Was also seeing this message frequently: Error - artsmes Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting OK My hardware: Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 (rev 07) Athlon 1GHz, VIA KT133 Started with first KDE update after install of FC2 test1, but has not occurred since update to kdebase-3.2.0-0.4 kdemultimedia-3.2.0-1.3 today.
artsd process starts with using 99.9% CPU and either aborts and disables itself early, or CPU usage decreases very slowly only. A work-around is to start KDE Control Centre > "Sound & Multimedia" > "Sound System" > Hardware > and there in the "Select the audio device" checkbox choose the "Advanced Linux Sound Architecture" (ALSA) instead of the default "Autodetect". I've seen sporadic reports about this also for Fedora Core 1 and ALSA add-ons from fedora.us. aRtsd doesn't like ALSA's OSS compatibility layer.
Created attachment 97700 [details] tested patch Applied to arts-1.2.0-0.3.src.rpm and works great for me so far. Also fixes the massive CPU usage problem of artsd. The corresponding KDE bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73461 The corresponding bug-fix from Bero: http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=4377&action=view [...] (Side-note: I've had to add a few missing build requirements, at least glib2-devel, libvorbis-devel, audiofile-devel.).
yes, it seems the patch from Bero has fixed this problem. It works for me too. arts-1.2.0-1.4 has this thix. thanks
