Two programs fighting for access to the device?
- No, I just use mpg123 to test the sound BEFORE start KDE
Does your KDE session try to start a sound server? (i'm not a KDE user, but
the big desktop environments try to do this so they can emit silly sounds
for each user action). The error message seems to come from the aRts daemon
....
- Correct, the error appears when KDE tries to start aRts daemon, but I
don't know how to correct it.
Are there any other sound programs running while this happens?
Nothing more is running at the same time. My services list is bellow when I
try to start X manually.
