Thank you for the response Phillip. I have visited the site that you said, and tried everything. No dice. The peculiar thing is that when I ran artsd -l 0, and used artsplay to play a wav file, I still got nothing (or a high-pitched, barely audible squeal) -- and yet there was absolutely no error output on the terminal I was running artsd -l 0 on). UnixManager: got notifyIO socketconnection created, fd = 11 search playobject, extension = wav creating Arts::audiofilePlayObject to play file /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Window_Sticky.wav loading wav: /usr/local/share/sounds/KDE_Window_Sticky.wav frame size: 2 channels: 1 bits: 16 job finished So arts thinks that it did its job just fine (even though it clearly didn't). I can bypass arts and play the same file with waveplay without any problems. Sigh...
