Version: 2.2.2 (using 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5) "release 0", openSUSE 11.2) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.12-0.1-default The sound is present in my system (i.e. Skype), it's also present in KDE (i.e. during login/logout or in Sound Test started from Amarok options), but there are no sound in Amarok. The program doesn't complain about lacking sound system, I can see the time progress but any sound. Please advice any other information you might need.

I've just update to 2.2.90 - no change. Oh and I raise the OpenSuse bug as it might be OS related issue: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588160
Please install the necessary codecs and ask in the OpenSuSE forum, this is a configuration problem on your system, not an Amarok bug.
Dear Myriam, Can you image that I had HAD installed all necessary codecs? Can you also image that I was using the very nice invention called OpenSuse website and googling to check any potential cause of problem? And finally writing your comment as a question would not hurt, would it, but would be much more polite ;) Anyway, the most interesting it's that Amarok is working today. I haven't change anything...
I have to reopen the bug. Amarok is soundless again. However, it doesn't happened every time. I tried to find a patter, but I couldn't ... I think it related to way KDE is communicated with sound card, but I have a sound in KDE... BTW. I'm using currently version 2.3.0.
Usually this is a problem with the system configuration. Check the following stuff: * are there other apps blocking the sound card? (lsof | grep snd). candidates: flash, skype, pulseaudio, etc * are encessary channels muted? * is phonon configured correctly? * are all codecs installed? And so on. Especially puleaudio is a source of maaaaaany problems there.
* are all codecs installed? Yes. Amarok even works - sometimes... * are encessary channels muted? No. I can hear sound from other programs. * is phonon configured correctly? Yes. There is a sound in KDE. * And so on. Especially puleaudio is a source of maaaaaany problems there. I know, therefore I didn't installed it at all. * are there other apps blocking the sound card? (lsof | grep snd). candidates: flash, skype, pulseaudio, etc I've tried to figured out as this sound as possible trouble reason. However, it seems that Amarok sometimes work along flash+skype and sometime not... Anyway I've upgraded KDE to 4.4 and see if it change anything.
