Amarok MP3 Problem

I’m running OS 11.2x86_32, KDE 4.4.3 with the latest updates and a problem has cropped up with Amarok (version 2.3.0).

When starting the app it keeps saying there is no mp3 support and do I want to install it. Tell it yes, and restart the program and it says the same thing at each start. What’s strange is that mp3’s play just fine.

I’ve run the 10 steps for troubleshooting and all the codecs are fine, this appears to be an Amarok only problem. SMplayer works fine, Kaffeine and VLC too.

Wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior, and if there’s a way to fix it. Thanks.

I’m not getting this.
Try starting with fresh amarok config files
Do you know where they all are?

I’ve been looking for them, but no luck so far. Where are the Amarok config files located?

.kde4/share/config/amarok-appletsrc
.kde4/share/config/amarok_homerc
.kde4/share/config/amarokrc

Thank you for the locations.

Tried renaming the config files and got the same thing. The dialog box comes up before the one for kwallet, but Amarok still plays mp3’s just fine. Strange . . .
