Same problem here with Windows XP SP3 and Amarok.

Did full uninstall, removed all config information and reinstalled. Still doesn't work. I didn't see a difference between MSVC or MinGW.

Confirmed by second reporter.

Same for me (but this only happened when I used Phonon 4.4.3)

Just wondering, is the Phonon DirectShow9 Backend updated between 4.4.2 and 4.4.3?

Thanks

DirectShow9 backend is totally unmaintained and deader than a doornail, sorry. Please try the VLC or GStreamer backends.
