kde sound system not working
Hi,
I am using Mandrake 10.1. And, i have installed alsa and xmms and mplayer are working fine. But, the system sounds are not working. I even tried to set the hardware soundsystem in "configure desktop" tool to point to ALSA. But, even then, i cant hear any sound. Sometimes, it says artswrapper failed to initialize... And, when i try to run artswrapper, this is what i get ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:549:(snd_pcm_hw_start) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_START failed: Broken pipe can't register Arts::MidiManager There are already artsd objects registered, looking if they are active... Error: Can't add object reference (probably artsd is already running). If you are sure it is not already running, remove the relevant files: /tmp/mcop-shyam/Arts_SoundServerV2 /tmp/mcop-shyam/Arts_SoundServer /tmp/mcop-shyam/Arts_SimpleSoundServer /tmp/mcop-shyam/Arts_PlayObjectFactory /tmp/mcop-shyam/Arts_AudioManager ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Can some one please help me rectify this.... best regards, Shyam |
For the system sounds to play, arts server needs to be running. To enable arts server, go to control centre->sound. There, enable the Start Sound Server on startup. Now, in the System notifications, select play all sounds.
Now, if xmms or mplayer fail to play, change their output plugins to arts. |
