I've got Heretic2 and HoMM3 here and working, sound and everything.
The only difference I can see is that I'm running them under GNOME and
not KDE... have you tried to run them under a different WM to see if
they work that way?

I don't think so. I installed my loki games in 7.2 and carried the
same install (/usr/local partition) to my 8.0 install (same machine)
and without tweaking a thing, they work. All I did was re-create the
icons under Nautilus.

I honestly don't know what to say. Maybe I'll try firing up KDE and
see if they run under KDE as well or if I get the same problem.
What version of kdelibs/arts/libarts are you running?
