OK, forget about kmix - stick it up the jumper, it's bloody hopeless in 10.2 :-( . Someone stuffed up pretty badly in 10.2 with kmix.
Install alsamixer.
When installed, lick on LINE (the bottom part will go grey) and then use the up arrow on keyboard to raise the volume setting from zero to wherever you want it. But make sure that your external volume control, if you have one, is turned down before you do this :-) .
Again, a clear sign we are dealing with totally different issues. In my case it wouldn't matter what mixer I tried to use... KMix, alsamixer.. whatever. Wouldn't make any difference since no audio devices are available... unless I use my USB headset. As an experiment though, I poked around in YAST and looked at the groups my UID is a member of. I added 'audio' to the list, logged out/in and shazam... I've got sound. So... why is it that I don't need to be a member of audio in 10.1 but do in 10.2? There is something on this in the bugs, but from what I understood, it's a workaround, not a solution? Not sure... Anyway, I now have sound working... so I have in effect... a functioning system... but unsure if my solution is the "right" one.
