It would only play one sound at a time and some things hogged up the sound system. Mine makes a sound when I change desktops for instance and it would hold onto the sound system for a minute or so before other sounds could use it. It has been a while so I couldn't remember the details, just that it wasn't working right. It works now tho. I played a video and changed desktops and could hear them both. Yeppie !! No arts system.
