Is aRTs set to use ALSA? kcontrol (KDE Control Center)=> Sound and Multimedia=> Sound System=> Hardware Tab => Select the Audio device drop-down (choose 'Alsa'). Secondly, you do have system sounds turned on, yes? Assuming that the backend is properly configured, in order to have sounds in KDE you need the following settings in kcontrol: Sound and Multimedia=> Sound System=> Sound System=> General Tab=> "Enable the Sound System" must be checked (system sounds are played through aRTS, and that is the sound system this checkbox enables); Sound and Multimedia=> System Notifications. When the "Event Source" drop-down in this dialog is set to KDE System Notifications, you need to make sure that: 1) valid sounds are associated with the various events (if the test of the sound doesn't play, well, it's not going to play in KDE either), and 2) The Quick Control, when the "Apply to all events" checkbox is checked, is not set to "Turn Off all Sounds".
