32 Well, how were we to know that? We don't know you, we don't know if you
33 know how to set up KDE properly, and you didn't tell us that you had
34 already done so. A user new to KDE would not necessarily find that all
35 so 'simple' as you do.
36
37 So. Your settings are correct, and even though you don't have
38
39 [StartProgress]
40 Arts Init=true
41 KNotify Init=true
42 Use Arts=true
43
44
45 ... it's "not the root of the problem".
46
47 Why not? Because fixing it didn't make a difference? And if that isn't
48 the root of the problem, it sounds like you have an idea what perhaps is?
49
50 Shall we guess randomly? OK... have you checked KMix to make certain
51 that it's unmuted and not taking over the mixer settings from ALSA?
52
53 Do you have any other unusual conditions/setup relating to sound on your
54 system? Multiple sound cards, recording setup?
55
56 Do you use any unusual compiler flags that might have caused arts to
57 *seem* to compile all right, but in fact break?
58
59 How have you installed KDE? Split ebuilds? Monolithic build? If split
60 ebuilds, what parts of KDE did you compile, and did you compile them all
61 with arts support?
62
63 Any further information would be helpful.
