Hi, I just installed MDK8 all works fine, only the sound in KDE don't work. In licq, harddrake (etc.) the sound works. I think I got a problem with the artsd, but under my old RedHat 7 with KDE 2.1 all worked fine. So here some things I tried: 1. restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsa 2. started 'artsd -l 0' by hand device capabilities: revision0 duplex realtime trigger mmap buffering: 7 fragments with 1024 bytes (audio latency is 40.6 ms) rebuilding bus out_soundcard - 2 channels - 0 clients - 1 servers audio format is 44100 Hz, 16 bits, 2 channels device capabilities: revision0 duplex realtime trigger mmap buffering: 7 fragments with 1024 bytes (audio latency is 40.6 ms) addDirectory(/usr/lib/mcop,) addDirectory(/usr/lib/mcop/Arts,Arts) Arts::MidiManager registered successfully. 3. ne console windows 'artsplay /usr/share/doc/qt-2.3.0/examples/sound/sounds/4.wav' _RESULT:_ UnixManager: got notifyIO socketconnection created, fd = 5 play '/usr/share/doc/qt-2.3.0/examples/sound/sounds/4.wav'! [artsd] ** Warning ** MCOP ObjectManager: can't find implementation for Arts::Synth_PLAY_WAV. Speicherzugriffsfehler (core dumped) In KDE Control-Center I cannot get any information abount my soundcard. Harddrake found an ESS Techn. ES1968 Maestro2 and the kernel modul ist maestro. Thats corrcet and an 'cat /path/to/wav > /dev/audio' works fine. So can anyone please help me? I searched google.groups.com and many other archivs but I couldn't find any hind. -- Best regards, Magnus
