Version: 3.2.2 (using 4.2.1 (KDE 4.2.1), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-11-generic When running Amarok or JuK with only the gstreamer backend of phonon installed, I get the popup shown in the attached screenshot at startup, and playback only sometimes works. When playback fails, there are no errors printed to stdout, and no indication of what could be wrong in the UI. Amarok sometimes displays a box saying that there have been too many errors and that it is stopping playback, while JuK seems to do nothing. Both cases are confusing for the user. With the Xine backend installed, I've had no similar problems so far.

Also note that in systemsettings, the test button work, and yet these sound problems occur nevertheless. This is occurring on an up to date version of Ubuntu 9.04.
The same problem occurs in my Ubuntu 9.04 final. I solved it by installing phonon-backend-xine. Nevertheless, for some reason, Amarok sound volume doesn't obey the settings of gnome-volume-applet...
This problem occurs on Archlinux, I've switched to Xine backend

Is this still valid with KDE SC 4.4.2?
Closing for lack of feedback. Please only reopen if you can reproduce this with the latest KDE SC 4.4.2/Phonon 4.4.0 or later and a recent gstreamer version.

I'm using KDE4.4.3 and Phonon > 4.4.1 I have to give more info about the crash. Firts the sound stops when i switch from xine to gstreamer. When i exit and start amarok it crashes. But when i start it for 2nd, 3rd and etc. time the crashes stop and the music is playing normally. Regards, Petar
Created attachment 53320 [details] New crash information added by DrKonqi amarok (2.3.2) on KDE Platform 4.5.2 (KDE 4.5.2) using Qt 4.7.0 - What I was doing when the application crashed: Amarok crashed when changing Phonon backend from Gstreamer to Xine while playing music. - Unusual behavior I noticed: Before changing from Gstreamer, the sound stuttered so much that the music was unrecognisable. That was not the case yesterday, after I changed from Xine to Gstreamer in order to seek in FLAC files. -- Backtrace (Reduced): #11 0x00007f0e96abed08 in Phonon::Gstreamer::MediaNode::disconnectNode (this=0x231c220, obj=0x31bb8e0) at /usr/src/debug/phonon-4.4.2/gstreamer/medianode.cpp:203 #12 0x0000003d86e2795d in Phonon::PathPrivate::executeTransaction (this=<value optimized out>, disconnections=..., connections=...) at /usr/src/debug/phonon-4.4.2/phonon/path.cpp:316 #13 0x0000003d86e2816f in Phonon::PathPrivate::phononObjectDestroyed (this=0x2329d60, mediaNodePrivate=0x220c870) at /usr/src/debug/phonon-4.4.2/phonon/path.cpp:408 #14 0x0000003d86e268bc in Phonon::MediaNodePrivate::~MediaNodePrivate (this=0x220c870, __in_chrg=<value optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/phonon-4.4.2/phonon/medianode.cpp:71 #15 0x0000003d86e26631 in ~MediaObjectPrivate (this=0x220c870, __in_chrg=<value optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/phonon-4.4.2/phonon/mediaobject_p.h:42
