Amarok - No Sound When Playing Ubuntu 9.10

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

4) Restart Amarok 2


You now have sound!

  4. 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.

    Thanks for the solution!
