Finally got some time to do some upgrades, so I just did the Plasma stuff. Everything's mostly working, except now I have no sound anywhere. Volume control is still here, alsamixer doesn't show anything muted, log lines are showing up... Audacious even has the graphical audio thingy, so things are *playing*, they're just not audible. I'm guessing some stupid setting somewhere got tweaked, but I can't find it.

Onboard Realtek->amp via optical cable. There are also two Radeon cards which have HDMI out that I never use.

Code:
# uname -a

You might want to check phonon settings and make sure that you have a backend installed via useflag, I like the vlc backend. Also make sure the default device is properly set, sometimes my headset gets set as default device and not the communication device. This next suggestion seems stupid but one that caused many hours of headache for me, just take a quick look and make sure the speakers are plugged in maybu unplug/replug and not physically muted or a low volume
