But if you already have problems with getting Arts to start because "something else has already grabbed the port and doesn't want to share", I'm surprised you get sound from anything. I would have thought it was easier to get everything using Arts. -- derek

Much of the time it can't start because something else has already grabbed the port and doesn't want to share. Is it really worth it? The first thing I do after a KDE installation is disable arts forever. I never look back. It's only needed for sound in a smattering of KDE applications (and KDE itself, if you're into whoops and boops and boinks every time you swish your mouse around.) Nothing else uses it, and it just gets in the way all the time. It's a lot more trouble than it's worth to me. -- Michael McIntyre Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/

I believe the default is 60, which can cause some problems. N.P.

Arts is set 'on' in control center with 'full duplex'. I found it magically came back when I logged into KDE as root, and was then always available in user sessions. Since I almost never do that, it took 6 months to find this solution... -- derek
