I found the answer so in case anyone else has this problem:

go to your kde settings - $HOME/.kde/share/config

find knotifyrc and edit the file directly. Apparently it is a bug with
the KDE Control Panel. Also for those ppl whose sound is crashing
(artsd) set the external player to "artsplay".

I had no idea there was this many noises!!!! lol

Sorry if everyone knows but I spent ages on this and wanted to share :)
Now if only I can get my desktop fixed up!
