I recently decided to try out gnome 2.6, the installation went fine booted into it, sound worked fine, used xine w/o a problem (same goes for xmms). However when I booted back into kde my sound stopped working. Everywhere I read people seemed to have this problem and a common answer seems to be (artsd 1.2.1 doesn't play nice with gtk). So I emerged 1.2.0 and the problem still persists. I don't remember this being such a pain in the ass, I even remember beign able to use gdm istead of kdm and being able to boot into kde and the same went for kdm and gnome. What the hell happened between 3.1 and 3.2? Also why is it that the only solutions i seem to find for this problem are either stop using sound (which isn't going to happen) or reinstall my entire system (not going to happen either).
I recently reinstalled my entire system (Gentoo 2004.0) and have KDE 3.2.1 (worked fine before gnome). Is there a way to fix this problem without having to resort to esound, I have tried messing with the control center. The test button works but no sound comes out. I can't run kmix because it says that it can't find a device. When I look into /dev/sound i see the standard mixer dsp adsp and two seq.
What am i missing? It's as if there was a line of code in kde that said, woah he just ran gnome, kill the sound, NOW! I know that doesn't make sense however it just looks like it.
