[tde-users] Arts not initializing

I installed TDE 14.0.12 on another system. Arts fails to initialize correctly in that attempting to use media players results in no sound. The problem seems unique to this system and only with TDE. I have tried fiddling with the various arts configurations in TCC. Sound issues do not exist on this specific system with other desktop environments. Sound issues do not exist in other systems with TDE. Comparing $TDEHOME config files with the functional systems has not found anything helpful. Any ideas how to fix this issue? Thanks. DA
