Which Phonon backend do you use? You need the phonon-backend-gstreamer, as the phonon-backend-vlc doesn't support the Analyzer.
You can see this from the Amarok Help -> Diagnostics menu.

Thanks for reply. VLC (0.7.1) was choosen by default as Phonon backend. 

I realized it after your reply. I fix it by opening Amaron -> Settings -> Configure Amarok... -> Playback -> Configure Phonon -> Backend -> Prefer GStreamer on top -> Apply/OK -> Quit Amarok -> Reopen Amarok.

Analyzer and everything on Amarok work fine now with GStreamer (4.7.2) as Phonon Backend.

Thanks again for your quick reply and sorry for the inconvenience.
