[gentoo-user] kde3.4.3 with arts on amd64
Hi, I've installed kde3.4.3 with arts on my amd64 machine. Alsa is working fine. But arts works only partially. All notification sound doesn't work. Also I don't get sound when logging in. But, for example, amarok works with the arts driver. Is this a known bug? What can I do? Regards Marc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Regards Marc 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. Hope this helps, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hope this helps, Holly It also can be: - You used -arts in your USE. - You don't have this in ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc [StartProgress] Arts Init=true KNotify Init=true Use Arts=true Hope it helps!!

Well, how were we to know that? We don't know you, we don't know if you know how to set up KDE properly, and you didn't tell us that you had already done so. A user new to KDE would not necessarily find that all so 'simple' as you do. So. Your settings are correct, and even though you don't have [StartProgress] Arts Init=true KNotify Init=true Use Arts=true ... it's not the root of the problem. Why not? Because fixing it didn't make a difference? And if that isn't the root of the problem, it sounds like you have an idea what perhaps is? Shall we guess randomly? OK... have you checked KMix to make certain that it's unmuted and not taking over the mixer settings from ALSA? Do you have any other unusual conditions/setup relating to sound on your system? Multiple sound cards, recording setup? Do you use any unusual compiler flags that might have caused arts to *seem* to compile all right, but in fact break? How have you installed KDE? Split ebuilds? Monolithic build? If split ebuilds, what parts of KDE did you compile, and did you compile them all with arts support? Any further information would be helpful.

On the one hand of all fixing it makes no difference and on the other hand arts is also not working during logging in, for example. Shall we guess randomly? OK... have you checked KMix to make certain that it's unmuted and not taking over the mixer settings from ALSA? Kmix has correct settings too. Do you have any other unusual conditions/setup relating to sound on your system? Multiple sound cards, recording setup? I've go one sound card on my motherboard. The output of lspci is 00:04.0 Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation CK804 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a2) The driver for that card is i8x0.
