I have a different problem to yours with kmix and my audigy 2, in that

what is supposed to be the balance control does nothing when you move it

to the left, but fades the volume to zero when you move it right (and

then won't restore the volume when you centre it again). Although I have

not found any of the other various mixers for alsa to be completely

satisfactory, I have not been able to duplicate this particular problem

with any of them, which suggests to me that kmix has some problems

peculiar to itself. So it might be worth your while trying another mixer.

I have got better mileage out of kamix myself. However when I am

completely stuck I use gamix. It's not pretty, and many of the sliders

aren't labelled (at least not for the Audigy 2), but it should allow (or

at least it allows me) to control pretty well every mixer parameter on

your sound card.
