I use KDE and I found that in my case there was a simple way to make it all work.

All I did was create a new file called /etc/asound.conf with the following
lines in it.
pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}

ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}

Then logout and back in - in my case this all worked!

If this works for others also it should be included in the common f8 bugs page.
