I've been assuming you've read the Kmix Handbook, but I shouldn't have,
since I hadn't read it myself. I just had a look, and it's full of
interesting information. In case you haven't read it, try this: Right
click on one of the output sliders, then click on "Channels" in the
drop-down menu. Make sure all the boxes are checked. The ones that
aren't checked won't appear when you call Kmix.

Also, check to see that the green dot at the top of the slider is a
bright green. A dark green indicates it's disabled.

And yes, I see different sliders because I have a different chipset,
with different capabilities. Saw that in the handbook, too. Docs-
marvelous invention, those.
