Finally finally found it. Amarok lost sound when I upgraded to 9.04 having completed an upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 i thought it was about time I got it back since I can't quite get Amarok out of my "I NEED IT!!!" media player favorite zone.
After some searching the solution is:
1) Download this file: libphonon.conf
2) Put it in /home/[your username]/.config/kde.org/ (you might need to create the directory, you will also need to view hidden folders to see the .config directory.)
3) If you don't have phonon-backend-xine install it.
sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-xine or use the synaptic package manager

sudo apt-get install phonon-backend-xine or use the synaptic package manager
4) Restart Amarok 2
You now have sound!

Thanks. I have tried several solutions, and yours was the one that worked.
ReplyDeleteWhat Graham T said. Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeletethanks!
ReplyDeletehow did you find this solution?
In 9.10, downloading libphonon.conf to /home/[your username]/.config/kde.org/ is all it took for me. Did not need to install phonon-backend-xine.
