The volume controls in kmix (GUI) seemed to work once I un-muted 
everything with alsamixer.  How all devices became muted (set to 
'[Off]') is beyond me. It would be nice if the sound card detection 
utility could notify the user that some/all devices are muted.  Or, at 
the very least, inform the user about alsamixer.  I tried sndconfig, 
which apparently no longer works.

Thanks for your help, Keith.
