Sound notifications in KMail

[andysdp]

Thanks for your reply Skid

Have checked out the file you suggest

Contents are:

[Misc]
External player=amarok
LastConfiguredApp=KMail
Use external player=true
Volume=100

[StartProgress]
Arts Init=true
KNotify Init=true
Use Arts=true

I don't think the problem is that simple - I think my upgrade to KDE3.3 hasn't worked properly. I think I'll just wait for a stable 3.4 and see if that cures it. My 3.3 is release 3.3.2 level "a" which maynot be a stable version.

Thanks for you help anyway

First, enable sound and use XMMS to verify sound is working (search www for alsa)...

using Knoppix 4.0, after enabling sound with alsa, this worked:

KDE Start >>
Control Center >>
Sound & Multimedia >>
System Notification >>
Player Setting (button) >>
Use External Player >>
Player: xmms (just type "xmms" in the field rather than browsing for it)
