configuration => kde => sounds => soundserver. I have then and now this scratching in the mail notification of kmail, but xmms f.i. isn't affected anymore (plays fine at the same time) . Yes kde-sounds should be played trough artsd if it is running. If, not aplay is used (All AFAIK!). Saying that you have OSS and I have alsa it seems more and more to be an artsd issue. I don't know if your card can full duplex (letting access more then one app to the /dev/dsp) from my knowledge it depends on OSS if the soundcard supports it. > I'll look at that, but any more info on how these modules fit > together would be much appreciated. Thanks, Steffen Yep would like to know as well what is causing it , if there is a chance it isn't the soundcard driver. Maybe with 9.2 all this isn't an issue anymore and I hope I can as fast as possible switch to 9.2. Greets Steffen
