[SOLVED]Switch KMIX back to Alsa channels w/o removing pusleaudio

[MetalHellsAngel]

Hi guys. After a bit of digging I figured out how to bring kmix back to life and have it control all my alsa channels again. The fix was so I easy I was kicking myself

• Close Kmix by right-clicking on it in the system tray & clicking quit
• in konosole run the following command

kquitapp kmix && KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 kmix

• You should now be able to access your normal alsa channels via kmix

To make it run on on startup I did the following:

• open kate or your favorite bash editor
• add the following code to the document

#!/bin/bash
kquitapp kmix && KMIX_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 kmix

• save the document to ~/.kde/Autostart
• make the document executable

chmod 755 ~/.kde/Autostart/kmixfix

• Log out and back in and you should now have your normal alsa channels back in kmix upon login

This is just a quick fix, I'm not a super coder and there may be a better way to add these commands to startup however I couldn't figure it out. This fix works for me and I don't have to remove pulseaudio to get my mixer back.

Feel free to leave feedback.
