I also had this but mine is now working.
I remember doing two things. 1. set the external player to artsplay. This worked but it then lagged. 2. removed the knotifyrc file and the syscoca caches and rerun ksyscoca
3. If that doesn't work I think I also ran the desktop settings wizard (k-menu:settings) and that got it working as well.
Also make sure you do not have lots of knotifrc.xxxx files that also seemed to make things go wrong.
If it all fails I think you will need to try an new .kde directory to solve it.

Actually Anderw, for me it took recompiling the newer Arts src.rpm to my system to get things working nicely. I tried all the config files, etc. first, but nothing helped until the recompile. Sometimes that happens with SuSE's files, just a small inconvenience, but aggravating still.

I think we all forget that when working with KDE config files it is always a good idea to logout and login so KDE can re-read all of its config files. I followed the knotifyrc suggestions (Arts Init=true and Use Arts=true) and sound still didn't work for me in KDE. Had to run so I logged out and when I logged back in sounds were working. Stan
