Disable arts?

I've searched here and on google, and can't seem to disable arts on Slack 10 in KDE 3.3
I load up the control center, go to sound and multimedia>system sound, and see NO tab or anything resembling arts. When I log out of KDE to the CLI I get all sorts of warnings and errors about arts. Even if I do a killall arts before logging out I still get the errors. Any ideas?

do you need to kill arts for a particular program to work? I have trouble killing arts, when i do it starts back up next time i do an event that envokes a sound. the reason why i wanted to kill arts was so that my quake III sound would work. I had to make a sh that killed arts and then started quake III in full screen. that way arts will stay killed till i exit out of quake.

but if you forever want to disable arts, just find the binary and do chmod -x

If my memory is good you could just unselect Enable sound system (or something like that) in the control panel, and KDE's sound system is arts

even though this is a dead thread, it shows up first on my google query. under kde 3.5 in "control center" blow up sounds and multi media. under the "sound system" tab is a disable sound system.

i needed to do this for a guitar program that uses /dev/dsp, and cannot have arts jamming it 24/7. i also chmod -x /usr/bin/artsd horay for no more arts =)
