Can't say, as I have been in Xfce for weeks, as KDE seems to have a video 
issue with my Intel graphics (whole screen goes milky green and hangs). I 
recently went back into KDE with all updates and the sound issue happened 
again and again. Shame, as I use it on my other box, and it works great. I've 
tried debugging both issues, to no avail.
