will you look the files sizes from

ls -la ~/.kde/share/apps/kmix/profiles/ if you have a file with a size 
from a 1Mb maybe you want to look at

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264292

the above happens with a local pulseaudio sound server and using vlc as 
backend,

the workaround is at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264292#c4 but 
maybe restarting the machine after moving the files is a good idea
