The only problem I have found since upgrading to KDE3.4 is that I have lost the system sounds, but I can play CDs. I am wondering if this is tied up with the ALSA sound error message.
No, it is an arts problem. Try rebuilding the arts src.rpm and install the resulting rpms, i.e. rpmbuild --rebuild --target=<your target arch> arts*src.rpm (or replace * with full name) as root, the rpms will be in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/<your arch>
Thanks for the advice, Joe, and telling me that it was an arts problem. Things have been rather hectic here today. That is why there has been a delay in replying to your posting. First I tried replacing arts the easy way before rebuilding it from source! Using YaST, I reinstalled arts from the DVD. System sounds worked again, but I got a KDElibs dependancy error message - needed a later version of arts. So, I replaced arts1.3.0-11 from the DVD, with the latest 1.4.0-8. No System sounds again! Then I installed 1.3.0-11 again from source, using your method. Sounds came back, but the error message was there. I will investigate the problem further when I have time. Thanks again for your help.
