Re: [Evolution] How to setup esd to have sound ?

[Etienne Tourigny <et omeo ca>]

esd should be started when you login your gnome session.  Make sure you
checked "Enable sound server startup" in the Gnome Control Center under
Multimedia->Sound->General.


If you're using KDE then there is some magic to do.  Search the list.
