Use -> from the menubar to choose preferences. These items are:
If checked, KMix will dock in the systray when pressing the window close button. If not checked, KMix will quit on pressing the window close button. Attention: After quitting you will not be able to control the volume if you have assigned keys for this.
If enabled, a left-clicking the KMix dock icon will show a popup window with a volume control for the preferred device (Hint: currently you cannot change this device - it is selected by KMix instead). If the option is disabled, the KMix Main Window will be shown on a left-click on the KMix dock icon.
Show lines to mark positions on the sliders.
Display labels for each of the sound devices. Wether this item is checked or not, by holding the mouse over the icon for each device, you can see this information.
Let KDE restore the volumes when you Login: This restores your personal volume levels, stored when you last logged out. If your Operating System saves the volume levels, you might not need this option (but on a computer with multiple users it is still needed).
Select if and how volume values are displayed: None, Absolute or Relative.
With this option you can turn the KMix main window content by 90 degrees. Sliders, texts and everything else (if applicable) is rotated. There are some exclusions to this rule, most notably the menubar, the mixer selector (if shown at all), the panning slider and the multiple-choice selectors.
