OK. That was already done as well. However, I killed the process and went there to hit the test sound button. I went back and artsd was running again plus a new one. > [EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ps aux | grep arts > dale 15246 2.2 1.3 28776 13816 ?

I have no idea why. Also, since removing arts, I can not get some thing to emerge because the arts flag has been removed. I posted the error earlier. Maybe it was noatun. I know KDE was complaining that it could not find it when I had no sound at all though. Which is why I told it to use mplayer. Now it is just slow to play a sound and some sounds don't work at all. I don't know what is going on but it was working better before. I just don't want to put the arts flag back and reemerge all that stuff again. Ideas?? I'm fresh out. Dale :-) :-) :-)
