There is another checkbox "Use custom bell". If this is checked but no sound is selected then you get no sound no matter what you select in the sounds&multimedia section!
My suggestion is that if selecting one of these doesn't fix your problem right off the bat then try checking each box, apply the change, then uncheck and apply. Then go back and try setting up your system sounds again.
Thanks for replying, again. Glad you got yours working. I cannot. Tried every possible combination as you described. No go. Tell me, when you "click" on the little arrow button, does that play the selected sound?
Yes it does, (but my problem was mainly w/ thesystem bell not giving audible output.) ----snip----
Do me a favor please. In the interest of trying to solve this problem I went to the more options section and tried to utilize the"message" option and the "execute a progam" option. Neither of these will work either so it is probably not just a sound problem. Will you try that and let me know? Something wrong with the Control Center I think.
Yes both of these worked for me as well. (This certainly will be handy if I want to run gimp every time I open a new window 8-) So it seems that your whole notification system is failing you (except maybe system bell). Have you tried setting up another user for testing? It seems like this might be a way to find out if there is a problem with your whole system versus just something specific to your user login (in /home/yourName/.kde) I remember some mails about files in /var that people needed to delete after upgrading to kde3.1, don't know if that could be related As I was getting ready to send this it occured to me that when I run ksystemguard (kmenu ->System->KDE SystemGuard) and view the process table I almost always see a command named knotify. (found in the rpm's kdebase3, kdelibs3, kde2-compat) I tried "man knotify" and suseHelpcenter but found no information. it seems a suspicious coincidence... The files ~/.kde/share/config/knotify.eventsrc ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc might hold some clues as well. HTH -- dh Don't shop at GoogleGear.com!
