39 killall kmix may not work in that case. It appears it is running as
40 part of kdeinit. May not want to kill that unless you have nothing open
41 that matters. Not sure what all that would kill.
42
43 You may could just kill that specific process tho. That may help.
44 Another thought, do you not have a Kmix icon in the panel? That's where
45 mine is. It looks like a speaker with some sound coming out of it.
