There are two places to typically adjust volume, the speakers and the mixer. Make sure both are set to acceptable levels, and if you're getting any crackling or similar verify your wires are intact.

Rep:
try using, if it is installed, if not install it
you might find there is another slider in kmix that isnt available in other mixers, i had a similer problem and this seemed to fix it
Might also need to check alsa mixer and check all mixer volumes to be displayed in your mixer. One of the sliders may be set too low and not visible atm.
Ah... pulse audio. I've heard it's more trouble than it's worth. would this link be of any use? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/190735
You might need to install something like pavucontrol?

Sound has been and still is imo one of the major problems linux has. There needs to be a single unified sound system... alsa, oss, pulseaudio, esd, a half dozen different mixers that tweak some of the same settings and not others, etc... It's always a major hassle to figure out where exactly a sound problem is originating in linux.
