Yes, the process is artsd. > > I'm guessing only KDE apps know how to send their audio output to > the arts daemon, so you might have to kill it to use others. Artsd *should* release the sound device after a certain period of inactivity. I think the default is something like 60-90 seconds (which IMO is just silly). IIRC there is an option to change it under "Sound Server" in the KDE Control Center. If that doesn't work, then kill artsd and try again. -- Josh > > - richard > > On Sun, Feb 16, 2003 at 08:52:57PM -0800, Eric Miller wrote: > > I posted earlier about my sound working except in a > > game...I was wrong. > > > > It only works in KDE (y'know..the little noises it > > makes minimizing and maximizing windows...) > > > > Any other app, a game, even flash sound in a > > browser...no dice. > > > > What should I do? > > > > __________________________________________________ > > Do you Yahoo!? > > Yahoo!
