Audio- Kcd opens and seems to play the audio but there in unknown title and no sound from the speakers. The speakers are working fine with this computer.
Video-DVD Inserted a video DVD and get 'Broken-KDE Daemon'
I downloaded some codecs from Automatix and got the audio CDs to play, and I have flash working in firefox. So the audio is OK. But I still can't even start a DVD, I get "broken". That's the name of the drive icon on my desktop. I thought it might have to do with regionset so I downloaded it but can't find a way to veiw it to see what the settings are. I did not download the NON-FREE codecs, although I see that in synaptics under "installed (local or obsolete)" I have both "libdvdcss2 and w32codecs".

This issue is resolved. The CD plays OK and now the DVD plays in Totem. So I guess the Automatix did the trick clean and easy. The regionset should be OK. Ha-Ha-Ha, I found out what "broken" means. If the system would have given the full name of the video I would have seen "Broken Arrow" which is the video name. It threw me for awhile - bad choice of a test video. Again the resolve for all this was downloading and installing codecs via Automatix worked great in Ubuntu, but not so great in Kubuntu or Mepis.
