Description:
Yesterday I've upgraded the system, after reboot I hear no sound from KDE apps (amarok, dolphin).

I do use phonon-gstreamer and it seems phonon now use new gstreamer so I removed the old one (except extra/gstreamer0.10 and extra/gstreamer0.10-base, they are required by other packages). PulseAudio server is up and running, mplayer (smplayer) does work properly. but when I am truing to play something from amarok a popup notification says PulseAudio sound server device doesn't work.

When I am trying to test the sound from systemsettings it shows an error (a screenshot attached). What's weird it does play the alert sound signal when showing that popup.

I guess this is a duplicate of  FS#41889

That bug seems closed and I still have no sound. I do use PulseAudio, it is up and running and other apps that use pulseaudio work perfectly.

@Alexander
Please logout, then remove ~/.config/kde.org/libphonon.conf and then try again. If this doesn't work try with a new user.

@Serve
I guess your issue is related to  FS#41908

Neither removing of the file nor adding a new user worked for me, still getting the same error message.

Upgrade of qtwebkit to 2.3.3-2 solved the problem.

Yeah, definitely, everything work again, thanks for the help.
