I then clicked the button to text sound. Then I heard sound perfect. I then opened Noatun and tried to play an mp3 but heard nothing. I dont know about artsd, but is this the KDE sound system? I tried the sound system disabled, restart Noatun but still nothing. artsd at konsole says: 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-root/Arts_SoundServerV2 /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_SoundServer /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_SimpleSoundServer /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_PlayObjectFactory /tmp/mcop-root/Arts_AudioManager So, sound works if I test in control centre. But no sound if i try play an mp3... Thanks Eoghan
