Re: [newbie] kde startup sound
Looks like all permissions are fine to me. I still don't see anything in kmix (just a grey window). Only one person has replied so I am assuming very few people have had this problem. (why me?)

First, find the Kmix images in /user/share/apps/Kmix/pics (The easiest way is to go through the Home icon in root.) Right click each icon, go to properties and change the permissions so everyone can use the damn things. Second, check the permissions on Kmix itself just to be sure /usr/bin/kmix Hope everything works. I had an awful time with sound. Never did resolve everything.

Re: [newbie] kde startup sound
Jason, I changed the permissions in pics to include execute as well. Not saying I should have but it seemed to do the trick. I think I put an x in every box I could find as a matter of fact. (Not running 8.1 now. Can't check.) Would like to hear what they say on the KDE newsgroup.

[newbie] kde startup sound
I can't get the kde startup sound to play when starting KDE with LM8.1. In the kde control panel I have the startup sound checked off and I can even play the test, no problem. When I log out I hear the logout sound. ? Another strange thing is that in Kmix I don't see anything, just a grey window. No volume settings, nothing. Any thoughts?

Re: [newbie] KDE Startup Sound
XMMS seems to be working again after another boot. It may be because I used sndconfig earlier, but I did do a chkconfig --del alsa afterwards. I still have no sound directory/file in /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk. Wow, how is it that the SB Live has worked so perfectly in previous Mdk versions but has caused so much trouble in 8.1?
