Bug Report to KDE please
Could be a pulseaudio issue as well. Have pavucontrol installed? What
does it say wrt input and output devices?

Hi Rex,
pavucontrol lists "HDA NVidia - ALC888 Analog" for input and output whether
I've done my workaround or not. KMix, on the bottom right of the task bar is what is
giving me a visual indication that something is hinky - along with that whole 'no
sound from the speakers' thing. I've really got no idea what all is in the chain
between KMix and the hardware itself.
Cheers,
Gar
