Hi

I am at home, so I did try it out. What I discovered is that the MIC was 
already muted, but the speaker was around middle. So I muted it, and 
rebooted. When the machine was coming up, and the module was loaded, the same 
experience awaited me. Screaming sound. However this time, it became silent 
when KDM loaded up. Before it only became silent when I logged in already. 
And also, when I reran aumix the speaker volume was back to the previous 
state, around middle position.

Thanks
