[Bug 349847] Re: no sound in amarok

[Myriam Schweingruber]

To Nik,
you absolutely need Phonon for Amarok and Dragon Player. Both applications send sound (and video for the latter) through that layer.
Make sure to also install and use the phonon-xine-backend, as gstreamer is not reliable.
Also, do not use Pulseuadio with the Xine backend, this is known to cause problems. If you are a KDE user, I strongly suggest you remove (purge) pulseaudio, as there is aboslutely no need for it.

To John,

well, then you are amongst the happy few not bothered by Pulseaudio.
Could be related to your hardware, but it is certainly not the
recommended way to go for KDE applications, as none of those uses
Pulseaudio.
