openSuSE 11.4 RC2
I had similar problems with Amarok but I did get it working. These are
some of the headache I had with openSuSE and Amarok (and several others
in KDE).
1.Check permissions on all device /dev audio related items. Here it was
dsp and mixer The settings i set them to is 666 from 660.
2. The sound module was not spotted correctly aby Yast2 (Yet Another
Setup Tool). yast2>Hardware>Sound put dummy first above
"snd-hda-intel". I deferred dummy and that helped.
3. And to get Amarok and other programs to play mp3 I had to download
from SuSE a bunch of related mp3 stuff.
4. I also had to download, compile xine, install files and dump
gstreamer in Amarok. Good news phonon was not the problem
Amarok is now working correctly. Even on a git version.
Good luck!
