The stange thing is that after I did PulseAudio/Log test some new controls/sliders appeared in Kmix and I could choose the main channel and there was option for wave surround and this allowed me to control sound level from this one slider in kmix in tray. Although I tried to chack many sliders Line in didn't worked.
