Gnome doesn't do much better here, starting by default in 'hide everything' mode. On the pull-down menus, Edit->Preferences and then hunt around for the 'external amplifier' toggle. Hit it, and you should then gain an extra 'switches' tab, from where you can actually toggle it. It doesn't really matter which desktop you use, just toggling the red/yellow bulb in kmix would have had the effect of finding out whether or not that was the missing link to making your sound work.
