Multimedia - Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_phonon.so

When trying to access “Multimedia” from System Settings, I get an error message as follows:

Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_phonon.so:(/usr/lib/kde4/kcm_phonon.so undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon12GlobalConfig28setAudioCaptureDeviceListForENS_8CategoryE5QListiE)Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_phonon.so:(/usr/lib/kde4/kcm_phonon.so undefined symbol: _ZN6Phonon12GlobalConfig28setAudioCaptureDeviceListForENS_8CategoryE5QListiE)

Possible Reasons:

* An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned  control module
* You have old third party modules lying around.

Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.

And then when I click OK, it closes, and that’s it.

Any idea how to prevent this, so I can access the multimedia settings and change them.

The reason I want to see the settings, is because Amarok 2.3 won’t play any songs (even though version 1.4 still works).

Thanks in advance,
Sam

Hi, does anybody have any suggestions about this please?

Thanks

If you are trying to use a newer version of Phonon so that the Amarok equalizer will work than came with the KDE version you have loaded, then I think you are in a pickle. I tried doing the same thing. Sound would work, Amarok 2.3 Equalizer would work, but Multimedia display was simply blank. Either you need to upgrade KDE to a newer version or downgrade Phonon back a supported version for your KDE version and do not use the Amarok equalizer. Consider that openSUSE 11.3 will be coming out this summer and all of these issues will be resolved for you then.

Thank You,
