Do you have all the gstreamer plugins installed? (good, bad and ugly?) That's how I base any new Fedora system, otherwise, MP3s don't play.

I have not used Amarok for some time. Is there a knack to using it under Fedora-24?

I have been using on F24 without any issues (not a single problem) so I can guarantee you that your problem is not universal. :-)

I listen to podcasts and also jamendo works.

The next question is if the sound works for you in other programs.

Thanks for your response. vlc works fine. How does one change the volume in amarok?

Hi,

I also could not play mp3 files after installing F24. (i had installed the good, the bad and the ugliest packages from rpmfusion, like i alwats done from pevious Fedora versions).

I found somewhere that i had to workaround it:

Install 'phonon-qt5-backend-vlc' and setup Amarok to use it.

Preferences -> Configure Amarok -> Reproduction -> Phonon Setup -> Engine -> Selec "VLC" and click on "PREFER".

Then Amarok was able to play mp3 normally.

I hope it helps. The default engine did not work for me at all.

Cheers.

I think you may have found a bug.

I just tried playing amarok with audio muted, and the mute/unmute in amarok seems to not work properly if audio was already muted outside of amarok.

If audio was not muted when amarok was launched, muting/umuting in amarok works.

The ways I found to unmute *outside* of amarok, included:

• press mute key on my keyboard
• press volume up/down keys on my keyboard
• right click plasma-pa audio applet in systray -> audio volume settings ->

audio volume ->output devices(tab), click unmute (icon with red minus sign)

Hi,

Well, i had to install from server net install, due to a bug that causes anaconda to not to detect my mdadm software raid devices, so probably you are right. (when i installed from lives in the past it always worked).

Cheers.

You probably missed something then, it definitely works if you do have the right stuff.

But vlc definitely includes all the codec support too.
