KDE4 enforces the use of the phonon audio system, which won't work with the audio chip of my merely 4 year old Asus motherboard, and many others as well. These two things alone are sufficient to persuade many Linux experts not to recommend Linux with KDE4 to people, at least not enthusiastically. Linux must support the older machines found in less wealthy nations.
Did you try every Phonon backend available ? Except for really bad luck at least one of them should work.
