KDE Phonon not producing sound

[John Holland]

I'm really motivated by Amarok, which I want to get working. It doesn't produce any sound. I think the Phonon sound system of KDE is not working. Alert sounds work in KDE but phonon setup shows no hardware. I tried building  kde-workbench ((not sure if that is the correct package name) with VLC backend instead of Gstreamer but still no luck. Any help would be great.

(I'm a recent refugee from Debian due to systemd, although I ran Freebsd for a while about 12 years ago)
