you don't need `&' when starting aucat anymore in -current. see aucat(1) for a better way to start aucat in server mode. > Then startkde. should I disable the sound system in KDE? no. I'm pretty sure noatun and kaboodle require artsd. > I start kde with $ startkde > > i386 arch I've just tested this quite a bit and can't reproduce any of the problems you are seeing, either with or without aucat running. if you updated to 4.5 instead of a fresh install, make sure everything (base and packages) is up-to-date. also make sure you don't have a stale artsd configuration that's trying to use OSS: K Menu->Settings-> Sound & Multimedia->Sound System->Hardware->Select the audio device-> libsndio. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
