Do you have something running in the background which may be monopolizing
your sound hardware? ALL sound-using apps MUST go through PulseAudio for
things to work properly.
The only audio things I can see in "ps ax" are pulseaudio and artsd. Is
the latter is supposed to be running? Wasn't the point of PulseAudio to
replace it? I certainly haven't started it deliberately, does it just
get started automatically if you ever run a KDE3 app and thereafter stop
sound working for KDE4? Surely not!
