Ok there's a clue.
Grab some headphones and see it there's any sound. Running speakers at max can
blow their voice coils.

PS we should change the title of this thread to "The Sound of Silence"

OK, so we know ALSA is set to start automatically. I don't think
we know yet that it is working as system sounds can happen without
ALSA.
(1) Please use speaker-test before login to determine whether
ALSA works before login. Make a note of which speakers it
finds. Can you hear them all? ctrl-C to stop it when you
get bored.
(2) What precisely tain't there? Kmix? Some slider you were
expecting?
(3) In Control Center / Sound & Multimedia / Sound System is it
enabled on the General tab?
(4) ... and is networked sound enable? (Easier if it is not.) On Mon July 2 2018 05:34:50 Gene Heskett wrote:

Hi Gene,
That's good. There's a good chance Kate's suggestion of checking
the controls in kmix will solve your problem.

BTDT enough times to pay for the t-shirt. Tain't there. (5) ... and which Audio Device is selected on the
Hardware tab?
BTW, a possible kludge for your situation might be to disable
"restore volumes on login" in kmix / settings / configure kmix.

I won't slap down on a bible, but I faintly recall setting that option
way back when. And it had no effect, but I think its still on. Due to
poor gain in my speakers, most of kmix has been wide open for years.
