Which phonon backend do you use? You can check that in the Settings menu -> Configure Amarok -> Playback -> Configure Phonon. From your description I guess you use the gstreamer backend of which this is a known bug. Please either upgrade to the latest version 4.6.0 of that backend or use the phonon-backend-vlc instead. Correct, it was using the gstreamer backend, and that was the only choice available. I installed 'phonon-backend-vlc' package here on my Kubuntu 11.10 system, and reconfigured Amarok to use it. Unfortunately, the issue persists. :( It seems to happen the majority of the time; my initial attempt to switch from Bassdrive to SomaFM worked! Then when I tried to go back to Bassdrive, nothing. I added another stream to my playlist, and now it consistently either plays no sound, or a split second of sound, when I attempt to change streams by double-clicking them in the playlist. Thanks! Which version of the phonon-backend-vlc do you use? Please make sure you also have the kubuntu backports PPA activated to have the latest versions. Version: 0.4.1-1. Will try the kubuntu backports PPA and report back when I have time. Thanks! I can't reproduce this here with the vlc backend, but I have version 0.5.0. Although I can't remember anyone reporting this behavior with the vlc backend for previous versions either. I can reproduce it on Amarok 2.6-git (In reply to comment #6) > I can reproduce it on Amarok 2.6-git And you are sure you did try with the phonon-backend-vlc as the previous comments suggest? William: This is most likely an issue with the phonon-backend-gstreamer. Please upgrade to Amarok 2.6 and KDE 4.8.5 or later and make sure you have at least the phonon-backend-gstreamer version 4.6.2. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 268892 *** Upgraded to a much more recent version of Kubuntu (12.10) and it seems to work fine now. Diagnostics reports: Amarok Version: 2.6.0 KDE Version: 4.9.2 Qt Version: 4.8.3 Phonon Version: 4.6.0 Phonon Backend: GStreamer (4.6.2) PulseAudio: No |
