I had the same problem when I upgraded from 9.04 JJ to 9.10 KK
However, when I started to report a bug with Amarok not working
while everything seemed to work fine, I left Amarok playing the playlist
and when the second song started playing, suddenly the sound
came blaring through.  I don't know if it works this way for everyone,
but it sure did for me.
