Do you encounter any error messages? More details would be helpful. Off the top of my head, I think you ought to change the settings of smplayer to use pulseaudio, as KDE uses it to play audio and stuff. Actually KDE uses phonon, but phonon (at least what I've seen) uses pulseaudio as the backend.

Try running mplayer directly in a terminal, as it will pin point your problem accurately.
