What chipset does your sound card use? Are you having sound problems in any other applications? Have you looked at these threads?

If you have an AC97 codec (as I suspected) one of the above should work. Can you be more specific with what you've tried? Do you have sound issues in any other programs?

yes i do not have sound in any other app supertux, xmms but the sound in KDE at start up still works

i tried installing alsa there was no change apt-get alsa-devel or some such
some thing someone suggested in a forum --> doom3 +set s_driver oss only i used quake3 inplace of doom3 game started worked fine but still no sound

after that i posted here and whent to bed

Try turning off the KDE sound system (artsd) in your Control Panel. If you're not getting sound in anything other than KDE apps, it could be blocking sound to your card.
