Is arts running ? What is your hardware,
Yes Artsd is running. The sound server works in every application except in KDE Media player. If i run XMMS with the artsc plugin it works, XINE with the Artsc plugin works, gaim with the artsc plugin works. My hardware is maestro 3i I believe that is how it is spelled, running on a Dell Inspiron Laptop, But I have also seen the problem reproduced in 3 other desktop machines. One was running on a VIA motherboard on board sound "Via technologies, inc. AC97 Audio COntroller" one was running a old Soundblaster 16 sound card and one was running a ESS audio sound card. The media player gives this output when run on the current cooker. Internal Vis KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2 KCrash: Application Name = noatun path = <unknown> pid = 2338 noatun: ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! On mandrake 8.1 it have a "unix:/dcop-tmp cannot connect to server" or something similar error message. This was with the version of kde, 2.2.1 , that came with Mandrake 8.1 and also the update 2.2.2 and the current cooker 2.2.2 When i forced a install of the redhat kdemultimedia rpm on top of the mandrake one using mandrake 8.1 it corrected the problem and the media player started working perfectly. ALso when the media player crashes it crashes the sound server with it. I have to restart the sound server for any sound to work.
