Sound output on the PC is only connected via the HDMI cable to the TV, via
the ATI graphics adapter.

KMix on Kicker show a line through, as if muted, though volume level indicator
is all the way up. Though now I'm all about getting things working as expected
on one particular installation, the strike through on the KMix icon is a too
common sight here.
Pavucontrol actively confirms system sounds not working, though
others are, by window flashing like I've never seen. Its sound bars indicate
activity when system sounds are expected, such as clicking the test button in
KControl.
In KControl, all settings seem defaults for General and Hardware, Enabled on
the General tab, and Autodetect on the Hardware tab's select list. The only
box there checked is Full duplex. System Notifications appear all to be on
their defaults.
All these packages are installed:

What does it take to enable system sounds in this situation? Is KMix getting
in the way of something, or being lead astray by pavucontrol? Is there some
other package that needs installing?
