More info: Going the Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Server route, I can successfully start the sound server if I choose Network Audio System as the Sound I/O method. If I choose Autodetect or Open Sound System, I get the "No such device" message. However, if I choose Network Audio System and then try to start noatun, I get Connecting/Starting aRts soundserver failed. Make sure that artsd is configured properly. I reckon that I screwed up during installation. How do I go about configuring artsd (or even just seeing whether it is installed)? Thanks for the help.
