Yesterday i did fresh install of Arch with the new snapshot 2010.05 , after installation I did pacman -Syu and then installed xorg and finally KDE . I did the minimal installation of KDE i.e is kdebase-workspace and kdebase-konsole and kdebase-dolphin . As it was suggested in Wiki I installed gstreamer10.0-plugins and phonon-xine and in the multimedia setup i have already preffered default option above all as it was also suggested in wiki but I still cant hear any sound in the normal user account of kde . My sound card is VIA VT1708B 8-CH .
Sound is working perfectly in gnome and xfce . It is also working fine in Kubuntu , Opensuse(KDE) . Its just dont work in Arch linux if I install KDE .
If somebody have solution of this problem please help , i really want to use KDE in arch linux . If you guys need any additional information then please tell me.
Thanks .

are you a member of the audio group? did you install kmix to unmute possibly muted audio outputs?

Also you mentioned it worked in Gnome and XFCE but you didn't say which distro; if you meant Gnome and XFCE in Arch then disregard my next sentence. Did you configure ALSA during the Arch install? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide#Part_III:_Install_X_and_configure_ALSA

@ Labello

@herrvideman
