We don't know you, we don't know if you know how to set up KDE properly, and you didn't tell us that you had already done so. A user new to KDE would not necessarily find that all so 'simple' as you do.
So. Your settings are correct, and even though you don't have [StartProgress] Arts Init=true KNotify Init=true Use Arts=true ... it's "not the root of the problem". Why not? Because fixing it didn't make a difference? And if that isn't the root of the problem, it sounds like you have an idea what perhaps is? Shall we guess randomly? OK... have you checked KMix to make certain that it's unmuted and not taking over the mixer settings from ALSA? Do you have any other unusual conditions/setup relating to sound on your system? Multiple sound cards, recording setup? Do you use any unusual compiler flags that might have caused arts to *seem* to compile all right, but in fact break? How have you installed KDE? Split ebuilds? Monolithic build? If split ebuilds, what parts of KDE did you compile, and did you compile them all with arts support? Any further information would be helpful.
