Solved No sound in KDE4

Hi all,

I just installed x11/kde4 on 10.1-RELEASE. Everything seems to be working but I can't seem to get KDE to use my USB sound card.
Code: 
ty@donna:~ % cat /dev/sndstat
Installed devices:
pcm0: <NVIDIA (0x0041) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm1: <NVIDIA (0x0041) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm2: <NVIDIA (0x0041) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm3: <NVIDIA (0x0041) (HDMI/DP 8ch)> (play)
pcm4: <USB audio> (play/rec) default
The device I want to use is pcm4. I have this in /etc/sysctl.conf
Code: 
hw.snd.default_unit=4
When I cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp or cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp4 I get noise so I know it's working but for some reason KDE is not using it.

In KDE's multimedia settings there is only a Default device with no options. I have tried the VLC and gstreamer backends but I'm getting nothing.
 
I think I jumped the gun posting this. It does seem to be working, it's just the test button in the multimedia options not working.
 
How did you perform the sound test? I have the same problem and I can not hear any sounds from KDE.
