sound in Gnome but not in KDE??

[Ksmith- Tx]

when i log to gnome under same user all my sound works- like shrink window etc. but in KDE no sound effects but mp3 player does work.. tryed everything i can find and once it did work... but how do i configure the theme and make sure sounds are ON.. thanks

In KDE does it play the startup music? If it does and the mp3 doesn't work then you might want to try killing artsd.

nope just backwards... no startup music but does play mp3's

Try starting artsd using this

/opt/kde2/bin/artsd -F 10 -S 4096 -s 60 -m artsmessag

ok- artsd is running in control center and if go t individual sounds they play (most of the time) (sound blaster live) thanks after looking into it more it is just the theme in kde is not as good as Gnome.. is there one or where in KDE do you set the sounds like at startup and shrink window....

thanks :rolleyes:

Try the KDE Control Center under Sound/System Notifications/KDE System Notifications.

there are like no sounds setup... do i have to set them one at a time or is there another way... they will play when set and selected......THANKS
