KDE(3) without aRts means KDE without sound. So that is very clear
behavior. Either you want the KDE-systemsounds or not, either you want (or
tolerate) aRts or not.
Thought so. But this issue is nearly irrelevant :)
The bigger
issue is that my mic input simply does not `reach' any
software. Anything said into the mic comes out from the speakers
directly. The volume controls in kmix for the mic work correctly,
however. How do I fix this? Oh, I haven't tried to use the mic anywhere
outside KDE..
Maybe try another mixer-app too. alsamixer (and the graphical alsamixergui)
are direct representants of the mixing controls of the soundcard. But I
really doubt that is has anything to do with aRts being removed. Unless you
try to record with an app that only uses aRts and not alsa directly...
Hmmm. Audacity doesn't detect any input from the mic. Everything I blow into
it comes out from the speakers directly.
