+>I/O means Input and Output, and this panel allows you to configure how &kde; and &arts; interact with your sound hardware.</para>
+
+<para
+>The first option you can configure in the <guilabel
+>Sound I/O</guilabel
+> panel is the <guilabel
+>Sound I/O method:</guilabel
+>. It tells &arts; which sound system to use for input and output of sound. Current choices are <acronym
+>ALSA</acronym
+> (Advanced &Linux; Sound Architecture), <acronym
+>OSS</acronym
+> (Open Sound System), <acronym
+>ESD</acronym
+> (Enlightenment Sound Daemon), no audio at all and autodetect. In most cases <quote
+>Autodetect</quote
+> will be perfect for you.</para>

+<term
+><guilabel
+>Use custom sound device:</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem>
+<para
+>Normally, the sound server defaults to using the device called <filename class="devicefile"
+>/dev/dsp</filename
+> for sound output. This should work in most cases. An exception is, for instance, if you are using devfs, then you should use <filename class="devicefile"
+>/dev/sound/dsp</filename
+> instead. Other alternatives are things like <filename class="devicefile"
+>/dev/dsp0</filename
+> or <filename class="devicefile"
+>/dev/dsp1</filename
+> if you have a soundcard that supports multiple outputs or you have multiple soundcards.</para>
+<tip>
+<para
+>If you often use non-&arts; aware applications, and you have a soundcard that supports it, try setting &arts; to use a different device than <filename class="devicefile"
+>/dev/dsp</filename
+>. This way, other applications will be able to use the default device, while &arts; is still running, without giving any error messages.</para>

+<term
+><guilabel
+>Use custom sampling rate:</guilabel
+></term>
+<listitem>
+<para
+>Normally, the sound server defaults to using a sampling rate of 44100 Hz (<acronym
+>CD</acronym
+> quality), which is supported on almost all hardware. If you are using certain Yamaha soundcards, you might need to configure this to 48000 Hz here; if you are using old SoundBlaster cards, like SoundBlaster Pro, you might need to change this to 22050 Hz. All other values are possible too and may make sense in certain contexts (&ie; professional studio equipment).</para

+>artsd</application
+>. The options will be appended, so they will override the choices made in the <acronym
+>GUI</acronym
