Hey, this fixed my problem too! I usually use a USB headset, but occasionally use HDA Intel to use my stereo. I hadn't really looked into a fix because I don't use it that much, but I removed pulseaudio and now everything works.
If you remove pulseaudio and nothign works, go into your volume controls and make sure everything is turned up.

Re: Amarok no sound (Linux Mint Main Edition) Updated.
Hi, I think I had a similar problem after upgrading from Mint 6 to Mint 7 Main Edition.
I ran a clean install from iso, and since my /home was its own partition, document loss wasn't a concern.
However, I noticed that each time I rebooted the system, the sound would come back muted. When I shut down
I had just finished using AMAROK and nothing was muted then. After reboot and launching Amarok,
I'd have to open the GNOME Volume control applet and "un-mute" PCM in order to get audio out.
Doing this on each reboot became quite a chore. I even chose the GNOME session once or twice,
to find the speaker icon muted, un-mute it, then log out so I could use an Openbox or ICEWM session.
Result: more of the same. Sound would work fine until reboot, then it would mute PCM.
Following the advice a few posts above, I used Synaptic to do a "Complete Removal" of "pulseaudio".
Only pulseaudio ; not the handful of other pulseaudio-related files within Synaptic.
Now, the volume "sticks" or stays just where I left it. Joy!
If this helps, all other sound card preferences/sound preferences are left at their default values.
Good luck,
Adam
