my sound no longer works. its not a hardware error as I hear buzzying when I plug my speakers in. I think it might have something to do with "KMix" does anyone know how to get my sound working again? I've played with the volume controls but to no avail. anyone got any ideas?

Go to the control center, then sound and audio devices, then try changing the sound device to ALSA or OSS or what have you and test the sound. Maybe that will help. -
Re: sounds stoped working =[
I think its the sound driver that has become corrupted while trying unsuccessfully to get my eyetoy working for kubuntu. is there a CLI command to detect my sound card and then install the appropriate driver as it did when installing kubuntu?Comment

Re: sounds stoped working =[
I'm not sure this will help, but my sound also stopped working today( possibly a bug in an update) and this is how I got it back:
$ cat /proc/asound/modules
should give 0 followed by sound module i.e.
"0 snd_usb_audio" in my case, your module will probably be different.
Mine gave 1 followed by driver, not good.
Open /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base as root in a text editor.
$ sudo kate /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
At the end of this file should be a group of options relating sound modules to indexes, namely:
options snd-bt87x index=-2
options cx88-alsa index=-2
options saa7134-alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-usb-usx2y index=-2
Locate module, in my case "snd-usb-audio" and change index=-2 to -0
Now reboot and check that $ cat /proc/asound/modules gives 0 followed by driver and sound works.
