Not sure if this will actually help you but I recall thinking my sound wasn't working 
after a recent KDE install. Turned out that it was simply installing the desktop 
without explicit sound assignments for system events (so it merely seemed like sound 
wasn't working, yet no pop up errors when KDE first started - not what I was used to 
with default RH installs in times past). 

First verify that arts is being started automatically (under control center -> 
sounds/multimedia -> sound system) While there try the "test sound" button. Then if 
everything looks okay go to control center -> sounds/multimedia -> system 
notifications and assign/test specific sounds for whatever events you want.

Hope the answer to your problem is this simple :)
