Grab some headphones and see it there's any sound. Running speakers
at max can blow their voice coils.
There is not enough power to blow the coils of the internal speekers
:-)
But you might want to check the settings with "alsamixer" or
"amixer",
maybe the speekers are set to "mute" (and kmixer cnnot unmute them).
BTDT, everythings fine.

And just how do I accomplish that when no one is logged in? I've
tried /path/to/aplay /path/to/file in /etc/rc.local and its as if its
ignored. There are other things in rc.local that do get done. Not there
now as I took it out when it didn't work.

The mobo audio, I took a pretty good SBLive out to make pci slot room for
something else years ago. A firewire card IIRC.
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.
