Whether artsd is properly configured or no... I would never wager on it, but
I think it's OK. Everything works great with a 2.6.9 kernel, but not
2.6.11.
In trying to isolate the problem, I went into KDE and turned off arts
(Control Center -> Sound & Multimedia -> Sound System -> Enable the Sound
System (uncheck), hit the apply button). On reboot, I do the following
sequence...
1. Power On.
2. Boot a 2.6.11 kernel into single user. (Grub:
kernel /kernel-2.6.11-suspend2-9 root=/dev/hda10 video=vesafb vga=0x305
resume2=/dev/hda6 s)
3. In single user mode: # /etc/init.d/alsasound start
4. # aplay /usr/share/games/tuxracer/sounds/tux_hit_tree1.wav
5. I hear the sound of tux hitting the tree.
6. # init 3 (includes kdm starting)
7. As root or normal user: $
aplay /user/share/games/tuxracer/shounds/tux_hit_tree1.wav
8. Again, poor tux.
9. Log in to KDE (remember, artsd is turned off)
10. No sound. Neither aplay nor xmms via ALSA... nothing.
11. Here, I can fix it with $ sudo hibernate
12. Or, I can break it until the next boot with: # /etc/init.d/alsasound
restart (Honest, when I do that it stays broke)
Reboot with 2.6.9 kernel, and all is well.
I keep trying to nail where the problem is. I suspect it's KNotify or
something. I've seen hints on google where others have their KDE sound
broken with 2.6.11... but I don't see any bug reports or anything.
Again, any help or tips is appreciated!
