I would simplify; drop out of X; make sure there's no sound daemons 
running (arts, esound, etc), then try playing an ogg/mp3 with splay or 
something similar. If that works, you know the hardware is okay. Then 
move on to a simpler wm, like icewm; still make sure there are no sound 
daemons running, and try xmms. If that works, then move on to KDE and 
suspect something with arts.
