I have the following sound problems:

1) KMixer's volume control in the taskbar doesn't appear to control my volume, but some other slider instead. Can I specify which mixer slider it should correspond to so that I can use it like a volume control, like intended? I do know which slider in KMixer works for setting the volume.

2) Sometimes after having played MP3s in XMMS, sound in the rest of KDE stops and it goes silent (sounds for system events like opening and closing windows, etc). Why?

3) I get sound in KDE, but Noatun doesn't appear to be able to play MP3s. When I launch it from a prompt, I get the following output when I try an MP3 file. In XMMS it works fine though.

bash-2.05b$ noatun
mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding

My sound card is a Sound Blaster Audigy.
I'd be grateful for any advice.

I have an additional question about KMixer. Each time I reboot I have to mute one of the mic inputs, to avoid noise. Despite the fact that I save these settings in KMixer, it appears to forget it every time I reboot. Any ideas?
