Hi,
My system sounds aren’t working. If I go into System Settings - Notifications and try playing a sound by clicking on one of the play icons next to a application title I get a message to say that the “Audio device Creative Sound blaster MP3+ (USB Audio) does not work. Falling back to default”.
The thing is I can play MP3’s in Amarok and hear video sound ok through my Creative Sound blaster MP3+.
System Settings - Sound - Backend is set to GStreamer.
Anyone any ideas?
Anyone please?
KDE or Gnome?
If KDE, go to Personal Settings, Sound & Multimedia, Sound System. Under General, make sure the sound system is enabled.
HTH

Sorry buckesfeld - I cannot find the GUI you refer to.
I’ve got System Settings - Notifications configured and my sound card works as I can play MP3’s and listen to videos.
How do I launch the Personnel setting gui? I can’t see it from the start menu, or sub menus. By the way I’m using KDE 4.1.

Dang, I don’t have a KDE4 system (and I don’t want to, actually)

I had a similar problem whith KDE 4.1, and I’ve solved it installing the package phonon-backend-xine. 
I still have some problem with the starting sound that don’t play completely when the system starts, but the other system notifications are ok.
Thanks Fecam.
Tried downloading phonon-backend-xine via Yast - Software. It found it, but when I ticked it and clicked ACCEPT I got a “not found on medium” error. So it looks like there is a problem with the repo ?

Which one? KDE4 Factory? People work with the files there, so temporary inconvenience is expected
Just try again.
