First, check your phonon backend, and change it if you have more than one installed. Do you experience the same behavior still? Do you get a test sound? Settings > Configure Amarok > Playback: Configure Phonon: Backend tab Next, if you are still having problems, check to be sure you have the proper codecs installed for your chosen backend. Xine, VLC and Gstreamer all require different codecs, unfortunately. Finally, you can run Amarok from the console: amarok --debug --nofork . You'll get lots of output, but watch carefully when a flac is skipped, if that's still happening. If you need to write back, please mention the distro you are using, in case we've heard something about packaging problems, etc. Valorie _______________________________________________ Amarok mailing list Amarok@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok
