I have been having the same problem, It's not KDE because Gnome and the
other WM have the same problem. I tried ALSA with no luck. For a whim I
tried the trial version of the Comercial OSS drivers and it worked fine.

I tried installing Slack four times with no lukc, the only thing that work
was the Comercial OSS drivers.
