well, I'm just guessing, but the command setup in the xmms menu contains soundwrapper that can mess up some folks, or maybe as a result of your turning arts off. You could in a text editor, edit your /home/<you>/.kde/share/applnk-mdk/Multimedia/Sound/Xmms.desktop and just remove the soundwrapper from the exec command. You might even take it out of your /usr/share/applnk-mdk/Multimedia/Sound/Xmms.desktop too. hth, -s
