[SOLVED] No sound in Clementine nor Amarok

I'm using KDE with GStreamer as phonon backend.
This morning I tried to play some mp3 files on Amarok and they didn't work. I installed Clementine and I had the same results.
I can play videos and audio files on mplayer, so there is no problem with my soundcard.

On clementine, it is said that "the installation of GStreamer is missing one complement".
I installed all it is said in the wiki, but apparently I'm missing something.

Any ideas?

Have you tried the phonon-vlc backend?  That is what I'm using and .mp3 files seem to play fine in Amarok for me.

You need to install the gstreamer0.10-* packages. But yeah for amarok my advice would be to switch to phonon vlc, as phonon gstreamer tends to crash on track change.

It was because I didn't have installed some of gstreamer0.10 packages.
Also I changed to phonon-vlc.

Thanks guys!
