Description far jump 2008-04-09 23:33:36 UTC

Linux xps 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 #4 SMP Wed Apr 9 17:45:54 EDT 2008 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
emerge kde-meta

KDE all works as expected, but there is no "sound system" option under "Sound & Multimedia" in the control center.  Hence, there is no sound.  The sound card:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 02)
is configured in the kernel and alsaconf and alsamixer see it and set it up correctly
emerge splay and can play sound from command line
mplayer will play video with sound.
No sound from any KDE app.
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. turn on computer
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
no sound

Expected Results:  
sound

You have two options, one is to install your KDE applications with USE="arts" to get the kde's sound system (you don't want this), and the other one is to simply use an external player which is also our recommendation since arts is pretty much broken and unmaintained.
