Using pavcontrol / output devices / change that setting. 
Analog Output / Amplifier is for powered speakers. 
Analog Output No Amplifier is for non-powered speakers. Like earbuds...
no amp. 
Then you have two LDE settings, amplified and non-amplified

Put the one that you actually have... I suspect you have it set wrong.

Once you are setup correctly, it should work amazingly well. Or, Kubuntu
has it wrong. I install Ubuntu, then install KDE after. That solved my
issues. 

Pulse is drop dead great, when it's working. And, I used to loathe it
and ranted against it a LOT! :) Ric
