Hi -

For some reason, the sound quit working. But after running alsoconf, it's
somewhat working again. Events in KDE work, and some apps, but other apps
don't, including some simple ones:

Thanks,

You don't mention what kind of sound server you are using on your system.
In KDE you should probably be using ALSA (with arts emulation).
The problems you are mentioning could be caused by "the real" arts
conflicting with ALSA.
Try the following in the control center:

1) Chose ALSA as the sound server instead of "auto" (if it is on auto).
2) Set the time-out on idling to a much lower value than the default, say 3
seconds. This will prevent the soundserver from being allocated for a
longer period of time to only ONE app.

Best regards
Jan
