Intel 810 AC'97 soundcard only partially working

[JNeuhoff]

Using Knoppix 3.7 with Kernel 2.6.9, installed on harddrive, everything works fine except for the soundcard chip:

When being logged in as root, it works as exspected under KDE.

However, when logging under a normal user account, it partly fails. The KDE Control Center, under Sound & Multimedia - Sound System - General - Test Sound works as expected. However, the Sound & Multimedia - System Notifications - Actions Play a Sound for e.g. 'KDE_Glass_Break.ogg' produces no sound. Why does Knoppix 3.7 prevent plating ogg files for normal users? Is there any configuration where this can be corrected?

Thank you for your help.

I edited the file /home/(username)/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc as follows:

[Misc]
 LastConfiguredApp=The KDE Window Manager
 
 [StartProgress]
 Arts Init=true
 KNotify Init=true
 Use Arts=true

It is now working.
