Make sure that the OSS "emu10k1" module is not loaded. Set the KDE
soundserver to auto or better ALSA. Try if you can get sound before you
log into KDE, before the KDE sound server is started. Disable KDE's
option for restoring and setting the volume settings, set the volume
with alsamixer or alsamixergui, and run /etc/init.d/alsa to save the
settings. Also make sure your card is supported by the snd-emu10k1
driver (i.e. that is a real SB Live!, not the so called SB Live! build
by Dell).
