An interesting one this........ I finally found the route to a stable(ish) 10 community, buy installing 9.2 and upgrading, as opposed to a clean install of 10.
I've always had some driver issues with the soundcard (C Media CM8738), but nothing that was not easily sorted. Until today. Boot up, and you get the nice little KDE tune as KDE starts. Play a few MP3's with XMMS, and you get to hear music. Until after a while. Then, try to use the soundcard, and the error message pops up, saying that the soundcard is either not configured properly, or another program is blocking the soundcard. A quick look at ksysguard process table, revealed 7 instances of knotify running. Killed them all, and the sound is back again. Any ideas how to to either disable knotify, or configure it so that when it has notified, it exits? as for some reason it cant be killing itself, and thus is hogging the soundcard.
