Sorry. My fault. Group audio is what I mean.

You must have 7.1 sound! Please stop your KDE sound daemon (don't
know which one. Must be one out of pulsaudio, esound, jackd or
arts). Open a konsole. Run 'alsamixer. Press F3. (you can change the
sound device via F6). Maximize the console to have all controls in
view and send me a screenshot of that console via private mail. I'll
have a further look on it.
