I don't know, but we can try to trouble shoot this.

Do you have ALSA installed?  If so, you should have a text mode mixer: 
"alsamixer".  Open a Konsole and run this, and see if it works.  If it doesn't, 
you have probably a soundcard configuration issue.  If it works, I suggest that 
you close your KDE session and delete from the console the files: 
"$HOME/.kde/share/config/kmixrc*", restart KDE and see if it is fixed.
