I had the same problem with a nvidia sound chip. The solution for me:
Right click on the kmix symbol (in KDE) and select "Main channel
selection" (or similar in English). Then I see a small dialogue where
I can change between "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" and "High
Definition Audio Controller (HDMI)". Selecting "internal" solved the
problem.
