Just wondering,
I know many of you guys don't like the sounds you can turn on in KDE for window actions, system notifications, etc., so you turn them off. I tend to go the other way though and usually have several that are on. That is until recently, as they seem to have quit working. All other sounds work. I can play individual sounds, play oggs, mp3s, etc. everything else, it's just the KDE sounds that won't play! Anyone else noticed this little bug?
It seems to have started since the last few KDE updates. I have tried going back to the earlier arts files, which were the latest in the kde mirrors, but that doesn't seem to correct things, so unsure what it might be at this point. It could be something with the new KDE 3.3.2 files, but haven't yet reverted back to the earlier ones to test that theory.
Anyone else noticed this? Attempted to correct it and if you were successful, what steps did you take? As I mentioned, this is ONLY the KDE sound notifications, nothing else, all other sound functions work as usual.
TIA, Lee ============
For all those that are having trouble with this and all those who responded, the problem seems to be solved. After recompiling the "arts" package from SuSE's src.rpm, my problem disappeared with the kde sounds not working. My guess is that whatever SuSE machine arts was compiled on, had something slightly different than we all have installed. Arts compiled with their files making some small incompatibility with our systems. Not the first time something of this nature has occurred, but easily fixable. Should anyone want the new rpms, send me a private mail and I'll be happy to upload to you or you can compile your own or you can wait for the next builds from SuSE, if that would please you more.
