No sound in Kopete notifications

Sound notification was working fine in Kopete. I disabled sound on incoming messages and now i cannot get the sound to come back on for notifications. I have tried selecing .ogg and .wav to see if that made a difference and it does not. when i click on the button to "play sound" nothing happens.

thanks guys!

make sure arts is running and you arent using a program which blocks output, such as xmms or and app without an arts sink.

I've recently encountered the same issue.

When I 'Test Sound' in the control center's Sound/Multimedia -> Sound System, the sound works just fine and you can see the output in the Arts Control Tool when the sound plays. It's just the Notifications that have stopped working.

Under the System Notifications -> Actions you can test the notification sound with the play button but nothing happens. Really odd.

Better late than never...

Greetings from the future!

I'm going to assume your problem worked itself out a few years ago, however if anybody else experiences this problem, I have just had it. Here's what worked for me (on KDE 3.5.9):

* Open up the Control Center
* Go to Sound & Multimedia->System Notifications
* Click the button near the bottom right that says "Player Settings"
* Make sure that "Use the KDE sound system" is checked.
* Click okay and test a sound. If this doesn't work, make sure that the KDE sound system itself is actually working by testing it under Sound & Multimedia->Sound System.
