I did so, for all users, and hopefully this fixes the issue.

Now I have a separate problem with kmix, seemingly.
If I use 'alsamixer -c0' in a terminal to monitor what kmix is
actually doing to my soundcard when raising and lowering the volume, I
notice that the 'Master' control slider sets PCM to 100 or 98 when I
raise the volume. If I lower the volume to 0, the PCM volume is also
set to 0. Sometimes when I rise it again, the 'Front' channel is also
set to 100.

Is there a way for me to link the kmix 'master' volume to only
manipulate the master volume of my hda_intel soundcard?
