I don't know if this is the whole solution or not, but KDE needs to be told 
that you're using ALSA. Go to the Control Center and select Sound & 
Multimedia and then Sound System. On that page, there should be a Hardware 
tab. Go there and select "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" as the audio 
device. See if that makes a difference.
