I had sound, right from install but the volume control was not working. I had to right click it and select "Choose main channel..." (translated) and switch it from mu video card HDMI to "Built-in Audio" Very simple once you think of where to look... Looking in (translated) KDE settings > Hardware > Phonon > Device_settings I see the Built-in Audio have higher priority than Barts HDMI Audio (Graphic card) I think Kmix should default to use the prioritised device. Version: of what? This is a network install from may 5. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Weird: after one reboot it again had got set, and when i tried to open dialog to again set Kmix to use main board audio, i got a message that KDE have detected the unit have been removed and asked me if i wanted to hide it permanently. (Of course i answered no) Without rebooting i could use the other KDE settings panel in background of screenshot to sucessfully generate a test sound on the built in mainboard audio... So KDE is a bit scizzofrenic here... Since then I have set Kmix to use Built-in, rebooted a few times, and it so fr remember my setting. But somtimes/rarely it seems that KDE thinks it is not working and automatically set Kmix to secondary audio device...?

This isn't really something to track downstream. I'm not personally hacking much on kmix these days and actually that dialog you see in comment 2 doesn't even come from kmix anyway but some other bits of KDE. I should spend some time and tidy it up again at some point but right now I've not really got the time. Upstream, kmix has had a good tidy up and thus it might make it tolerable to hack on again at some point in the future. When that lands I'll maybe take a look. But to be perfectly honest, I doubt having this bug open here will do much...
OK i understand. So set it UPSTREAM & WONTFIX? Actually it have survived latest X crashes (Bug 10165) without needing manual correction so it *might* have been fixed by some KDE update already.
I don't think any KDE update addresses this but who knows!
