No sound in Kubuntu


I have just reinstalled Kubuntu on my laptop, I needed more space and couldn't resize the partition... When I had it installed before there was sound and I didn't have to do anything for it to work. However this time I have no sound, there is a red X through the sound icon down beside the clock. If I run lspci it shows my sound card. And I can use alsamixer and unmute everything, and it sees my sound card. But for some reason kmix is not seeing it. I went into sound and Multimedia in the system settings, but saw nothing there to active the sound card in K. Any help is appreciated.

System:
Toshiba Tecra A1 - Laptop
Kubuntu 6.06
Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 03)

Thanks for the responce.

I just tried what you said, and still no go. I rebooted in between uninstalling and reinstalling. And rebooted again after reinstalling. Still no sound. Kmix has no options avaible in the Current mixer drop down menu. Is there something that KDE requires for sound to work in it, maybe I don't have everything installed that I need...
