Dell Inspiron 9100 .... Kmix attempts to keep volume at 0... if you run alsamixer and HOLD DOWN the up arrow key... it will actually fight you to keep volume at 0. If you watch using ps -A ... it will actually go <defunct> then spin off another kmix ... and keep doing so over and over. Worse yet, there's a huge volume screen that will take up about 60% of the window. It won't go away either. You can't even xkill it. It is a window identical to one you'd get in Windows pressing the "vol +/-" buttons on this laptop. When you disable kmilo in KDE Control Center ... under the Services window... this window vanishes. Filed as major due to the window that gobbles up over half the screen w/ no "readily apparent" way to make go away.

I have no chance to reproduce this. Can anyone else?
Does the same thing for me on an inspiron 9100. Also, the app-laptop/i8kutils package does the same thing when I start it up (minus the window in the way). It seems to think I'm holding the volume down button. I also disabled kmilo to get it out of my way.

File a bug at bugs.kde.org, if you can't find and existing one. Regarding i8kutils, see also 129684. Nothing we can do about this.
