[wellylug] system sounds in kde

[firstname lastname]

i am using mandrake 10.0 in my first experience of linux on an old compaq p2 
with an integrated sound card. i have managed to get the system to play cds, 
and the  system sounds option in the  configure/kde/look and feel menu plays 
a file when i press the 'test sound' button. i have selected 'enable system 
sounds' and turned on all sounds for all applications. however when i try to 
preview the sound file for the events ilsted, no sound is played and i have 
no sound in any of the kids' games, on startup or closedown or in any other 
applications.

is there some option i have missed or setting i need to select? the sound 
files are there and if i navigate to the /usr/share/sounds directory i can 
play them by double clicking each icon. i just cant work out how to turn 
them on for system events and games.

any help gratefully revcieved.

and for those people who helped me in november when i hwas having trouble 
with modems, turned out the problem was my phone cable. once i swapped that 
everything worked perfectly.

James
