This sounds more like an alsa problem than a sound card problem as to my
knowledge, alsa will lock out any other software from attaching to the
sound hardware once a program has attached to it. This was the itch that
pulseaudio intended to scratch. Do you have pulseaudio running? Is it
possible to use pulseaudio? Which version of Kubuntu?
