When I used Suse I alos had artsd running, but I never had this issue, so I

I already set the idle time to 2 seconds, but when I launch Enemi Territory it
always hangs. I have to kill artsd and then et runs throuhg. The funny thing
is, that after the kill I can start ET any time and it always works then, it
only blocks the first time I login to X/KDE.
When I disable artsd alltogether in KDE I will have no sound in KDE, right?
I think I can enable the soundmodules via modules.conf, anyone knows how to do
this? I know that in Suse it was configured this way, so maybe that's the
proper way to go. This will also solve the problem that I have no sound when
switching to runlevel 3 and startx via console.
 

Hi,

Are you running ET through artsdsp ?

Arts blocks /dev/dsp the first time it is used, not when it is ran. 
Maybe this was why it worked with suse

bash$ artsdsp <et_executable_here>

bye,

Maxime
