thesonic1 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hi Everyone, I hope this is the right forum choice for this issue but I have a small problem. As part of a diagnoses of why I had no sound running cvscedega/winex I was told to disable ARTS in the KDE Control Panel. The problem was later resolved with an unrelated setting chance in the winex control file. So I decided to re-enable ARTS (or as it is called in the control center the sound system). However, since then I have no sound in X other than applications like winex or websites with embedded sound. I so not here things like the startup or shutdown themes or the system bell in the console when I type something wrong. If I go into the control panel and click test sound - I hear the startup music. if I hit midi - I hear nothing. I looked at the services in the Mandrake Linux control center and ALSA and SOUND both are check to start at boot and both advise a running status. Under my auto-suspend setting it is set to 1 sec. I am using the on-board Nvidia Nforce 2 sound card. I really do not want to have to reload 10.1 to fix this issue, but I have not been able to see any other solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iphitus Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Hey, ARts is a pretty evil program, it gives you all those funky shutdown, login sounds, but it also takes control of the sound card. Meaning that while arts is running it steals the sound card. so programs like wine, and websites and most programs cant use the sound. To fix this, disable arts again. iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
