From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 Description of problem: Upon a single reboot, only kscd will work. xine, xmms and quake3 will not work. arts is selected to be started upon boot in the preferences, sound and multimedia, soundsystem section. Exiting kde and logging back in does nothing. 'killall artsd' does nothing. changing the protections for /dev/dsp also does nothing. 'lsof /dev/dsp' yields nothing. No obvious application is blocking access to the soundcard. Also, clearing out everything in /tmp and rebooting doesn't solve the problem. HOWEVER, after 3 reboots, and executing 'killall artsd', all of the above sound applications work again. This flakiness is reproduceable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.22-1.2115.nptlsmp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.reboot 2. 3. Actual Results: no sound xmms, xine, quake3 sound kscd Expected Results: sound in kscd, xmms, xine & quake3 Additional info:
as i know xmms and xine support arts for playing sound, you have to enable arts support in xmms/xine, it will work again. I don't have quake3 and don't know if it supports arts, if not you should use the wrapper (artsdsp).
