I've installed openSuSE 11.1 and I can't get any sound out of KDE4
applications.
The speaker test console app works ok, and the GUI applications
which are not part of KDE4 work also.
I get sound in smplayer, flash, avidemux, firefox and others, but
no sound from Amarok2, dragon player and other KDE4 applications.
KDE3 applications play sound ok, I can use Amarok 1.4 with no
problems. System notifications from KDE 4 work often, but not
always.

Check you phonon settings (systemsettings->audio (or "multimedia"
don't remember anymore if that was changed in 4.1)). Especially the
engine.

There's xine and gstreamer there and I'm using xine. I've tested
gstreamer too, but it was not any better (a bit worse, as a matter of
fact).
Before I installed openSuSE, I was running Fedora. In Fedora, at the
Device Preferences tab, two devices were shown: pulse audio and the
actual sound card (priority was set to pulse audio). Here in openSuSE,
only the sound card is shown, although I have pulse audio installed too.
Is this right? Shouldn't pulse audio be available in this dialog?
The pulse audio daemon is running, but it seems it's not being used.


You prolly want to ensure phonon-backend-xine is installed.
It's installed.

What filetypes are you trying to play? If you could test some oggs
then you could eliminate the possibility of a codec issue.

I tried mp3, wav, ogg, mpg, flv and wmv. The same files can be played
with sound in smplayer, so it must not be a codec issue.

Anything else I should check?

Thanks for your help,

Marcelo
