The session manager can differ, depending on which one you installed last.
Mine is Xubuntu's because I installed XFCE last (intentionally because I
like theirs). However, they basically work the same. I am surprised that you
are not being asked which is the default session when you switch. I am now
using 9.10, but it is basically the same. My 9.04 did ask me.
I am wondering how you installed Ubuntu/ Kubuntu. Did you use the real thing
or did you install something else such as Ultimate or similar Ubuntu
wannabe?
As for the sound, it seems that it only occurs in KDE, is that right? If
that is the case we can rule out some things such as PulseAudio. I would
start by looking at the KDE settings and volume levels. Unfortunately I am
in GNOME at the moment. It may be that some setting is causing interference.
Do you have anything funky in your system such as more than one sound card
that we should know about? I was in KDE all day. Go figure. :(
