The way to gain sounds in KDE is to look for a line in /usr/bin/startkde
that begins:
LD_BIND_NOW=kinit +kpanel ... kwrite
and change it to: LD_BIND_NOW=kinit +kpanel ... +knotify kwrite
The ellipses are not actually on the line, they are just indicating that you
add the word "+knotify" before the next-to-last word of the line without
changing anything else.
Personally, I've found the artsd sound server that KDE uses to be not-very
good, but at least you will get sound the majority of the time.
