Hmmm, I switched from arts to aKode in juk and that definitely helped me! 
Playing system sounds has never been a problem for me, though. Is there a 
switch for system sounds where I can switch between arts and akode?

I haven't had the time yet to upgrade my box to 3.5.8 - but this is one of the 
next things on my todo list :-).

Ciao,
