Installing gst-libav, gst-plugins-ugly and gst-plugins-bad on Arch might solve this issue. Just had the same problem on a fresh Arch install and Juk started playing my audio files after I fetched those packages. I think it's more likely to be a problem with Arch's packaging not including the relevant audio codecs in optional deps, not a bug in Juk itself!
