This often happens when one manipulates the audiosettings and kmix
settings in kde(3|4). When you're using kde try to reset all
audiosettings via kcontrol or systemsettings to the default and play
around with the chanel levels in kmixer. Then reboot and check
again. At the moment I can't reproduce it regulary so I didn't found
a receipt. If you find one, please let us know ;)

Thanks for cooperation
