OK, Kaffeine does not play mp3. Do you have the packman packaged version of kaffeine or the Novell/SuSE-GmbH packaged version of Kaffeine? And what sound engine do you have selected in Kaffeine? Note with Kaffeine and the appropriate plugin, one can select either gstreamer or xine sound engine. Which do you have selected? Which ever one you have selected (gstreamer or xine), do you have the packman packaged gstreamer and packman packaged libxine1 installed? If not, you need it.
mp3 is a proprietary format, and openSUSE as packaged does not support propietary formats. Other applications (typically from packman) need to be added to replace the Novell/SuSE-GmbH packaged versions to provide the capability to play proprietary formats.
I have no idea what you are refering to there.
Thats good to read!
I can’t help there. I do not use Kontact (which I believe is KDE’s PIM).

Check in Configure Desktop → Notifications → Event Source and see if one
of the options there controls the Kontact sounds.

Sorry was talking about KDE 4. I just wiped out my 3.5 installation several
days ago. If I remember right it is under system settings–> Sound &
Multimedia–> Notification.
I looked though the files in the repositories and found via a search of KDE3 files that KMix had not been downloaded. When it was downloaded and run the volume on the KDE sounds was at zero.
Restart it one more time and see if that problem is still there. You could also check /var/log/messages for any errors and check dmesg with “dmesg > dmesg.txt” and open dmesg.txt with a text editor.
I doubt this is a sound problem, so you will NOT get the support you want on this thread. So I recommend you start a new thread with this new problem.
