Not a lot to go on here, but the obvious question is "What changed?"

Getting sound applications to behave with each other and sound mixer daemons
(e.g. artsd and esd) can be a wicked pain in the ass, and probably will be for
a good while to come.  A good place to start is to try mpg123 BEFORE starting
X; if that works, then it's probably an issue of this ilk.

But since your sound card apparently works according to the soundserver test
in KDE, it's not a problem with your sound card; I'm guessing that you
switched to KDE and only later noticed problems with your sound apps.
