Agreed, I'm not 100% sure that KDE is to blame, but I updated everything,
rebooted, logged int gnome, sound worked, I player with removing and
reloading audio module. Sound worked fine in Gnome. I logged to KDE, got
the message and sound stopped working both in KDE and in Gnome.
That is why I made slightly comical title "KDE ate my sound card" and not
"F*CK KDE, it killed my sound" or something similar.
I'm just interested how to get sound back working again, any tips/tricks
or suggestion are more than welcome, and I'll share back what I found out
about this issue. So hopefully other users don't get bitten with by same
situation.
What sound devices are listed in KDE?
