Did it work before you upgraded to 4.5? I had another report where it turned out the user started KDE from startx instead of KDM. This bypasses the consolekit-based setting of permissions on the sound devices. We looked at the permissions and ACLs on /dev/snd* and saw he had no access to the sound devices. (using ls -l and getfacl). You can also try wiping out ~/.kde4/share/config/phonondevicesrc - this did not help in the above case though. Other diagnostics to try include disabling pulseaudio. We are working to make PA usable in KDE for 11.4 but we're only testing it on 11.3 at the moment so you are in uncharted waters - the PA version in 11.2 may be too old for the PA integration in KDE 4.5.
