It looks indeed similar as problem in the bugreport.

I ran 'amarok --debug-audio' and Amarok started up with soundlevel=0.
I altered the soundlevel to 100% manualy and aborted Amarok.

Then I used 'amarok --debug'  and strange enough Amarok started up with
soundlevel=100%.
Since then Amarok starts up with soundlevel=100%.

I've rebooted the pc several times and so far always soundlevel=100%"

Correction: Again soundlevel=0%" afer a new restart.

I'm not familiar with making bug reports.
May I send you the result of amarok --debug-audio and amarok
--debug directly to you?

amarok --debug contains 48 952 lines

Best regards,
Martin
