[gentoo-user] KDE sound problems
I am running kde 3.3.2 on an amd64. All packages are the latest stable amd64 ones except for the alsa ones which are ~amd64. I'm having a few sound problems: 1. When I enable the sound system, there are no system notification sounds. I am able to get them working if I do Control center - Sound and Multimedia - System notifications - Player settings - Use external player - artsplay. Why don't notifications work by default? Is this the correct way of enabling system notifications? 2. Frequently when I log in there is no sound. After a few minutes a dialog comes up saying Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting. I've had a few suggestions from a previous posting, but I haven't been able to get rid of this one. Unfortunately I haven't yet had a version of kde which has been free of obvious bugs. How does gnome compare?? I haven't spent much time with it. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] KDE sound problems
I have always tried new releases of kde when they are out. and somehow I always land up going back to gnome.

USE=oss emerge alsa-driver Hello. I have a problem with sounds and KDE. I have ALSA compiled in as per instructions, and sound works perfectly from XMMS and ogg123... However, on KDE startup, I get the following message: Sound server informational message: Error while initializing the sound driver device /dev/dsp can't be opened (no such file or directory) The sound server will continue to use the null output device However, as reported earlier, if I start XMMS music works fine.
