    I had a similar problem and one of 2 things got rid of it:

1) I switched the Control Center-> Sound & Multimedia-> Sound System-> 
Hardware->Audio Device from Auto Detect to Open Sound System.

2) My SuSE 9.3 system had been installed via the "upgrade" option.  A 
clean new copy solved a lot of small problems (but incurred a lot of 
extra hours getting things reset.)

    Someone with more savvy might give reasons why these changes worked.

My system:
   Linux 2.6.11.4-21.17-smp
   KDE 3.4.0 Level "b"
   SuSE 9.3
