Hi, If you are using xine as your engine, and trying to play mp3s, then you need to make sure you have the following installed: libxine1-ffmpeg Once you install that, then go into your home directory and remove the .xine/. I was having problems listening to mp3 streams and doing the above resolved my problems. I note that using the mplayer engine in kmplayer worked fine however, if switching to the xine engine for kmplayer or amarok, mp3s wouldn't play without the addition of libxine1-ffmpeg library. The above assumes you are using the xine engine for your sound. If you are using other engines, this fix shouldn't resolve your problem.
