Go into Configuration, KDE, Sound, Sound System You should see a checkbox with start aRts soundserver on KDE startup and if you are running arts, it will be checked. Uncheck it and then you can just issue a ps -k artsd or logout and log back into KDE BTW, if you go to the Sound I/O tab, there is a checkbox for Enable full duplex operation. I have that box unchecked now because the noises that I was hearing on multiple application access actually got better when I unchecked that option. However, then you can only listen to one thing at a time. You might try playing with that setting to see what happens. AFAIK, the SB Audigy is perfectly capable of full duplex operation and should have no problems supporting it but with proprietary hardware, there are all kinds of possible issues with the linux driver implementation. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
