Hello,
with the above mentioned configuration I cannot get Amarok to play sound. However, when I go in Amarok to Settings → Configure Amarok → Playback → Sound System Configuration and press the test button there is no error in the playback…I read in various forums I have to change the sound settings, but no matter what I choose, Amarok does not seem to take my gnome sound preferences into consideration.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.
Here is the output of amarok --debug in case it helps…

So I found this on the Ubuntu forums:
Hi,
I installed Amarok 2 in Jaunty, by running ‘sudo aptitude install amarok’. This installs Amarok. However, there is no way to configure the audio output; inside Amarok, there is no option.
So, the only option is to install the package kdebase-workspace and run systemsettings. Inside the multimedia section, I could select pulse-audio (so the playback would not default to a digital output). Afterwards, I removed the kdebase-workspace package.
However, wouldn’t it be better if Amarok could be configured or uses the default Gnome sound settings if it is started inside Gnome? The way I did it, is very clumsy.
Seems to be a workaround…The kdebase-workspace is installed on my system…where can I find “systemsettings”?
Any help appreciated.
run systemsettings from the command line. Problem for me is that I get the same settings presented in amarok settings, so not much of a workaround for me.
