There seems to be a bug in KDE where the kde sound daemon thingy takes over your sound card. Try loading into a consule (not in KDE, shut KDE down), do a
modprobe -r snd-emu10k1
modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss
followed by a
modprobe snd-emu10k1
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
and than try doing something without KDE to test the sound. That works for me, its annoying though. I'm on the verge of submitting a bug report. (BTW I am using the ens1371 driver).
As for the radeon, post any more questions you have, I've gotten pretty profecient with setting them up (also check the gentoo forums, theres been a lot of discussion over there on getting it running, '_wedge' in particular knows his stuff when it comes to setting up the ATI cards)

Do you get any errors when you try to play a sound file using aplay?
Make sure the alsa channels are unmuted (alsamixer). Some people have found that you have to mute certain channels and unmute others to get it working, kinda strange... bit of a black art, so far the best way to get it seems to be trial and error...

They did drive us crazy, that's why the wiki was created.
In fact, I'm still crazy!
Yes, you are... in a genius sort of way...

]]>make sure in /etc/rc.conf in MODULES you have snd-emu10k1 snd-pcm-oss (in this order)
make sure in /etc/devfsd.conf you have set the permission to the users to access sound:
something like this:
REGISTER sound/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 660
REGISTER snd/.* PERMISSIONS root.users 660
with this, you still have no sound? any errors in logs? (/var/log/messages /var/log/kernel /var/log/errors dmesg)
