Are you sure that KDE (especially kmix) isn't remuting the mixer on start? While mpg123 is playing something artsd won't be able to take over the DSP-Device but to adjust the mixer settings. Open kmix again and recheck the settings. > Is there any possibility to log and view the initialisation process of > kde ? Something like dmesg for kde ? If there's something wrong with your alsa modules dmesg or /var/log/messages could be a good starting point as well. What does mpg123 say when you start it _after_ kde is loaded? Is it simply freezing doing nothing? Try (as root): # lsof /dev/snd/* or # lsof /dev/sound/* to see what programs are accessing the sound devices. I'm running a FM801 card by myself never seeing any such problems. Bjoern
