Okay, so alsamixer worked ... when I mute IEC958 the hissing from the 
left speaker goes away. The hissing comes back, or in other words the 
IEC958 becomes unmuted, when that user logs in using KDE. I have to 
again mute IEC958 to get rid of the hissing. However, when that user 
logs in using Gnome, the IEC958 is not unmuted and the hissing does not 
happen.

So looks like only that user's some config file that gets read when the 
user logs in to KDE is the culprit. Ideas?
