After hosing my kernel I did a complete re-install of 9.2 on my laptop. I then ran an apt dist-upgrade of the system, then logged in to tweak everything. For some reason, sounds don't work. They did before I re-installed. And they don't work in root either. If I test the sound system via the Control Center, I hear the sounds. But in no apps do they work, and the KDE system messages don't work. If I go into Konsole and play something from the command line using play some_sound.wav this also works. I changed the sound settings to use an external player (the play command), but still no sounds. I deleted the knotify files, logged out and back in, but still nothing. The kdm log shows nothing wrong. And everything worked before I had to re-install Any ideas? Suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Hi, I think you've found this thread http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2004-Dec/0068.html since you mention most of the things discussed in it. However, did you try editing the KDE files (http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2004-Dec/0070.html)? Or perhaps recompile the Arts rpm using the src.rpm (http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-kde/2004-Dec/0082.html)? Hope these helps, Alvin

Thanks. Recompiling the source RPM fixed it, although I still had to define an external player for it to work. Weird. Again, thanks.
