The mixer tells me the following:

Mixer vol is currently set to 75:75
Mixer synth is currently set to 75:75
Mixer pcm is currently set to 75:75
Mixer line is currently set to 75:75
Mixer mic is currently set to 75:75
Mixer cd is currently set to 75:75

I went to the KDE control center, and under that Sound and then System Sounds, and I tested system
sounds from there. I also tried the media player under KDE, and didn’t get any error messages
(nothing happens when I try to play the file; the time counter just stays at 0:00). I also opened
the midi player under KDE, and it gives me this error message on its screen: “ERROR    Can’t open
output device”.

Though I’m pretty sure it’s an at least partially an unrelated problem (but I figure it can’t hurt
to mention it here), I can’t play audio CDs with KDE’s CD player. I get this message when I try: 
“CDROM read or access error
cd player: please make sure you have access permissions to /dev/rmatcd0c”
even though I do have access permissions to /dev/rmatcd0c.
