event sounds not working
Hello....I have replaced my KNOPPIX 3.3 installations with 3.4. I like it alot and works well. However, I noticed that the EVENT SOUNDS do not work. The sound itself is OK, for instance I can play cd's and all.
In CONTROL CENTER under SOUND there is a button to test sound, and when I click it, it does work and the KNOPPIX START UP SOUND plays.
Its just the NOTIFICATIONS do not work. Not that its a big deal, but I kind of liked them. KNOPPIX ver. 3.3 the sound events worked fine. Does anyone have the same problem?

Bob58,
Funny thing, even with v3.3 I couldn't get my "notifications" to work - but then again, I was using ALSA. With the new v3.4, kernel 2.6.6, I, again, have ALSA - my notifications remain to be heard - the last time I heard any KDE sounds was when I booted off the CD to install Knoppix to the hard drive ( same was true with v3.3 )
For me, my guess is that I need something setup in my OSS emulation settings, or something, since ALSA is running on my sound now - not sure if you said, or not, are you using ALSA as well? If so, we are BOTH in the same boat, maybe... If you are just running off the "standard" and "default", OSS sound, and Arts - ( aaaaaa, that was when all my sounds were working, notifications, window iconization sounds, etc... those were the days... but then again, without ALSA, I couldn't get some of my "die-hard" sound editting software to work on OSS, and they would only work with ALSA - hence my running ALSA )
Not sure if I helped, or not, here,

Hey Markus,
I tried the "artsplay", it didn't work, but I tried the "aplay", which never worked for me, but did this time - but, I can only change the player in root -=- when I try to change the player in my "user" KControl - it is shaded out - and it is stuck with "alsaplayer [options[" - which hasn't worked....
Where is the user settings for the "player" stored, so that I can "manually" change the player in the file, or how can I get the "player" unshaded so that I can change it within KControl? ( I already tried to "enable" the sound system, thinking that the "sound system" being disabled was causing the shading, and thus, unable to change the player, but that didn't work )
Thanks in advance dude, this is getting somewhere, and, I might add, more than I was at just a few moments ago, and all, thanks to you for the suggestion,
Ms. Cuddles

Go into the .kde directory under your user directory, then /share/config and find the file .knotifyrc. You can either change the external player or turn external player off.

Sorry to say,
But in that specified directory/folder, I not only don't have any [dot] files, but, I also don't have the file you specified, any clues???
Thanks for the quick response, none-the-less,
Ms. Cuddles

Yeah...sorry Cuddles, it's not .knotifyrc...it's just knotifyrc.
I just got a bit wild with my dots there. :P
-
It's dotless if that's a word.
markus@mrk-fujibox:~$ cat .kde/share/config/knotifyrc
[Misc]
External player=aplay
LastConfiguredApp=Konsole
Use external player=true
Volume=100
[StartProgress]
Arts Init=false
KNotify Init=true
Use Arts=false
EDIT: My post seems to have been pointless which at least is a word.

You can have it both ways !
That worked, I've now got system notifications and ALSA working at the same time, I never thought it to be possible
-=- There IS a GOD !
Thanks, millions, for the assistance ![Smile](images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

I got my system notifications to work by setting
Arts Init=true
Knotify Init=true
Use Arts=true
but then I guess I'm using aRTs. I don't understand why these are defaulted to false and I don't understand why you can't change them from Kcontrol. Used to be able to select 'start arts automatically' from Kcontrol, now it's just 'enable sound system' but it doesn't set these necessary settings true. Go figure.
I really don't understand this aRts/ALSA thing; exactly what each one does & why or how they are different. There seems to be a general opinion that alsa is 'better' but I don't know why. I wish somebody would explain this in detail.
