I am sure you are right - the problem is that the Kubuntu install does 
not include it (Ubuntu Gnome and Kubuntu KDE are not the same) and there 
are no settings in System Settings (at least not with my Intel HDA card) 
for Pulseaudio.

So unless you do what I do - research around (in this case I vaguely 
remembered having seen something on this list) you may be very lost
