Ok I know this sounds weird but I recently installed kubuntu ontop of the gnome distribution. ie in the terminal I typed: sudo apt-get install kubuntu
once that had been installed I restarted the laptop and logged into kde. (I made kdm the default display manager) And the sound worked perfectly in that environment. What is even stranger is that when I logged into gnome again all my sound issues had been fixed there too. Very strange.
