Sounds like you are on the right track...=20 1. has the system had sound working before? (Perhaps under a different=20 kernel?) Then check to see if you have the right kernel modules loaded. Thi= s=20 seems unlikely because your programs aparently think its all go. 2. Run Kmix and make sure your sound levels are NOT zero. 3. The kde sound server is enabled in Control Center under Sound &=20 Multimedia/System Sound. Make sure the server is started. If you are able t= o=20 get sound from the test button, but system sounds still wont work look for= =20 knotifyrc under you homedir in ~/.kde/share/config, and change the 'UseArts= '=20 =46eild to true, then back to the sound server to restart it. This is a kno= wn=20 bug in kde bugzilla. which I suffered from :p. (NB sometimes if you do=20 strange things it will reset itself to False. you will have to manually fix= =20 it again.) No luck? Try logging out and back in after changes? Hows that? =2D-=20 I understand why you're confused. You're thinking too much. -- Carole Wallach. --nextPart33419634.4UBAuGRJbp Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBBsoezKZRWL7vB/bERAuiKAKCuIG8XfikxWuI6KIwYQb1XdHGRNgCggqs4 +C7BwEqtIMA8Jzde20SZPgw= =VOCP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart33419634.4UBAuGRJbp--
