Yeah, the KDE sound system is artsd so that should be the correct area. > I tried the sound system disabled, restart Noatun but still nothing. > artsd at konsole says: > can't register Arts::MidiManager > There are already artsd objects registered, looking if they are active... > > Error: Can't add object reference (probably artsd is already running). > If you are sure it is not already running, remove the relevant > files: > > /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_SoundServerV2 > /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_SoundServer > /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_SimpleSoundServer > /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_PlayObjectFactory > /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_AudioManager > > So, sound works if I test in control centre.

If you have KDE's sound system enabled, you'll be using artsd. If you have it disabled, then the OSS in FreeBSD should take over again. So in the options, I'm not sure if it will give you a choice to use artsd output or OSS output, but change them accordingly. Other thing to make sure is that the KDE mixer levels are up. The test sound may work even with some levels of that mixer being down, so look through the KDE menus relating to sound for the Sound Mixer. Then make sure things like Volume, Speaker, etc are all up. Also try the "Input" area of the mixer, since I figured out a long time ago that that's really the "Input" into artsd and if those are down it will not give sound either (that may have changed since I used it though).
