Hello everybody
Some applications in my system cannot play sound when I require it.
let me try to explain :
If, in the KDE configuration center --> sound system configuration I click on the test button, I can hear the test sound, therefore I think that it is not an hardware problem.
If I try to associate sound to certain window manager events (for a example when a new window appear), I can't hear anything if I cliclk on the "play" button near the name of the sound and naturally I never hear sound when a new window appear. But, what surprise me, some application like kalarm or amsn for example can play sound.
Similar problem when I try to play music cd. With kscd I don't hear anything, but with Gnome CD player (on KDE) or a player named "Goobox 0.7.1" no problem. But kscd find my disck since it display the right name of the artist and the tracks of the disc, and it increase the "time counter" if I click on plan
Did you have an idea what I've done wrong during the installation ?
My system runs version 9.3 and my sound card is a SB Audigy.

Thank you in advance for your help
claude have you found a solution to this? I am experiencing the same symtoms in SuSE 9.1 Pro with KDE 3.4.1. Have not suceeded in upgrading to 3.4.2 because of numerous dependences. My audio card is a SBLive! 5.1 Digital Model SB0220. -- Russbucket
