I am using openSUSE 12.1, one on a desktop with an ASUS motherboard and another on a Lenovo 3000 V200 laptop. Since I have upgraded to KDE 8.2 on 2 computers is that neither of them will play music files with Amarok. My Amaraok app uses Xine as the phonon backend (not sure what phonon is, but that is what it says),

Phonon is an adapter that allows KDE apps to select which actual sound system to use. Don't use the xine backend, it is unmaintained. Use the gstreamer or Pulseaudio backends instead.

and in the configuration graphic, I have it set up with internal audio as the sound card. However, it defaults to my A4tech webcam as the sound card, whenever I close the configuration screen even if I set it to the internal audio as the sound card. On the audio playback device preference in Amarok configuration, which only has the internal card listed and not the webcam, if I hit the "test sound" button, the test sound plays through the speakers just fine. However, no music will play out of the play lists on the Amarok main screen.

This has happened on both computers that I upgraded to KDE 8.2. Other sound applications so far seem to work ok, though I haven't tested them all. Kaffeine and Banshee both play files ok.

Any suggestions on where to troubleshoot next?

Try PulseAudio instead, and deinstall phonon-backend-xine for safety.
