This happens to me all the time, its the sound system not recognizing amarok because its buggy (or something like that.) What you need to do is play a video file in totem, because that somehow makes the sound pop back on again.

I have Kubuntu Dapper 6.06 AMD64 at home and have loaded/ran Easyubuntu in order to get added repos, multimedia, etc. I have system sounds working and I get audio and video from a DVD playing in the drive, but .mp3 files give no sound when played in Amarok.
Crweb had me install some lib stuff that should have added support, but "w32codecs" said it had no installation target, like it had changed it's name. He linked me to a .deb, which wouldn't install because it was meant for i386 and not x64.
I'll check out the following links tonight to see if that sheds more insight.

That is one of the things I added. Still no sound out of Amarok. It acts like it is playing though.

This is probably an obvious question, but have you checked your WAVE output levels in alsamixer, or whatever mixer you are using?

I have Kmix and I have tried raising all the levels up, but it makes no difference. AC '97 level was off and at bottom as well as 3D, Mono, Surround, Mic, Input. PCM was up.

On Debian based distros there is a curses script called "alsaconf" which will automatically choose the correct primary audio device and set the mixer levels correctly.
