10 Is aRTs set to use ALSA? kcontrol (KDE Control Center)=> Sound and
11 Multimedia=> Sound System=> Hardware Tab => Select the Audio device
12 drop-down (choose 'Alsa').
13
14 Secondly, you do have system sounds turned on, yes? Assuming that the
15 backend is properly configured, in order to have sounds in KDE you need
16 the following settings in kcontrol:
17
18 Sound and Multimedia=> Sound System=> Sound System=> General Tab=>
19 "Enable the Sound System" must be checked (system sounds are played
20 through aRTS, and that is the sound system this checkbox enables);
21
22 Sound and Multimedia=> System Notifications. When the "Event Source"
23 drop-down in this dialog is set to KDE System Notifications, you need to
24 make sure that:
25
26 1) valid sounds are associated with the various events (if the test of
27 the sound doesn't play, well, it's not going to play in KDE either), and
28
29 2) The Quick Control, when the "Apply to all events" checkbox is
30 checked, is not set to "Turn Off all Sounds".

32 Hope this helps,
