i've had a similar problem with kmix some time ago, that it was using 100% CPU resources, not memory in my case. after closing kmix try to delete or rename ~/.kde4/share/apps/kmix/ and ~/.kde4/share/config/kmixctrlrc & ~/.kde4/share/config/kmixrc. that helped in my case. upon restart kmix will recreate these dir.s & files, and hopefully behave better.
What i always do is just to kill all these processes and am left with no control over my laptop sound (only to use alsa to control manually using cursor after lunching the application)
if you're using pulseaudio, there's another useful application, pavucontrol, which allows better adjustment of pulseaudio settings. i think it isn't installed by default, but available from KDE repos. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
