Re: [gentoo-user] [SOLVED] All KDE-related programs don't play music anymore

[Alexander Puchmayr <alexander.puchmayr@linznet.at>]

Hi,

I remember to have accidently started amarok via ssh on my notebook (wrong 
console window), with DISPLAY on my desktop. This seems to have scrapped 
phonon-config and/or pulseaudio config on both systems. 
After having removed these files (.pulse/ and 
.kde4/share/config/phonondevicesrc) on both systems, amarok played my music as 
expected.

Thanks to all who answered me.

Best Regards
	Alex
