Hi,

I don't get any system sounds out of my opensuse 11 kde 4.1
installation :(. Even tho Amarok plays music smoothly I don't get any
system sounds, e.g. kopete notifications. Also Ktts wouldn't say
anything and just tell me to configure it. But when I wanna open the
configuration dialog i get an error message: "A Fatal Error Occurred
The application KDE Control Module (kcmshell4) crashed and caused the
signal 11 (SIGSEGV).
Please help us improve the software you use by filing a report at
http://bugs.kde.org. Useful details include how to reproduce the error,
documents that were loaded, etc."

What's going wrong here, what am I missing? Sound example in Yast plays
fine too.

Thank you!


The Devices I see under "Sound - System Settings" in "System Settings -
Sound" are: HDA Intel(ALC883 Analog)
HDA Intel (ALC883 Digital) #1
HDA Intel ALC883 Digital (IEC958 S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output) default
hw:0,0
hw:0,1
HDA Intel (ALC883 Digital) (grayed out) HDA Intel (ALC883 Analog)
(grayed out)

I've tried every device on top and for some of them i get a message
saying that the device wouldn't work and kde is falling back to the next
in the list.
I have connected the amplifier on the connector on the back and Amarok
always plays, no matter what order the devices in this list are in - any
ideas?
Hints would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Not sure if you're having the same problem as I did with Pulse Audio and
system sounds. There's a webpage "perfect pulse sound or perfect sound
pulse audio" that lists a bunch of workarounds for pulse audio.

In my case I added a command to .bashrc for Gnome ESD (Esound). But I
also found I had to delete an outdated ~/.esd_* file from my home
folder. Now my system sounds seem to be working though I haven't heard
the logout sound or email_sounds yet.
