I just upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and now I can't play media in VLC - the screen flickers and sends me to the log in screen. I have problems playing audio in Amarok as well. It just doesn't seem to respond to when I try to play a file. Amarok was upgraded during the general upgrade so maybe this is just some random setting.

I am also having problems with sound
At first it was only Amarok, I haven't managed to get audio for a single track
Now it is everything else

Noone?
I have checked a few more things, and it seems my problem is only related to vlc and amarok, as I can play video i MPlayer and audio in Rhythmbox. I really can't figure out what's wrong. But please help, as they are both my apps of choice.

The Amarok buisness was fixed by installing phonon-backend-xine

I re-installed vlc, and it seems to have fixed that issue as well.
