I can not get the sound working in KDE4 apps (Amarok 2, Juk).
If I enable the Gstreamer plugin I get a popup telling me that the sound system didn't work. But if I choose Xine Juk acts as normal and starts playing the track - but I can't hear anything. If I start up Xine while Juk is playing I hear whatever Xine is playing, but still nothing from Juk.
I upgraded KDE today and I'm using the latest version from pacman (4.1.0). I'd appreciate if anyone could help me fix this as I really like KDE4 this far.

I had the same problem. I copied .kde on to .kde4 and it cured my problem.

I tried configuring phonon with qtconfig today, and qtconfig just says that "not available" on phonon version and gstreamer version. Everything is greyed out and at the bottom it says that the Phonon GStreamer backend is not available.
`pacman -Qs phonon gstreamer' shows this:
local/phonon 4.2.0-1
KDE Phonon
local/gstreamer0.10 0.10.20-1
GStreamer Multimedia Framework
local/gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.20-1
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base plugin libraries
local/gstreamer0.10-base-plugins 0.10.20-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base Plugins (gst-plugins-base)
local/gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 0.10.4-1 (gstreamer0.10-plugins)
Gstreamer FFMpeg Plugin
So everything that's needed should be installed.
I'm very confused

Solved by installing every GStreamer package I could find and enabling the GStreamer backend instead of the Xine backend

I had a problem with this too, but after I made sure HAL was running sound seemed to work better. I had also read somewhere a few months ago that "ESD" was required for KDE4+, but am not sure if it's still necessary or not (I've been running KDE4.1svn for some time now). At any rate, hope that this helps and good luck!

Does any of you by any chance run oss4? Cause as far as I know you won't get any sound from kde4 until HAL implements oss4 device detection (since kde4 relies on HAL to detect the sound system)

Any more on this? I cant get my sound to work. It worked flawlessly in kde 3.5.9.
I have a soundblaster live!, so it should work...
Everything looks just fine in e.g. alsamixer, there is just no sound in the speakers

i had the same problem, solved with those steps:
0- For newcomers, read the http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA. If you had a working sound before (eg: KDE3), you already done this...
1- pacman -S gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins
2- System Settings -> Sound -> Infra-Structure, then assure that GStreamer is the first on the list.
I needed to restart the KDE (or the computer if you want to be 100% sure).
Sound now is working, but tested using Juk only. Not tried Amarok (as is not officially ported to KDE4).

It's weird, but installing and starting HAL got my Amarok2 working... I guess DHeart is right and KDE4 does depend on HAL for sound. All my other applications already worked, but they were non-KDE4 apps. Thanks a lot!

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.

To me it seem to work with pulseaudio

Followed leokolln's directions with one minor change: Replace "Infra-Structure" with "Backend".
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
