%play /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav play: /dev/dsp: Operation not supported by device I get that same message after I've shut down the arts server However artsplay /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav works fine as long as artsd is running %ps -ax | grep arts 14333 p0 S 0:01.69 artsd 14343 p0 R+ 0:00.00 grep arts If you have KDE installed, try: %artsd & %artsplay /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Beep_Ahem.wav You should hear Mr Ahem clear his throat right from the command line.
