Good day - I see that Kmix causes a 45-50% of CPU load. I am not even running any audio program at the moment - this is immediately after a reboot.

Can anyone advise please?

I have installed PulseAudio recently to see if I can get more control on Volume control etc. Can that perhaps have something to do with it? How do I safely remove PulseAudio?

Lastly, what is the absolute minimum I need to run sound on Kubuntu with KDE?

Sorry for all the questions.

to remove pulse I'd suggest using your package manager and search for what pulse packages are installed then uncheck them

this solved the problem, thank you
