Description Martin Tsachev 2005-01-18 11:07:27 UTC
I can do test sound and I hear the KDE start up sound but when trying to set sound notification for any kde app it doesn't play anything. Nothing is logged on vt1 and I tried to start kteatime from a console and no errors are dumped when trying to play sounds.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Michiel de Bruijne 2005-01-18 17:07:40 UTC
Have tried anything to solve this by yourself?, searched/posted something on the forums or gentoo user-list?, what version of kde?, what's the content of ~/.kde/share/config/knotifyrc?, etc.

Please try a little harder to solve your problem with the Gentoo community before adding extra load to the devs. If you already have done this and you are convinced there is a bug in the kde-package, then post your tests and results here and I will try to help you.

It's not that I didn't google for that, it's just that I just got people with not enough permissions or muted cards. The key was knotifyrc which gets trashed for some reason after upgrading KDE. I'm using 3.3.2 btw. I haven't had issues like this before with Mandrake/NetBSD/Slackware/Debian/FreeBSD upgrading KDE and sound so I thought it might be something Gentoo specific.
Comment 3 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-12 09:55:39 UTC
Is it still an issue?
Comment 4 Martin Tsachev 2005-05-12 10:08:44 UTC
No, I edited knotifyrc and it works fine now.
Comment 5 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-12 12:04:42 UTC
After a quick search, it seems this wasn't a gentoo issue anyway:
it could be either http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69830 or http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94918
