added user to audio und video group?
as root: gpasswd -a user group

configured soundcard via alsa?
as root: alsaconf

sound works fine in firefox (youtube with flash plugin) but nothing plays/works in dragon player or amarok2

Welcome to the forums.

If you start either from a terminal, are you getting any error messages?

pacman -S codecs gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-ugly gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-mad gstreamer0.10-mpeg2dec

as per arch wiki.

One thing I noticed:

output wrote:

"Warning: You do not seem to have the package gstreamer0.10-plugins-good installed.

installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-good solved the problem.

kde phonon depends on gstreamer to work,

thnx everyone for the help.

so flash plugin doesnt need phonon or gstreamer to work????
