Whenever I launch kde (from startx) I get a message saying that 'sb
Live! 5.1 [SB0060] (rev.7, serial:0x80611102)' is disabled and it is
falling back to 'sb Live! 5.1 [SB0060]' ..... and then the 'kde
startup' sound plays and sound works perfectly. If I open
systemsettings and click 'multimedia' and then 'phonon' it shows both
of these devices with the former greyed out (it says 'this device is
currently not available' when you mouse over it).

Anyone know wtf is going on? Sound works perfectly in kde..

I ran into this a good while back.  I deleted the config file then 
logged out and back in.  It fixed it and I haven't heard a peep out of 
it since.  The file should be this one and here:

/home/<user name>/.kde4/share/config/phonondevicesrc

Replace <user name> with your user name of course.

Hope that helps.

Dale

I'll give that a try, thanks!
