Go into Configuration, KDE, Sound, Sound System

You should see a checkbox with start aRts soundserver on KDE startup and if 
you are running arts, it will be checked.  Uncheck it and then you can just 
issue a ps -k artsd or logout and log back into KDE

BTW, if you go to the Sound I/O tab, there is a checkbox for Enable full 
duplex operation.  I have that box unchecked now because the noises that I 
was hearing on multiple application access actually got better when I 
unchecked that option.  However, then you can only listen to one thing at a 
time.  You might try playing with that setting to see what happens.

AFAIK, the SB Audigy is perfectly capable of full duplex operation and should 
have no problems supporting it but with proprietary hardware, there are all 
kinds of possible issues with the linux driver implementation.
