Re: [SOLVED] Sound and KDE Problem

the problem is the default GTK theme (Firefox uses GTK^^).

I'd suggest you to install the package “oxygen-gtk”.
The GTK apps will look like your KDE apps then :-) (that is if you use the oxygen theme)

Not much to go on there....
Here are some random thoughts as to what to look at:

Did you install Alsa ?
Did you run alsaconf
Did you run amixer and ensure volumes are turned up and unmuted
Does the KDE mixer indicate there is a mixer, or is it disabled.
Have you tried playing with the audio configurations on KDE multimedia system settings?
Do you have Pulseaudio or Jack installed ? (If not, don't install them yet -- get Alsa going first)
Is something else grabbing the audio subsystem ? (MPD ?)
Are you trying to use internal speakers? External Speakers? HDMI? Bluetooth (ack)?

Maybe post the output of lsmod | grep snd
or cat /proc/asound/devices

Please use descriptive titles for your threads - "Couple questions" could be about anything.

I agree to the solution, but would just like to add that you need to do a little trickery: in order to the configuration to be effective, you need to change the selected style from "Use current KDE style" to anything else, click apply, change it back to "Use current KDE style" and restart your GTK applications.

Oh, and by the way... KDE is never bad cool

Satisfied users don't rant, so you'll never know how many of us there are.
