Description Thilo-Alexander Ginkel 2010-09-02 21:43:15 UTC
Version:           2.3.1 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

When playing OGG Vorbis audio files tagged with Replay Gain information through Amarok the Replay Gain tags seem to be ignored: The sound level does not change when changing the Replay Gain setting at "Settings" -> "Replay Gain Mode", nor when removing the tags from the .ogg.

Files have been tagged using vorbisgain. An affected file's metadata reads (dump produced using ogginfo):

ReplayGain depends on the Phonon backend you use, could you please specify that?

I have been using the Xine backend. An attempt to switch to the Gstreamer 
backend crashed Amarok when applying the settings and on consecutive restarts 
until I manually changed the backend order back in the config file.

Looks like there is a corresponding Xine bug [1] and a KDE bug [2], which has 
been marked as resolved...

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 184732 ***

Now I'm confused. While this is a likely duplicate of bug 184732 and that bug has been marked as resolved, the issue is still there (in KDE 4.5.x).

So I'm not too happy about closing this bug without any follow-up.

Do your tracks have the ReplayGain tag? You can use vorbisgain to tag them. 
ReplayGain works fine here, using Amarok 2.4-git with KDE 4.6 beta 2 on Kubuntu 10.10, using the Xine backend.
