Hi, solved one of the KDE sound problems: After I installed the package libarts1-audiofile I could hear the KDE systems sounds. Works fine now. I wondered why I had to manually install this package, maybe there's a dependency missing? I installed only kdebase (which depends on libarts1) but only the kdemultimedia package seems to depend on libarts1-audiofile. Even noatun does not depend on libarts1-audiofile, nor does it depend on libarts1-mpeglib. However, noatun continues to playback mp3 files very badly. Any ideas? Nik
