Did you try the "ESD can't play sound" fix from <a href="http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Sound#ESD_can_t_play_sound">http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/Sound#ESD_can_t_play_sound</a> Sincerely, Dave Hopkins <div>On 3/20/07, Michael <<a href="mailto:mparic@compbizsolutions.com">mparic@compbizsolutions.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> No, this is sound in general - have not tried to tackle Flash until the system sound is stable. I can sometimes restart the sound (even though the artsd daemon is already running) by going to (in KDE) Control Center > Sound & Multimedia > Sound System then disabling/ applying/re-enabling the Sound System then power-cycling the thin client. Then I log in, get the KDE intro music and all other system sounds. I even get audio from the Windows server when I log into it via rdesktop. Log into a different thin client, works fine. Log out, log back in, nothing. No system sounds, no Windows sound, and nothing changed to the Sound Server. I'm using KDE because the kiosk tool allows for good profile and security management (Sabayon on Gnome continuously crashed on me), however if Gnome has better sound support I will change them over to that and find another profile management tool.
