Dale :-) :-) Well, I read through the how to, I had all that done already, I just never had removed the arts USE flag. The sounds works but it is slow to respond and sometimes it just doesn't catch up at all. This is mostly while switching desktops or something that I do pretty quick. Any ideas on that?

And you don't need it anymore - alsa now does everything arts ever could, and more I've also solved a lot of my problems by disabling the arts sound system in KDE and just using straight up ALSA. I think back in the days of OSS something like arts or esd was really needed since OSS only allowed one process to use it at once, but now arts really gets in the way. I was recently trying to do some recording and couldn't for the life of me get the recording software (Audacity) to both play what I've recorded and record at the same time.

[gentoo-user] sound (?) but no sound
Hello, I've managed to emerge the gentoo base, X and KDE and all are running fine. My last problem is sound. After several attemps (with the kernel ALSA module and ALSA-driver), I've got my SB Live correctly loaded with ALSA Driver - at least there is no error message. I didn't load any module explicitely. The system loads emu10K1-gp However, I have no sound. The KDE control center does show options for midi on the SB Live 5.1, I've unmuted everything I could in alsamixer, kmix shows there is a sound device there. But kinfocenter says there is no information about the sound device, and when I start Amarok, it says there is no suitable demux plugin. Everything has been compiled with the arts and oggvorbis flags, and I did an emerge -e word to ensure everything had been compiled with the actual flags. What am I missing?

While not gentoo specific, this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems has some good sound debugging info that helped me set up a kubuntu system. I did try most of the commands on my working gentoo system while debugging to give myself a reference.
