Okay, so I got mad and just shut down all the kmix sliders.  That finally
shut it up.  What's really unexpected
is that I get "normal" (to my low-functioning ears) sound just by turning on

else muted and all other sliders at the bottom.

It appears only one control actually does anything.  Double Hmph.
