Part of the instructions strongly recommended using ALSA...so I followed the instructions and switched to ALSA. This is all well and good, save that my wife uses KDE. I'd just installed KDE 3.2 after reading the glowing reviews.
Now artsd hogs the CPU (90+%) and periodically commits seppuku after saying it's using too much of the CPU in a popup.
I went searching for people who'd had the same trouble--and found one, who'd even found a solution:
Click Big K>Settings>Control Center; then Sound & Multimedia>Sound System.
Select the "Hardware" tab, and under "Select the audio device" pick ALSA (it's spelled out).
The problem: that choice for "Select the audio device" isn't there! (It's there on the computer I have that is running, um, Brand G Linux. :))
So...is there a Fedora Core repository that has the KDE 3.2 that knows from ALSA?
