No sound from Amarok in Gnome

Just installed Arch, from having used Ubuntu

Sound seems to work with everything else - totem and the mplayer command get music playing just fine.

But in Amarok, while every other aspect of it seems to behave fine, it doesn't make any sound. Alsa is selected as the output plugin. I get this on opening Amarok from terminal:

$ amarok

I figure that something's going wrong there, and I'm guessing the issue is to do with Amarok being run through Gnome and not KDE. However, that's where my ideas end. As I enjoyed using Amarok in Ubuntu, any help would be much appreciated.
