Default KDE sound not working

Hello everyone, I did an update recently, and I seem to have lost default sound in KDE.  I have been able to get it working with smplayer by selecting "alsa (1.0 - HDA ATI SB)" under the audio tab in preferences.  However, testing all the available devices under the multimedia tab in the System Settings. Here's some config info. Also, kmix says that nothing is playing audio, even with smplayer doing its thing.

$ lspci | grep -i audio
00:14.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
