Ah ha!  Ok, well now we know it is the arts files!  It's deceiving when 
other things like your tv card works, isn't it?  But that is basically 
how it appears.  All other music, movies, etc sound works, but the 
basic KDE sounds, program sounds, log in sounds, don't.

Ok, it's good to know and it's easy to fix with a new compile.  Here is 
the description for arts-gmcop:
A modular software synthesizer that generates real-time audio streams,
supports midi, is easily extendable, and uses CORBA for separation of
GUI and synthesis.

Sounds like you should install it also.
