KDE says no soundcard was detected

I am new to linux and installed only recently a RedHat-based distribution with KDE as default desktop.

I inserted an audio cd into my dvd/cd-rom drive and xmms played the music automatically. After that, I replaced the cd with another containing mp3s and xine popped up to play the mp3 tracks. Yes, there was sound as xmms or xine was playing.

Since I didn't hear any sound from within KDE, I clicked "soundcard detection" from one of the GO menus, and KDE said no soundcard was detected even if linux 2.4.18 correctly detected mine as a CMI8330 card. What's wrong?

Thanks for the help. :?:

I am encountering the same problem. Mine is an on board i810 audio which has no problem playing under XP and another version of KDE but I installed a new debian woody system with KDE 3.1.2 and it also said there is no soundcard info, even though I have loaded all the necessary driver.

I don't know if it works on your Distros but have you tried to run "alsaconf" on the command line ? I normaly run that command if my sound disapers from kde. My Distro is Suse, so I am not sure if that is a Suse specific command or not. Try it anyway. :D
