Sound problem in FC3

There is a strange prob with sound in FC3 .

I do get sound in Gnome,but when ever I log into KDE the sound goes away,and when I login back into gnome the levels of all sounds and system bells gets reset to lowest level.
How to fix this issue?

Also which video player should I use for gnome ?
I tried Xine 1.1 srcs,but it gives error that it can't find glibc-2.2 and refuses to install ,though FC3 has glibc-2.3.

I think thats a peculiar problem with FC3! But whats wrong in using gnome! I think Gnome is better than KDE!

Check Soundcard configuration in KDE

Try Soundcard detection.It happened to me once when I turned the power off without poper shutdown.

fire up KMIX and see that u don't hv master and pcm muted. then go to control center -> sound. there look for administration and see wat kind of sound server u r using. if u r using ALSA >= 1.9 then select threaded OSS server.

as for video player. go for mplayer.

well I am mostly in gnome and use OSS for xmms.I did try artsd for kde,but didn't work.
Can someone gimme the solution so that the sound doen't turn of coz of switching between kde and gnome
