I have disabled artsd now in KDE by starting kcontrol -> Sound &
Multimedia -> Sound System -> Unchecked "Enable the sound system". After
a
reboot I verified that artsd was not running anymore.
Still, I do not hear any sound though, when running aplay or play.
# /etc/init.d/alsasound stop
Shutting down sound driver: /etc/init.d/alsasound: line 163: 2896 Segmentation fault

When I try again it hangs (also aconnect --removeall hangs then).
Perhaps this is because the alsa sources 1.0.12.rc1 I installed myself
have overwritten the .rpm files that I had installed before. There might
be version conflicts, I have no clue how to check that.
# rpm -qf /etc/init.d/alsasound

The mixer properties that I have are (none of them are muted in
alsamixer): # amixer

Thanks for helping me,

Here I would have suggested, if your using KDE, to make sure that the
aRts
sound server is not running, as the card is not capable of hardware mixing,
and aRts would interfere with other apps, as it grabs the sound card.
But I would have expected some sort of error from Aplay in that case.
It's probably worth checking alsamixer on the CLI. I don't know what
sliders and switches are there for that card. The "external amplifier"
switch sometimes causes problems, and is worth unmuting that. Hit M to
toggle the switches, and make sure that sliders like "master" , "PCM"
,
and "front" are up.
