Music players/sound not working

["B. Alexander" <storm16@gmail.com>]

I'm having an issue with audio playback on kde 4.3. Amarok and JuK say they are playing, but no sound comes out. I tried audacious, and the audio plays, but it is very scratchy and plays too fast. mplayer/smplayer/gmplayer play normally.

Any ideas?
