Did you plug a usb webcam to you computer recently? At startup, those
nice usb webcam with integrated microphone gets registred as audio
device. When kde or mostly any default configured application is trying
to use audio, it uses the first audio device it finds, aka the webcam
and not your onboard audio device which is second. There are 2
workaround there

1) do not plug webcam before booting, plug it later, this way, it's
audio microphone is not registered as first audio device

2) i know there is the possibility to edit your alsa configuration files
to force the ordering of your audio device. Don't remember how however.
