Did you remove this file before switching to KDE 4?

KDE 4 uses the first working ALSA device that it can find on my Sid
system.

Place the mouse pointer over the line with the Audigy card in the System
Settings > Multimedia > Device Preference list, then wait for about one
second without pressing any mouse button. You should see a passive
pop-up window that tells you which output devices will be tried. Compare
this with the output of
aplay -l
to make sure the right card and device are tried first.
