and
restarted. No change and no regeneration of kmixrc. I'll keep
poking at the
underlying sound system to see if there is something there causing
the issue.
After deleting the two kmixrc* files, the default should be to
autostart. If kmix is not autostarting, then try manually starting
from the command line.
