Solved the Arts problem. in ~.kde/share/config/knotifyrc Arts init and Use Arts were set to false. Putting them to true got my system sounds back. I am not sure how they got set to false, I did not do it manually Your coments hephaistos06 regarding the .kde folder in another post helped get me on the right path. thanks.
Sound card is a ATI IXP AC97 No alsastart command in Mepis 3.3, But xmms plays sound through alsa so I assume it is started. also the arts man has my very problem. It says to set permisions on /etc/dsp to read/write for everybody. However my /etc/dsp file is alink without permissions? I am starting to hate sound problems too. richb@1[~]$ lsmod Module Size Used by snd_seq_oss 30592 0 snd_seq_midi 6304 0 snd_seq_midi_event 6272 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 46736 5 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,sn...
I have a similar problem in Mepis 3.3. External players have sound, but I have no system sounds. All sounds are enabled in control center, and I have tried both auto and alsa for the sound system. Also did an alsaconfig. Curious thing they are working when I log on as root. It does not appear to be ablocking problem because no other sound app is running.
I have lost the abilityto view jpegs with any KDE applications, including as backgrounds to my desktop. I have located a library libjpeg62 in my /usr/shr/doc folder. Is there a configuration file I need to update to show the path to this library file, or another one that gives jpeg functionality? My distro is Xandros 2.0
