KDE(3) without aRts means KDE without sound. So that is very clear behavior. 
Either you want the KDE-systemsounds or not, either you want (or tolerate) 
aRts or not.

Maybe try another mixer-app too. alsamixer (and the graphical alsamixergui) 
are direct representants of the mixing controls of the soundcard. But I 
really doubt that is has anything to do with aRts being removed. Unless you 
try to record with an app that only uses aRts and not alsa directly...

Have fun,
