Kmix reports is supports carious driver, how can I change the driver kmix is using:

Sound drivers supported: ALSA + OSS + PulseAudio
Sound drivers used: ALSA

I want to use PulseAudio

Check system-settings->Computer administration->Multimedia.

In the right-hand panel, you should see an entry with Pulseaudio for the sound-card in question in the name. Click that entry. Click test to make sure you get sound. If you get sound, click on the "Prefer" button until it's at the top. Click apply.

That should do it.

nope that doesnt work, it tried it. it think it is a setting somewhere in kmixrc only

In that case, move these files out of the way (to say /home/user/)

.kde/share/config/phonondevicesrc
.kde/share/confix/kmixrc
.kde/share/confix/kmixctrlrc

(substitue .kde for .kde4 if necessary, don't know which one Mandriva uses)

Log out and in again and see if it helps. They're re-created on login if missing to what KDE/HAL/etc thinks are available.

nope it keeps using the alsa driver I want kmix to use the pulseaudio driver
