I have had the same problem with MDK7.1. Mine first occured when i
misconfigured the sound card and it seemed to have been resolved after
I found appropriate settings. At the same time, I have a defective
internal modem card and it may well be a problem for KDE (or my setup of
it). I am getting a modem replacement and will see if that improves the
situation.
