Hi all,
A while ago, being annoyed by arts interfering with skype, I decided to
recompile my KDE without arts (I'm on Gentoo). Since then, my KDE does not
emit any kind of sound for system notifications.
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..
Thanks.

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.

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...
Have fun,
Arnold

After a month or so log in as root and do a "rm -rf /". Or ask your

Hmmm. Audacity
doesn't detect any input from the mic. Everything I blow
into it comes out from the speakers directly.
Show us the output of the command
amixer
