Hi :) How's that for a quick response? It's not a KDE issue, as you guessed, but anyways:
Look at /dev/audio, which should be your sound device. It should be: crw-rw---- 1 root audio 14, 4 2002-03-14 21:51 /dev/audio This means unless you're root, OR a member of the audio group, you can't write to it. The best way to do this is to add the user/users in question to the audio group ie usermod -G audio <username> If you really don't care about permissions, you *can* make /dev/audio read/writable by anyone, although on a multiuser system, this has some security issues (people listening through your microphone, or playing audio at 3am to wake you up?)
