Q
What Is 'Tux Paint?
A
Tux Paint is a free drawing program designed for young children (kids ages 3 and up). It has a simple, easy-to-use interface, fun sound effects, and an encouraging cartoon mascot who helps guide children as they use the program. It provides a blank canvas and a variety of drawing tools to help your child be creative.
Make sure you're not running Tux Paint with the "--nosound" option as a command-line argument. (See the OPTIONS documentation for details.)
If it's not, then check the configuration file ("/etc/tuxpaint/tuxpaint.conf" and "~/.tuxpaintrc" under Linux and Unix, and "tuxpaint.cfg" under Windows) for a line reading: "nosound=yes".
Either remove that line, or simply run Tux Paint with the command-line argument: "--sound", which will override the configuration file's setting.
Alternatively, you can use Tux Paint Config. to change the configuration file. Make sure "Enable Sound Effects" (under "Video & Sound") is checked, then click "Apply".
