Hi,
I switched to KDE from Gnome recently (sudo pacman -S kde) and I noticed that my sound did not work as expected any more after removing Gnome. I was not able to use the speaker test in KDE. Clicking on one speaker did not play any sound. Changing the volume did not give any audio feedback as well.

The solution was just installing libcanberra-pulse, see here: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libcanberra-pulse/

So maybe adding this as dependency to e.g. kmix might be useful.
This task depends upon

kdebase-runtime already requires libcanberra, which optionally requires libcanberra-pulse.

Ah, I see. Well it should be documented that the speaker test and audio feedback does not work without this package. We should either put it in the optional dependency description (instead of just "PulseAudio driver") or in the wiki. This issue took me 2 hours of googling...

Specifically, speaker test and audio feedback does not work *with pulseaudio* without this package.
