artsd is the kde sound server. You can tutn it off from the control center and see if it will solve your problems. Avi --On Wednesday, March 07, 2001 19:49:02 -0600 "Robert C. Paulsen Jr." <paulsen@texas.net> wrote:
Hi,
Ever since I upgraded my SuSE 7.0 KDE to 2.x, I have been having problems with sound:
1. Can't play midi. The midi player acts as if it's playing music, but there is no sound. This started with KDE 2.0.1 (the first KDE 2.x version I installed).
2. VMWare gives me an error message saying /dev/dsp is busy so it therefore does not play any sound in the guest operating system.
3. Starting with KDE 2.1, sound is garbled. It seems to be overly affected by system load (windows opening, etc).
4. Perhaps related to # 3, there is a process sucking up CPU time: artsd. This didn't happen with KDE 2.0.1.
